    Choosing the right filter

    Pentair clean and clear plus 420. I agree on the better water management. The drain and refill is my new start. I don't want to go through this cleaning thing again.

    Choosing the right filter

    So, I just had the calcium sprayed from my pool. It was a complete drain and refill. The company left a ton of residue and I think even washed a ton down the drain. I cleaned the filters out and alot of it came out. It was so bad there was 3 inches of sludge on the bottom of the filter housing...

    Liquid Stabilizer

    ugh - I don't have a vacuum - I should have stuck with the slow and steady way - that stuff is stubborn when it comes to dissolving in open water. If I push it into the drain, am I going to hurt anything? It will at least get it off of the plaster

    Liquid Stabilizer

    First time using liquid stabilizer (and last time after this). I shook it and poured it around the edge. It's part milky substance but many whole granules just like using the dry stuff I normally put in a sock. It's all over the bottom. From what I've read, can I just brush into the main drain...

    How do I know if I need to add salt

    I just installed the Tru Clear and use the 1766 kit. It works great. Super easy to use. Although, there may be an argument between brick red and brown.

    Switching to SWG tomorrow and need guidance please

    All. I got someone out to connect to the auxiliary. Had to call jandy as the owners manual diagram did not have a scenario for 1 power source. After a small jumper on the motor, works like a charm. Turns on at 1750 rpm and shuts off on waaaay back down at 1750 rpm. Perfect!!

    TA reading

    After the 7 th drop, it looked clear. Maybe the stars aligned for it to happen but the green looked gone. In any case, i'm registering 80 and will stop being stingy and go one extra. I normally stop when i see the color change but I'll start adding one more.

    TA reading

    Quick question... this gues for anything but in this case, it's TA. Water turned clear at 7 drops. The next one would have been red but I saved the drop. The question is... register 70 or 80?

    Yes, and i use it for the pump but I think the guy is saying it can't be used for the swg. I love it for the pump.
