    Chlorine Stain?

    Due to some unexpected circumstances my wife ended up adding half a gallon liquid chlorine to my fiberglass pool and didn't mix it up after she added it. I now have a yellow stain on the bottom of the pool leading to the drain. Does anyone know anything to correct this.

    Official 2018 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

    I stopped buying ground beef, fresh, or frozen. I buy a chuck roll from Restaurant Depot, cut it up and grind my own, this way I know exactly what is going in it. For me 80/20 is the best combination for burgers but I like 85/15 for meatloaf and other types of ground beef dishes.

    I use both. I like to use the grill part for heating large pots of stuff when I am making things on my Big Joe. It also works well for heating the pot for low country boils, one of our favorites. It is very versatile, as far as I am concerned. If you get one i'll give you a tip, that sounds...

    I looked at both the Camp Chef and the Blackstone when I was researching these. I decided the Camp Chef, even though it's a little smaller, is just sturdier built than the Blackstone. I have never regretted getting the Camp Chef.

    I have the Camp Chef 600 and I love it. I use it all the time for breakfast, when I have some of the grand kids staying over and smash burgers, as well as many other things. One of the things I like about the CC is the whole top just lifts off and you have a regular gas burner grill available. I...

    Anyone using this SWCG?

    +1 on the Circupool. I went to an SWG system last year an Circupool RJ30 Plus, for my 11000 gallon pool and my Circupool worked great all year. Another factor to consider, whichever way you decide to go, is Circupool has a great warranty that also covers self install. Most SWG makers have a...

    Getting a SWG (finally). Really need some advice.

    I upgraded to an SWG system last year and after much research and help from the forum, I went with the Circupool RJ30 Plus for my 11000 gallon pool and I couldn't be happier. The customer service is great and they have full warranty with self install. I also decided to upgrade to a VS pump...

    How to setup Variable Speed Pump with SWC

    Last year I upgraded my pool to an SWG and a new variable speed pump. I just wired the pump direct and used my current manual timer to run the SWG. Just make sure when you set the timers that the pump will be running whenever the SWG is powered.

    What to do?

    Thanks guys. I have checked the OCL and it's about normal for as cool as it's been here. I think it's getting cloudy just from not being filtered. My Dolphin does a little filtering but not near enough for the whole pool. I think I will raise the FC level to about 15 until I get the pump...

    What to do?

    Here is my problem, I have been without a pump for over 3 weeks now and it looks like it will be Friday or next week before I can get it up and running. I have been keeping it as clean as I can by skimming and running my Dolphin A30i. The chemical balance as well as possible, adding LC when...

    Swg recommendations

    I installed the CurcuPool RJ Plus in my system this spring, along with a new VS pump. I used the current pump timer to turn the SWG on and off, works great with the flow switch as a backup. Which it turned out I needed the flow switch, as my new Hayward VS pump failed this month. I should have...

    Fix leak in PVC. Repair guy said 200-300!

    Flex Seal now comes in a tape format and is supposed to work well. I would at least try that first.

    Swg recommendations

    If you are looking for a stand alone system then the CircuPool RJ Plus series is hard to beat, if you have automation then it's best to go with that company's SWG for better integration. If you list your pool size and equipment in your sig the guys will be better able to help you.

    Pump Problem

    I just installed the pump in June, so even with their 1 year for self install, it's still under warranty. I just hate to go through getting someone out here to look at it and then waiting for any parts ordered to then come back and install them. I wanted to close the pool next week and I don't...

    Pump Problem

    Having pump problems again. I have the Hayward Tristar SP3202VSP VS Variable Speed Pool Pump and I am getting an error code of Check System, Low DC voltage. The troubleshooting guide just says it's not a real failure and to turn off the circuit breaker for 1 minute and it will reset. Mine does...
