I ordered a SWG(intex) and now the excitement of learning something new starts... When should I add the salt..? now as I wait for the Generator to get here... after I get the Generator plumbed in... How many bags should I have on hand? Just a quick estimate...

I was thinking of adding a SWG to my Inground pool. I was thinking the Intex will be fine as I just want to make sure there is Chlorine in the pool when I travel. Cutting down on my Sam's Club trips would be awesome too. I was looking at the 8110 model, but have some questions on hooking it...

Well it is spring and I am ready for a project. The dedicated line for the Vac was capped off when I got the pool so I can hook it up however I want. How exactly, do I want? =] So, Where should I run the Vac line? The return side? The Pump side? And how should I T it in to that line? My...

I just got a new liner in the pool Saturday and the pool all filed up. I cranked on the filter and backwashed for 3 minutes(plus a rinse cycle) to clear the old water out of the sand filter. Everything looked great. I turned the lever to 'filter' and it started filtering, but had a loud hum...

Manual cleaning or Robotic cleaning... which do you guys prefer? I am considering a Aquabot or similar.....

UPDATE: Installing the correct voltage time worked. I'm such as DumbMule I have a new Intermatic timer (T101R) that I just hooked up to my pool. I attached it to the wall and ran two conduits all seemed well. I took the Line to A and 1 (where the clock motor was installed) and the load to...
