I am finally about to make the switch to a SWG. I'm looking at the CaliMar Titanium Edition Inground. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this brand?? It's really inexpensive and has a 7yr warranty. Any thoughts? CaliMar Titanium Edition In-Ground Salt Chlorine Generator up to...

Hallelujah! It took 9 days to complete but the Slam is complete! Pool has never looked better!!! It was slow to start but then sped up toward the end. I vacuumed every day from day 4-9.I do think it accelerated things a bit, even when I was doing it 'blind'. Here are pics of days 3,4,5,6 & 9...

Haha, omg! It's looking near perfect. I think I'll probably be done tomorrow. I'll post a pic. :-) 36000 G, IG, sand, vinyl, no SWG

I know there is no significant debris. It's like dirt. No drain in the bottom.... And if I'm getting a free chlorine reading, wouldn't that be free, available chlorine? And I so don't want to go to the pool store.... I think I'm going to see if I can vacuum some of the 'dirt' in the morning...

No ladders in, skimmers are clean, can't even see the lights yet. My test results, and thanks for the backwash info, I'll stop. 36000 G, IG, sand, vinyl, no SWG
