    PH issue

    Long story short. No power to fuel message. K-1 was burned out. Got board replaced after 2 weeks of dealing with warranty issue. Tried to keep bleach in the pool to keep algae at bay. Fast forward 3 weeks... PH showed high so I put in MA as usual. Do this once a week every week and don't have...

    I'm told I have scaling, don't see it..

    I have had my pool about a year. Its pebble sheen finish, salt water. In that time it has always been open and I have kept a sharp eye on the ph and chlorine after doing complete tests prior to winter and getting the water balanced in the 7 parameters. I had some warranty work on the pebble...

    Day 2 with SWG on and choline at Zero

    They put salt in the pool on Thursday afternoon. Its reading 2600 ppm now and I added 2 bags. However yesterday and today the chlorine read 0. Does the salt have to reach a certain saturation before the SWG works?

    D.E. or Cartridge with SWG?

    I am about to have a pool installed and originally the set up was for a chlorine pool. I had D.E. with my last pool and was pretty good at backwashing and adding D.E. on a regular basis. However I decided to go Saltwater and I'm concerned if the backwashing and loss of saltwater will be a big...

Anyhoo, I am deciding on 2 PB's and need some input. Some background on the PB is that both companies are reputable and have a good...
