    Vertical bars replacement

    I have Summer Escape pool, either 15 or 16 ft. Bought it at $125 and been using it as SWG pool. This year would be 4 years but most of vertical bars are rusted at the bottom. Searched on ebay sell around $10 - $12/each/used. There are total 15 bars. The cost would be more than the pool...

    CYA testing question

    I opened the pool two weeks ago. The water was so cloudy/bit green so I shocked it (it is all good now). At the time, I only tested/added salt and bleach to the shock level. I didn't add any CYA. I just assumed it at the good level when I closed the pool in the last winter. I only...

    Is it normal?

    Darn, I am always rinse with the cap closed. In fact, it sounds louder than I got it last year. If I recall, the Index manual didn't say anything about this So, can I just install the hose on backwashing port and leave it there for good?

    Is it normal?

    I meant the outlet where I remove the cap, connect the hose for backwashing. When I have done, I remove the hose, close the cap for rinse. Do you do the rinse while the hose connected?

    Is it normal?

    I am at work right now, but after I was reading this, I think I know why. It was my DUMB mistake. The process is "filter - backwashing - rinse" and I have been doing that since I have the pool last year. After came back from 2 weeks vacation (I set timer but the pool was still filthy because...

    Is it normal?

    My sand filter is flowing weak lately. So, I decided to give it a clean. When I opened the top part of the sand container, I had found that whole bunch of dirty stuff inside the lid. I cleaned it. Then I saw the water inside the tank is so dirty, like dark brown. There is about half of inch...

    SWG keeps saying low salt

    Just came back from vacation and saw SWG said low salt. Measured and the salt level is 3000 ppm. Table says add 10 lb of salt to get to 3300 ppm, but I added only 4 lbs (that's all left, getting more tomorrow). Based on table, 4 lbs makes level up to 3100 ppm. Even that the SWG still saying...

    Salt level 3200 ppm, still low?

    It was the dirty cell. Decided to disassemble the cell. The scaling.....a lot of them sticking on the titanium electrode. Cleaned it. Everything is fine now. Whew.

    Salt level 3200 ppm, still low?

    I never cleaned the cell before. It was 4 months old. Mine requires 2500 - 3500. The optimal level is 3000. I used Taylor kit K1776

    Salt level 3200 ppm, still low?

    Last few days, SWCG didn't make enough clhorine, I had to add chlorine every day. Didn't know why. Never crossed the thought of low salt level. Until yesterday, the SWCG appeared the code 91 (low salt level). Aha, dumb me. This afternoon, I added about 15 lb of salt. Let the sand filter...

    OCLT: FC is higher in the morning.

    I know it's weird. The first time could be understandable because the pump was running, adding chlorine so there was may be the errors. But for second time, I turned off the pump and not adding chlorine since yesterday long before I took the measure. Anyway, I would keep my eyes on this...

    OCLT: FC is higher in the morning.

    SWG is off at all time of the process, and no pucks, nothing in it. Edit: I want to add something. I have the kit K-2006 but the R-0871 was out after 2 days, so I ordered the reagent. The result from the new R-871. That was why I asked may be because of bad reagent?

    OCLT: FC is higher in the morning.

    After shocking process about a week, I did perform OCLT yesterday and today. And the result is confusing. Yesterday result: FC = 27 (the night before) FC = 29 (in the morning) I was confused so I did another one just this morning. FC = 22.5 (last night) FC = 25 (morning) What is...

    My SWCG doesn't generate chlorine

    Question for experts: The kit above required to 5 drops to do the chlorine test. And the ppm is from 0.5 - 5. Can I use only 1 drop and multiply for 5 to get the FC? The reason I do that is I want to maintain the FC at 25 - 26 ppm for shocking. Doesn't have to be exact. I just tried at 1...
