First year with SWG. Wondering if there is any reason to bring in the control box for it with it being freezing for 3+ days without breaking 32?

It's all down hill now till next pool season!

Does it hurt to leave the power on to a SWG in winter even though it may not be producing all the time due to cold water. Set it around 20% or so.

In effect from 10 am this morning until Novenber 1. This has been a public service announcement.

Same old story...friends pool going south from I'm sure from the pool frog. I just get a call that pool store sold them Wipeout they put in 24 hours ago. Will that stuff initially make it even more cloudy? Headed to test it all this evening.. she's convinced that the ph and alkanity being off...

Hope we have as good a turn out as last year! I have raised FC pre-party per TFP protocol.

Does it matter which way the weir door lays on the water? Weir door 1 seems to be the favorite but it sure is easier to get to and work the plastic retainer clips if they're on the "top" side as in weir door 2. weir door 1 looks better from inside the pool! Solid face. Both pictured with door...

May be just me but I don't think so. I've already noticed swim suits fading a lot more this year over last since I just put in the SWG. Have friends who swear it did the same to theirs in another friend's SWG pool last year. His pool was suspect on being balanced but I assure you this one is...

Talked with some people this weekend who have a nice ingrown with flagstone and USED to have a SWCG....2 kids at the time. I get the part about the SWCG chewing on the flagstone, but they also said it ate up a nice grill poolside and a metal (not aluminum) back door. Any debunkers out there to...

I have a 22" 250 lb. sand filter that I've cracked open to clean before using it again on a new pool. I've cleaned it a time or two over the past 12 years. Question: How far from the bottom of the neck of the filter should the sand be? Pretty sure I've lost some over time. Ain't exactly like...

Is there a "how much salt to add to raise my salinity by" calculator in the app that I'm just too dumb to find?

With electricity costs removed from the equation: Which is better for getting the most life/running hours out of a SWG? Is it better to run the cell @50% for 12 hours or 25% for 24 hours or is it the same difference? Split run times maybe? What do YOU do! Old Moderator /Newbie SWG owner here...

Daughter is going on vacation for a week and has a plumbed in chlorinator for her 18,500 gallon pool. Hasn't been used cause I have her TFP'ing it! With the current chlorine shortage, what is your experience on how long 7 or 8 pucks in the chlorinator running 8 hours a day last at what...

Is it possible to get black algae just growing in the grout around and in between the tile line below the coping without it being in the rest of the pool plaster as well? (asking for a friend)...and NO........I don't have a plaster pool!

Pool Summer 2020 is Saved!

When a pool is being either initially or re-plastered.........is the plaster like "comes in a bucket premixed"....or is it mixed with the different things on site as it is needed? Talking plain white plaster here.

Has anyone ever painted something plastic with Krylon Fusion spray paint (for plastics) to be used under water in a swimming pool? Results? Will it peel or flake off?

Daughter bought a house with a 30 year old in ground plaster pool. Plaster has obviously been redone at some point and looks pristine. This was found lurking in the depths. Picture is a NEW representation of what I have identified as a Pentair LL105PMG Legend Platinum. Hers doesn't have a model...
