Thank you for your help! We live out in the sticks, so we really don't have any neighbors to help look after the pool while we're gone. I talked to my pool store and they told me to keep everything running and adjust the swg to the lowest output %. I'm just nervous about something happening...

Should I leave my swg running 24/7? My filter and pump even? This is our first season owning a pool and I'm not sure if they are supposed to run all the time. :oops: Also, I am heading out of town for about 10 days. Should I turn everything off then, or will I come back to algae? :shock...

BUMP.....Anyone???

I now have a new problem.....will it ever end???! Lots of small foamy looking bubbles and soapy film on the surface of the water in the shallow end accumulating on the steps. It kind of tastes like salt. All of my numbers are ok, except for chlorine and cya. Please help!! FC .5 TC 1.5 TA 110...

Well I just wanted to give a little update! I found my aqua rite manual and found out that the factory default setting is Tcell15. The generator was installed in january, so it hadn't been used until now. All I had to do was set the generator to my cell (Tcell9)!!! duh.. :hammer: I set it to...

Do I HAVE to use the SWG right now? Can I just dump a bunch of bleach in the pool to get my chlorine up so we can swim? The problems with my pool have been going on so long, we are just sick of it and really anticipate getting in the darn thing! How long after I put bleach in it can we swim...

I added 500 lbs. of salt thursday. The pool is roughly 23,000 gallons. Should I add the cya directly into the skimmer? a sock in the skimmer or (the container says i can distribute into the pool?) I really want to get this corrected as soon as I can. thanks!

Thank you for the response. I have only added 3-4 pounds so far. The pool store ppl have scared me into thinking I'm going to clog my pipes..so I've been adding very slowly. Should I fill a sock and put it in the skimmer? I was going to buy the liquid cya, but it was extremely expensive. Does...

Good morning! I am having more pool opening problems...I was at my pool store this morning trying to get answers on why my SWG is acting up.The swg and cell are both new, installed in january and yesterday was the first day I turned them on. This morning I have "check cell, low salt"...

thanks for the great info and help, Jason!

I've read about the metal trap on the web. I might consider buying it next year, it's kinda pricey, but if it works it's totally worth it. Sorry, I'm not much help. I'd be interested to hear anyone's reviews on it as well. We are currently trying to open our pool and we get our water from a well...

Thank you so much for the reply. We have been using Super SequaSol consistently. It seems like the iron is never going to get to 0.3! I've been taking our water to our pool store every week. We have had fluctuations with the iron level. Previously our iron was at .2, then back up to .75. Could...

Good morning all. I am a newbie here, and a newbie to swimming pool care. We purchased a home with a pool. We have been trying to open the pool for a month now, but we live out in the sticks and have well water with high amounts of iron. When we filled the pool, our iron level was 6. Yes, 6...
