60 CYA is fine for a TX pool, but FC needs to be as per chart above, miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinimum 5. It's early in the season now so a bit lower CYA is also fine. I just converted to SWG, but when using liquid chlorine, I ran my CYA at 70 last summer because i get zero shade and I was...

Ok so the Home Depot UV lights aren’t a good idea. Got it. ;) Yea FC is high. I plan on keeping it around nine-ish. Just trying to dial in the SWG percentage after install.

Sig updated. Please cancel public flogging. I do not wish to be octagonal membership card holder. If I am kicked out of club, I swear I'll go to Leslie's right now, get a free water test, buy floc and phosphate reducer, and then I'll add pH up and pH down at the same time ;) ;) ;) Can we get...

Oh boy!! Forgot to update sig!!! Thx for reminder! I swear I’m no longer a jug lugger!!!

I can’t seem to find the Hayward OmniLogic literature for eclipse settings. I am guessing that it will slowly ramp down my SWG percentage as the eclipse progresses and then slowly ramp it back up as the eclipse is ending. I am panicking because I’m going to end up with more FC if my pool...

I find that putting it in front of the return spins it 437,000,000 times and it gets twisted up massively. So I dangle the cya in front of the spa spillover for a nice, relaxing, laminar flow over the pantyhose!

Two years ago I bought 50lbs of tabs and fired pool boy. Two days later I discovered TFP. So I have a stash of tabs I will never use, except when I need to bump my cya up. I use a floater and make sure I’m ok with the pH and salt effects of the tabs before adding them. So yep, now that you know...

Ok awesome sounds like I don’t need to buy more relays or a smart relay or whatever. Thx!!

Hmm so let me ask… I’ll be converting my prologic to Omnipl, and adding SWCG hopefully this weekend. The current wiring you see here is for a 2 speed pump(very recently replaced with a variable speed), heater, blower, pool light, spa light, and two valve actuators. My main question is will the...

Did someone dump a ton of muriatic in the pool???

Yep that’s what I was asking about. Mainly looking for any down side to doing this that I didn’t think about. But anything has got to be better than the current process.

Exactly. Any recommendations or just joking? :)

Funny you should mention…

Wow y’all. Great feedback. I have a PL PS 8 with clunky aqua link. OmniPL arrives tomorrow so will hopefully upgrade this weekend along with adding SWG, FINALLY!!

Hi all - my pool strangely does not have an overflow port. This is super annoying because hopefully I just happen to be home when we get 3" of rain in 1 day in Houston, and...I have to go out in the rain, turn the spigot on, set a timer on my iphone so I don't forget about it, then go back out...

Visited a relative in FL. Jandy Intellicenter. We could not figure out why the pump was coming on when the filter pump program was outside of its programmed run hours. Had a seemingly unrelated issue that the pool light was not working. I eventually discovered that: -the pool light, which we...

If you have any type of water restriction, like, if you are calling the county ahead of time…..definitely do the diluted CYa test first and foremost. You only wanna drain X% and refill once. Knowing your CYA as accurately as possible will set you up for a once and done partial drain/refill...

How was the pool boy chlorinating the pool? 3" Trichlor pucks? How are you chlorinating (or planning to chlorinate) your pool? Do you have a Salt Water Chlorine Generator (SWG)? If not, you'll need to use liquid chlorine. Best deal for that is Pinch-A-Penny. There's one at the corner of W...

I did AA treatment on my pool yesterday and opted to completely drain and refill so that I don't have to constantly add sequestrant.

Is there any way you can purchase a Taylor K-1766 salt test kit? The salt story here does not seem to make sense to me. Taylor K-1766

Starting AA Tuesday. I bought 3lbs for my 18,000 gal pool from one of the websites listed in the AA Further Reading article. It took several days to arrive. Now starting to get nervous that I may not have enough if the stains are a bit stubborn. I can get the below overnight from Amazon. This...

@dtarantino do you have before and after pics? How many pounds of ascorbic acid did you use? Any tips? I am doing AA treatment on Tuesday and will also to full drain and replacement of water.

If you have a sprinkler system and an extra zone available…

Well it’s working with blue and white. Configured prologic to 1 speed pump.

I get 240V between white and blue regardless of pump speed. So I am thinking that if I use those wires to supply 240V, the pump will not know anything about the black wire that it's not connected to.
