What do I do to slam. So I should turn off the SWG and slam? Explain what I need to do Thanks,

Pool was looking mucky. SWG clean light going off. Cleaned SWG. FC not even reading... Running boost to get levels up to normal. Is there a faster easier way? Thanks,

I usually sit around 7.4 -7.8 the total alkalinity is around 120-130 water temp freezing cold or at least feels like it...

This site is a book of knowledge. I love when the internet is used for good... Thanks. Anything to reverse the affects?

It's not calcium or scaling I know that for certain. Pool was just done about 3 months ago, and it would have formed on the tile also. Salt water system and I am keeping the ph in range. Yeah I am well versed on the calcium department. that I why the pool was redone... But i had never heard...

Anyone even hear of such a thing? I'm thinking the pool company is full of bull!?

Anyone here of this happening with Newly installed PT? Carbonation because of alkalinity? Causing white blotches on the newly laid surface of the PT.

Good day all. With summer drawing to a close. Here in Arizona we like to try and use our pools as long as we can... Solar. Anyone one use any kind of solar covers, blankets etc...? I don't want anymore equipment something simple. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dennis

Hi everyone. We got a boat load of rain yesterday here in Az. My pool is up about 4 inches. Plan on backwashing this morning. As for SWG will I need to add salt? I haven't done a chemical reading yet have school this morning... Will acid need to be added with all that rain water? Thanks...

Okay I will take a look at the TA. Baking soda to lower?

I will take another gander. I added a quart last week and it brought it down. Will it keep going back up? I was told by my dadinlaw that I would be using acid a lot...?

Fired up the SWG 2 weeks ago. Seems to be running fine. But I seem to be running basic. a tad over 8.2 . How do I bring it down?

I have a Itelliflo VR with a Intellichlor SWG all new We are fire up the Salt water system today, but the electrician is encounter a electrical problem with the SWG. Needs to be on a timer box so as to fire up when the Intelliflo VR fires up. The geniuses at Pentair didn't make the system...

It is getting near time to do my first back wash. Most of what I have read states a specific "Pressure" is when you back wash if I am understanding correctly? If that is the case, what is the pressure when one should back wash? Thank you.

Nope! I have not had great results with "GURUs" at the pool store out here in AZ. One would think with the most pool per capita, right?
