After reading threads, I think I may be running on high too long- typically 7 am - 7 pm. Then the remainder goes on low. It seems I will be ok generating salt on low speed- how do I tell salt generation is adequate- short of looking at dropping CL readings- don't want to risk algae starting...

I ahve a little white floating "thing" that I received with my cover I bought- part of a closing kit. It has holes in it and disperses chlorine over time (I guess). What do I need to put in the floating thing that goes under my cover when I close it?? Thanks

About two weeks ago i was having some algae growth so I got my FC to shock levels- actually, much higher- they were in the mid 30s at times. Well, I have sparkling clean water, but my FC is still very high (mid 20s) I have not added any bleach in over 2 weeks, and it is hot and sunny here- low...

OK- here's my readings- matched the pool store by the way- CL 6 FC 0 CYA 60 TA 80 PH 7.6 Salt 3100 ppm My temp is 82 and I have noticed the pool is getting darker blue, not crystal clear like it has been- rain recently- They said my phosphates were over 1000 and I needed phosphate remover and...

Auto Pilot Dig 220- 30,000 gal inground vinyl. Opened pool yesterday and CYA was lower than 20- possibly zero. Added 12 lbs of CYA. I also added enough bleach to bring up to 12- nothing really showed up- the test stayed very light yellow. Also added 240 lbs of salt. Here's my AutoPilot...

30,000 gal Vinyl- FC-4 CC-0 TA 80 PH 7.8 CYA 60 82 degrees Added some acid to get ph down a little- also added 96 ozs of bleach- it's all I had left. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have noticed, what I thought was dirt, some slippery light brown slimy stuff, that brushes easily-some sort of algae- It's a pretty new pool but here are my numbers- Salt water Pool, vinyl, 27,000 gallons 80 degrees 1.5 TC , 0 CC - Has been holding strong at around 3.5 in our hot 95 degrees...

Okay, new pool- couple problems- that I am going to have to live with, cause I didn't catch it. My walls on the deep end right side fell about 5 inches from level when the concrete footer was in place. The guys forgot to re-shoot level with the laser. They ended up having to shim the coping...

OK 2 main issues I need help with before I scream! 1. Dual speed pump- wired from the Autopilot with relay installed- Low speed, no problems whatsoever. High speed- works 20 minutes or so, then shuts off. I took a temp reading of the motor casing, it was 150 degrees. Now: 2. I have my...

New pool- Autopilot SWG- no salt added yet, just bleach- Using a TF100 test kit. No CYA added yet (getting the pump working first) Chl 2.5 PH 6.8 TA 300??? CYA- 0 of course Temp 88 Could my TA be that high- it's tap water from my house? If so, what do I do to lower from that amount- it...

Been a few years since I owned a pool. I forgot if a pump is supposed to feel hot to the touch? It also has a little smell to it, figured becasue it is brand new- runs very quiet, but feels hot?? It is a dual spd 1.5 hp Hayward- wired to 240v with #12 wire on a 20amp breaker

20x40 IG vinyl with Autopilot 220- I have a timer going to the autopilot, then to the pump (when wiring is complete) Here's where I'm confused- I have read to keep the SWG off for a few days-get the salt level up, and use bleach- problem is, the SWG will have to be on for the pump to be on...

Instructions are very minimal in the Autopilot manual- Dig 220 is what I have- I installed the relay unit that is to control the High/low pump speed. Sean has been helpful, but still can't answer, with certainty, how to wire from the SWG unit to the pump. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r243725...

I will be filling up my new 20x40 IG vinyl in a few days. i have an Autopilot SWG- what should I do on day one to start my chemicals- I think I should add: CYA to a level of around 60-70?? Bleach to start before salt kicks in- not sure how much baking soda for PH?? Or borax?? Thanks for help

Confused on how to wire this- (my pool will be completed tomorrow!!) From power supply to Timer, to Autopilot, to Pump-correct? I have the optional relay for dual speed pumps on the autopilot, so will the autopilot then control the hi/low speed of the pump?? There is a manual switch on the...

Hi to all- I finally have walls around my 20x40 Grecian Lazy L 8' rock hole! Getting closer everyday!! :party: My question is how to wire the pump- no instructions- Also, I want to use a timer. I am new to this forum, and hope to use it a lot! thanks for your help. I also will hooking up...

Plastic or SS? I've had one in the past, but gave forgotten what to do. I don't want the look of corrosion- and I want the screws to not fail and deteriorate - brass? Thanks
