    Absolutely amazing! Thanks to TFP. Ran a full run of tests today with the K-2006. Plugged my numbers into the circular water gram. Guess what? 0.0 SI.. Making it look easy. :cool:

    Salt levels rising

    I might have added a gallon and a quarter in the past 7 weeks. Doesn't add up. As it says in my signature, I'm using a Taylor salinity test that came with my kit

    Salt levels rising

    So say if you do a slam for a few days you could see a substantial increase in salt?

    SWG Run Time Calculator

    Re: Formula for SWG / Pump Runtime? This is great. Even with the famous "every pool is different line", it's nice to have something that gives you an idea.. A ballpark to be in.. Great job.

    Salt levels rising

    I have a SWG in my pool system. I opened the pool in late May. Tested the salt level. Was 2200. Added 160 lbs of salt, and the red light cleared on my generator and everything worked fine. Tested again at the point and it was 3400. Ok everything is great. So today I tested it with my monthly...

    Out of the lagoon and into the doghouse

    Or here's an idea... Tell your wife, "Listen DEAR, I'm buying this pool kit because I want it." And life goes on except now you know your pool vitals ��

    Pentair IC40 SWG average output/runtime

    Newbie

    Based on you CYA, I would ad at least another gallon of bleach. At your CYA, your shock level should be maintained at 24 FC. Don't worry about the alkalinity and ph right now as the tests are not reliable at high FC readings

    Possible pool leak. Losing water.

    What is the humidity like there? On days where the humidity is low, there is plenty of room in the atmosphere for water vapor to take up space. The water will evaporate at a much higher rate than days when it is extremely humid. With that being said, an inch over 5 days is about normal.

    Pentair IC40 SWG average output/runtime

    I have a Pentair IC40 SWG. My pool is 22000 gallons, cya level is 80, single speed pump runs 8 hours a day mostly during the time the sun is on the pool. Pool water temps have been 74-78. Ambient has been around 85 degrees. Water is balanced and all levels are good. Passes OCLT. No CC AND...

    Nominal SWG not making chlorine ?

    Depending on what percent output you have it set to, it will cycle off and on. That's how it regulates how much chlorine it generates. For instance, at 100% it is designed to run for 59 minutes an hour and off for one. 80% is 48 on and 12 off and so on and so forth. And it doesn't run 48 minutes...

    High side spec for FC in SWG pool

    Right but you wouldn't want to maintain it at shock level daily. There has to be a number that's unhealthy to run at daily

    High side spec for FC in SWG pool

    Thank you... But I'm no genius.. Haha.. I have no idea what I'm looking at there.. Just looking for a high end spec just like there is a low end spec.

    Clear to cloudy while swimming

    This happened to me before... Seems like the added swimmers increases the bio-load. Also things like sunblock and such will cloud the water. Looks like your FC is correct range. I ran my filter overnight for two days and it eventually cleared up. The next time I knew I was going to have high...

    High side spec for FC in SWG pool

    In looking at the reference guide in Pool School for cya/FC levels, it just shows the min required FC and the Target. What would be the max recommended FC levels for a cya of 70 and 80. In other words, how high is too high for continuous daily levels.

    FREE: Dirt Devil style auto pool vacuum

    Ok people.. For anyone who is interested I have a new Dirt Devil style auto cleaner that I am offering up for free to anyone that wants it. It came with my pool install package and doesn't really work well in an inground pool because it migrates to the deep and stays there. It's really designed...
