Ahh SWEET SUCCESS!!!! So I was on my way out the door to go out of state. I added another 80 lbs of salt, 9 lbs of stabilizer, shocked it, put a chlorine puck in the skimmer and algaecide.. I then set the SWG and pump to a 12 hour cycle and 30% generation even though the LEDs were still...

The drop test reads 2300. The SWG read 1900 at first. I recalibrated it, and it came back at 2300 as well so I left it be. I can add more salt today, but it won't be until this afternoon because I just got off shift and we had a busy night. I need to go to bed for a bit. I think what I am going...

Hello all: First of all I would like to say thank you for your advice on closing my pool last fall!!! I opened this year to a crystal clear pool. Now I have had the pool up and running for three weeks now, but I just can't seem to get this stupid SWG right. I purchased a Hayward AquaTrol HP...

Trying to dial in a new Hayward Aqua-Trol HP.... HELP Merged by moderator. No need to have duplicate posts. Thanks, jblizzle A little back story if you have not seen my Introduction thread. On Friday I installed the SWG, and dosed the pool with bleach to bring the FC to 4.0ppm, because it was...

Well lets just say that my experiment was a success?? Maybe, but.. umm yea so... On Friday I installed the SWG, and dosed the pool with bleach to bring the FC to 4.0ppm. I had the SWG run a 24 hour on cycle, at 40% to see if it would generate bleach. I let it run until Saturday morning, where I...

The unit is brand new, so I assume the cell is clean. Its only been running for a day. I didn't inspect the cell before I installed it....

Ok so a little update. I posted a thread in Everything Else, and I was kicking around the idea of either a Stennar pump with bleach dosing setup, or a SWG setup. After much reading and research I decided on a SWG setup, the Hayward Aqua-Trol HP to be exact. I ordered it, and it came in on...

Well I did more reading, and tonight I pulled the trigger on a Hayward Aqua Trol HP... All the research I was doing pointed me to this unit. Hopefully I can get it installed with no issues and up and running soon. It should be here Wednesday..

Well I did a good bit of reading and research yesterday, and I am really digging on the Hayward Aqua Trol HP.... It seems like a five minute install and I like that it won't hang off the side of the pool like the RJ model. It also has a built in plug and timer for my pool pump... Any input or...

Thanks for the replies!! karma biker, I have no stones or coping. It is a vinyl walled above ground pool...

So you think that a Stenner pump would be more beneficial then a salt water generator? Interesting. BTW: Thanks for moving the thread!!! :)

I would like to bump this thread, rather than start a new one. I am new to this forum, and just got my pool back in check in the last few days with much help from the forum members here. In my introduction I stated the issues I have with being around daily to tend to the pool. After doing some...

Yea, I ran out the other day. I already had to go to WalMart, so I picked up some of their 8% bleach for I think $2.98 a gallon.... Now I need to figure out how I am going to get bleach into the pool when no one is home...

Alright. A little update. I passed the OCLT!!!! I started SLAMming the pool on JUly 20th, with a target FC of 15 throughout. I maintained it and checked and added as often as I could when I was home. On the 21st I checked it on my way into work and the OCLT was a -3ppm, so it didnt pass. On the...

Well I just checked the chlorine levels, and I don't think its promising.... FC - 4.0ppm CC - 0.5ppm TC - 4.5ppm Thats a loss of 4.0ppm overnight. I guess its time to SLAM the pool....
