    salt water chlorine generator needs a boost

    The triclore tablets I was previously using. Aqua chem. Didnt appear to have the same effect on ph.. Just wondering if there was a difference between brands. Or would the heavy rain lower ph also.? Thanks.

    salt water chlorine generator needs a boost

    Since the pool stays clean running the pump 4 hours a day, running the SWG only 4 hours a day does not generate enough chlorine Its cheeper to add some chlorine with the tablets than to run the pump for 8 hours. So its better to use the floater for the tablets.

    salt water chlorine generator needs a boost

    I do have a question. I put the tablets, 1 or 2 into the skimmer. We find the floater annoying. Is there anything wrong with using tablets in the skimmer basket? Thanks.

    Update: Leslies sucks, for 3 months they never tested or even brought up phosphates. Compupool CPSC 24 SWG, the compupool tech suggested i have phosphates tested and Allbright pool store tested at 250 ppm. Also, the display of the salt reading is about 30% high so i reality, salt is very low...
