    Supporting SWG weight

    I’m planning the installation of a new pump including a SWG and replumbing everything. My plan was to remove the automatic chlorinator and just come straight out from the pump valve with the SWG (blue) and put the flow sensor in the red part. The SWG is actually quite a bit heavier that I was...

    Start SLAM now or wait for filter?

    Just opened the pool today to find a nice swamp under the cover :D. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong filter grid (DE filter) over the winter, so I have to wait until Wednesday for the right one to arrive. Is it worth starting my SLAM tomorrow, vacuuming the crud on the bottom to waste and...

    How quickly can I convert to chlorine?

    I just found out the pool at the house I am buying is using baquacil instead of chlorine. I definitely want to convert it to chlorine, but trying to figure out if I should do it now or wait until the spring. It seems like from reading here that the conversion takes a long time. If I were to...

    CYA Test

    I'm closing on a house with a pool on Tuesday. Last night we did a walkthrough and I snagged a sample of the pool water. I ran the CYA test as described in my Taylor k-2006 kit but nothing seemed to happen. It sounds like the dot is supposed to disappear because the solution should be...
