So I am thinking about buying one of the lithium battery powered pool vacuums, my pool isn't huge 15x26 and 52 inches deep, above ground oval pool. I was looking for reviews or recommendations on any specific models? Two things that concern me, the size of the waste bag seems very small so I am...

Definitely going to try that first, keep chlorine high and let the filter run 24/7 Thanks!

I think your right because the chlorine was 12 yesterday, and 10 this morning. How do I lower the ph? (I haven't slammed in a few years) Is that muriatic acid? WOW 31?

Hi! My pool has been sparkling clean all summer, I cleaned it last weekend (vacuumed and cleaned cartridge filter) the next day the pool was cloudy....I decided to use the boost feature on the salt generator, which raised the chlorine to 13. After the boost it still looked dull, better but dull...

I would like to make the purcahse online if possible but there are so many places to choose from, plus I see some reviews are bad, some people say "don't buy this voer"...amy recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Ok good to know I need to do a full water test today so I will check that! Thanks

Hi-My pool is 15 x 26 and 54 inches deep, the weather has been extremly hot and getting hotter so my water temperature is 87! Should I turn off my salt cell if it gets any warmer? i couldn't find any info in the owners manual about running it when the water gets too warm?

Hi-I have an autopilot Aquacal Digital nano it is five years old, when I opened my pool the FC was zero, I ran the digital nano at 50% (purifier) for chlorine production. 24 hours later I see that it bumped up to 67%, I know the digital nano is supposed to increase chlorine production if it...

Hi-I have a salt pool Aquacal digital nano, and I always feel lost when it comes to "calibrating" the salt, what exactly does that mean? My owners manual says the salt should be calibrated at 3000-3400, but last year was the first time I had a trouble keeping it that high (it kept dropping to...

The bags I buy are 40lbs $4.99 each from the local pool store. It's a little independent mom and pop store I found, not a big chain pool store.

Ok good to know! This is my fourth season as a pool owner and thanks to this forum I have done everything myself from opening to closing to testing to slamming. Maybe I should take the step and do this myself too.

I usually take a sample to the local pool store to see how much salt I need to buy and add. They don't charge me for the test.

Thank you!

Hi-I opened my pool and now I need to add the salt, when I add the salt I was then going to put the solar blanket on but I was wondering if I need to wait? Should I leave the blanket off for a day or two? Does it matter? Also should I turn the salt cell on immediately following the addition of...

I dont know if my post will help, I have the same system, which is also 2 years old, I had a flashing red light with a flow error message, that turned the salt machine off. I ordered a tri-sensor because when I removed mine the metal piece on the sensor was bent and really floppy. It took longer...

I added salt, a new filter cartridge, and made sure the water level was good, turned it on, still the error message! I ordered a new tri-sensor from salt pool guys, so as soon as I receive that I will install and see if that is the problem. In the mean time keeping the chlorine up with some...

Hi everyone, having an issue with my salt generator, its an autopilot digital nano, 3 years old. Three days ago I saw an error message low amps, I checked my manual troubleshooting and did what it said. I shut it off, unplugged everything plugged it back in, turned it on, no error message. Last...

the pool is 15 x 26, the SWG came with the pool it's called Pool Pilot Digital nano, I am not sure how to tell what the chlorine output is? I run it at 3200PPM if that helps? As I have mentioned I had NO algae last year, it wasn't until July this year, that I noticed algae. I would get rid of it...

The algae problem started months before the fall cover went on, so I doubt it is from the cover, I just put that on Saturday. I noticed in late July algae in the wrinkles of the liner on the pool floor. I started vacuuming it, and brushing it more since we weren't using the pool as much (due to...

The pool water is 72 degrees, it's not heated, I lifted the cover to get a water sample and I can see a spot of algae right below the return. UGH I vacuumed the whole thing two days ago. I tested the FC-15! I can even smell the chlorine when I took the cover off to get the sample. Did the test...

I test weekly, my FC has been high since I slammed it two weeks ago. I tested the water on Labor day (1 week after slamming) and it was 12

I slammed my pool two weeks ago because of reoccurring algae (rainy summer here in the NE) on Labor day I removed the stairs and vacuumed the entire pool. I put the leaf screen on because the weather turned bad and didn't have time to put the fall cover on that day. I also did a test and all my...

Stainless steel and aluminum? Hmm this looks like a possibility! Thank you! Although without a deck, I wonder if I could get it positioned on the edge of the top of the pool?

I do not have a deck, and I did a search and I see how everyone hates putting the the solar blanket on/off as much as I do! lol!

I would like to purchase a solar blanket roller for my above ground pool, does any one have recommendations? My pool is above ground oval 15 x 26. Thank you in advance!

Thanks! If the sun ever comes out I'll do the test again as you recommended!

ok slam isn't gonna happen tonight. It's too late to start that, I did hit the BOOST on the salt cell, and I will figure it out tomorrow, I just am curious because last year I had the exact opposite problem. I had to lower my CYA because it was out of control and off the charts. Does anyone know...

I have one of the test kits they told me to buy when I joined this site

So the NE has been getting too much rain, in between thunderstorms today I dragged the hubby outside to vacuum the pool, it was looking cloudy to me. The water level was above the skimmer basket and there were a lot of leaves and debris in the bottom (just vacuumed it 4 days ago). I noticed a...

So pour dry sand into jugs, then add some bleach (1 cup?) put cap on and I am ready to go?
