I just got the Saltron Mini. My hubby asked if we could put the unit in the filter compartment? I wasn't sure...have you had any issues with it being in the filter compartment?

I just got the Saltron Mini for my hot tub. Going to install it today. I'm hoping that it works as well as my Intex SWG has for my pool :)

First I'd like to thank everyone here who has helped me keep my pool sparkling clean for for 3 yrs now :) After 6 years of Intex pools my hubby has finally agreed to let me upgrade...woohoo! :party: I think this record heat might also have something to do with it :wink: I already have my...

I agree with big_kid. My hubby didn't tape all the joints and we get debris gathered in the lines. But, it is very easy to vacuum up.

Pool looks great! Someday I hope to have a pool like this :)

Okay, I did the overnight test last night. Didn't loss any FC. But, the water is still not clear. What do I do now? What level should I keep the FC at? It was 11.5 this morning. And when should I add more CYA? I've been running my filter 24/7 for 8 days now. It has turned colder again...

No, it's not on yet.

Got my refills today. New numbers- FC- 13.5 CC- 0 CYA- 32 Alk- 110 CH- 240 pH- 7.5 When should I add salt and turn on the SWG? Gonna do the OCLT tonight.

Yes, I ordered from Dave, think it should be here tomorrow. I'm still making progress, today I can actually see the checkered pattern on the bottom of the pool now. It's not crystal clear yet...but, it's getting there :)

I went to do my last test of the evening. And I ran out :( I ordered more earlier this evening, not sure how long it will take to get here? So what should I do now?

Okay thanks. I will take the puck out tonight and see how much I lose.

Okay, I've been working on shocking my pool since Thursday. Last night my FC was 22.5 after sun down. This morning it was 20.5. I did put a 3" puck(hth dual action chlorinating)in the skimmer. Took it out of the skimmer and put it in a floater around 3:30 today. Hoping it will slowing help...

Apparently I have a air leak at some point, I haven't found it yet. When I unhook the skimmer the bubbles/foam go away. I believe I have killed all the algae, it held a high shock level over night(thursday). This morning FC-8. At what point should I turn on the SWG? It's still cloudy white...

Re: Pea Soup Color Pool-UPDATE-Foam? It smells and looks like huge over chlorinated hot tub...lol! It held around 19 FC over night. We did have a rain storm last night. I had to leave all morning and came home at noon to this. It's a thin foamy/bubbly layer. The skimmer had an actual...

Progress :) Around 11am & 6pm.

Okay, thanks Bama :)

Okay I've got the vac running now. Checking it every few minutes to make sure nothing is clogged. Should I started adding bleach now? And do I add 249 oz every time I add more?

This is my 4th year with my Intex pool, but, it's the first year that I've left it up all winter. It was only covered with the solar cover all winter. There are leaves in the bottom still. I can't see them to get them yet. I'm in SW Iowa and like everyone else I was getting antsy to open...

Nice!!! Lovely yard too!

Awesome!

Mark, how did the thru the wall skimmer work for you?

We still have a couple of inches in SW Iowa. It had all melted away with a warm snap we had...I had to keep reminding myself...it's only mid Feb...winter is not over yet :( And then another snow storm over last weekend. I come here and look at everyones awesome pools...and drool :)

:wave: It's cold here, we are in a snow storm right now... It's supposed to be -8 tonight and blizzard conditions in the morning.... Sitting here trying to decide on what pool to buy this spring and drooling over the beautiful pools on here!

Wow, that looks great!

WOW! Those are AWESOME!!!!

looking good!

Looks wonderful!

I agree with Nikki! I just finished pumping out mine and towel drying it. I've got to get it down today...it's supposed to rain tonight. I've heard that using talc powder helps make sure to get all the missed moisture. I'm gonna try it... Be sure you get ALL the water out of your...

I have a relatively small space for my new pool. Unless I can convince my hubby to move a shed...and I don't think that is going to happen :( This summer we had a 16ft pool. Next spring I want either an 18ft round or 12x18 oval. (I want a 12x24, but, just not enough room)! Guess I should...

Hi and welcome. Congrats on retiring and revisiting old missed hobbies :) I was in photography biz for a while. The bad economy forced me to close my studio :( Now I just do shoots for friends and family. I'm digital...but, I did work in the dark room in high school...that's where I got the...
