So far so good. Have held FC at 10 for three days. Multiple brushing and vacuums. CC has registered zero two days in a row. Overnight drop test next. Hoping to add salt and start using SWG soon. Cold snap has hit and water is 55 degrees. I don't think the SWG will operate at that...

great. understood! Process underway

Thank you for confirming. I am in process of changing out a substantial amount of the water. Temps here in Ohio are forecast for 45 F high the next seven days so it seems like a good time to do this. Then I will refill add salt and start the SLAM process to kill off any residual algae that...

Okay just so I am doing the math correct, 28,000 gallons is just a tick 3.6 million ounces. So i would add 10(3.6) or 36 ounces of 10%liquid chlorine? When I use the pool app from 0 to a goal of 4 FC it suggests 121 ounces. Where is my thinking off? Thank You

30000 gallon saltwater pool which is 10 years old. Opening this year water will not clean up from cloudy condition. I am struggling weather to drain, or partial drain. Initially opening FC 2.0 CC 4.5 WOW! ph 7.2 TA 50 CH 80 CYA Undetectable Salt 3500 Complete vacuum and sweep multiple times...

I have the traditional hayward multiflo valve on SWG pool. It is going on its 4th year with no problems. However, I notice the valve doesnt turn as nice as it once did. I always shut off the pump. I always rinse after backwashing and also make sure I always go the same direction when...

It very well may be a 2005 as I do not have any powder. It actually is sold by Leslie pools but is Taylor materials throughout: I think I need a TF100!

I am crazy happy with the results of my pool this year so far: Temp 86 Salt 3800 FC 5+( my taylor 2006 tops out at 5) PH 7.5 TA 80 CH 70 CYA 50 Borates 50 So far after adding Borates, 1 month ago, all I adjust is Ph every now an then to lower 0.2 points. My question though is my FC: I run my...

tanks....should I be concerned with the TA of 90? I am using a k2006 and it could have been 80-90 as best I can measure

First: thank you for this awesome write up. I am a trouble free pool owner for a year now with NO PROBLEMS! I am ready to make the splash...hehehehe with borates in my 29,000 SWG pool. Two questions: 1. how long do I need to keep swimmers out of the pool after the addition of Borax and MA...

Thanks Jason! I dont mind a little work if the reults are worth the effort! After all I own a pool!

I just found a Dolphine maytronics dx6 for $1107. Anyone have experience with this cleaner?

All great comments. The debris I am looking at is fine dust rather than large leaves. I am really not looking to tunnel the deck, so I guess the post now becomes HOW good of a robot do I need? Of those that have them, there seems to be a big & difference when you jump up to a unit that has a...

I have a 30,000 gallon L-salt pool that I would like to add a pool cleaner to. I did not account for this when building....my fault. So now I am trying to decide between a robotic (aquabot) and a pressure cleaner like the polaris 280 which seems to be highly recommended here. My question is...

Sp1022C eyeball plugs Any one have trouble sealing the screw in Sp1022C plugs for the water returns? Just looking to see if its just me :(

Re: Closing an in ground pool So now I really have myself messed up: I purchased the SP1022C plugs for my hayward eyeballs and could not get a airtight seal. No matter how many times I wrapped the threads with teflon on how tight I made them there were a small amount of bubbles that escaped...

Thanks, here is a pic that shows where I am...lots of landscape to do!

Re: Closing an in ground pool Thanks for the great comments: here is the plan... I will lower the level 4 inches below the skimmer face. I will then blow down the system through the drain port in the pump with my compressor. Since I built my pump station(pic attached) to include ball valves...

Re: Closing an in ground pool Thanks for the opinions, but what about the water level? I see where I could blow out the returns and plug using the aircompressor and then add a gizzmo. Has anyone used the SIMPOOL plugs and left the water level as shown? http://www.amazon.com/SIMPOOLTEC-Mouth-...

I have read all of the thread and I must say for a first time pool closer it is a little scary as the information seems to vary. So I will try and sway this toward my specific pool: I live in Northeast Ohio where the winters can be brutal. I have a 30,000 gallon SWG pool new this year. I am...

I see....I do not have the kit I thought I have: I have a Leslie DPD http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool-Ch ... 81330.html It uses the red reagent and hus I can only test fc to 10ppm...viola! So I think I need another test kit.......i assume the TF100 is the way to fly and will measure these...

I am getting ready to winterize my pool here in northeast Ohio...ugh! I have approx. 30,000 gallons of salt water that has been trouble free thus far. My question is how do I calculate the amount of bleach to reach this shock level and more omporatnt how do I measure it my FAS-DPD shows a max...

Just completed my inground pool! I was able to do the entire installation myself with the help of friends and family willing to sweat it out! 28000 gallon True L 40X32X16 Hayward 1-1/2 pump Hayward SWG Hayward 244 Sand Filter 3 Skimmers 2 bottom drains 4 returns Just confirmed my own water...
