I turned on my SWG about a month or so ago. At first I monitored it very closely, checking FC day, targeting 6 to 7ish or so. Measuremeants in the first couple weeks were always between 5 and 8 or so, depending on if it was a bright sunny day, or overcast & rainy all day, etc. I check at the...

I have a brand new pool, freshly filled with water yesterday. I've read that I'm supposed to keep things vacuumed and brushed really well for the first 30 days or so, but I've also read not to use any vacuum with wheels for the first 30 days. Does anybody know if the BARACUDA G3 cleaner hooked...

I'm about to have a pool built (dig start time mid-November), and the Builder is putting in a full Pentair system that's pretty robust it seems. It should be around 15,000 gallons it looks like, Freeform pool. I've new to all this pool stuff, but I've been lurking on these forums for a couple...
