    Problem using Intex SWG

    Problem using Intex SWG

    Guess I'll be putting in the Muratic acid. The calculator said put in 3 gallons. Guess I'll start with 1 gallon, 1 pt. at a time. Then I'll put in the Stabilizer. Thanks for the advice.

    Problem using Intex SWG

    Will do. When doing the CYA test, does the dot compete dissappear? I still could barely see it. If the readings are correct, how do I fix it? Also should I take off the solar blanket and test again after a day or so?

    Soft Sided Pool Deck

    I have a Splash 13X21 Super Pool. At one end I have a deck that is 12ft. long. I am looking for something to bridge the top of the pool to the deck, for a more finished look. I know the hard sided pools have coping that goes over the top. It would be nice if I could find something shaped like a...

    Problem using Intex SWG

    The test kit has been shipped. As soon as I get the numbers I will post them. I am running my 2010 model for 7 hrs. The water looks great. The strip testers say the Clorine is on the low side. I also have a cheap kit that is hard to determine the color. But it looks like the Clorine is ok...

    Problem using Intex SWG

    Thanks for your help. Trying to get all of the correct chemical readings is driving me nuts. I just can't seem to get it right. But the pool looks great. I am going to order a TF100 tonight. I need the right tools. This is my first pool so I'm a little lost. I have been reading the Pool School...

    Sorry didn't mean to hijack the tread. Do both of these testers work for swg pools?

    Problem using Intex SWG

    The water appears real clear. I did add stabilizer. Guess I need to order a test kit. Dang those are expensive. But I'm shure they are better than the test strips.

    Problem using Intex SWG

    Well, I thought I was doing good and bought the 2010 model intex. Should I remove the copper ionizer? I think I could cap the housing. I really havn't figured out how to check the chemical levels with the strips. I always get a high ph and low clorine. I had the same problem before I got the...
