We seen this product at Walmart. Is it good or is there better options? We looked in the regular bleach isle, we've noticed, some bleaches do not show actual ingredients on the bottles. Even the Clorox brand doesn't have ingredients on some bottles. Are they trying to hide the information for...

Been running SWG for at least 3 years now. Never have changed the filter tho. Backwash regularly. Time to change the sand. My question is, what is the best type of media? Is sand still the industry standard? I see online, some other eco friendly media types that can be used. If we stay with...

So its spring, time to pull the pool cover off and get things started. In the fall we drained our guinite sw pool to below the jets and covered with pool cover. Same as previous 5 years. Each previous year we pulled the tarp off and water level was where we left it. Well, today, pulled the tarp...

Is there anything I can do to lower my ph and chlorine? We are getting moderate sun here. I think I'm reading to just give it time. Is it safe to swim like it is?

I've searched and searched. Online and in the book. I can't seem to figure out what these do exactly. I vaguely remember reading about them when I got it two years ago. Can anyone tell me the point of sliding them out when in operation? I think something about scrubbing walls?

When we bought this place 4 years ago, it came with various junk poles to use with pool tools. There wasn't one real good one. I've since bought two different ones. One promised to be the great one. Both are now broken. The plastic that is used to tighten the pole after adjustment just doesn't...

So, we have the Circupool SI45. My question is mainly about design. I've seen other swgs, the housings are clear and it's easy to see if they are operating. This housing is solid white and I can't tell if it's working or not. How are we supposed to evaluate it's operation? We took it off to look...

So, had repair company come out to look, just for that we owe $125.00, have home warranty, they will cover $500.00 of the expenses, the quote for repair is $800.00 and now they've decided to add 3% to the bill for credit card use. Any suggestions? We've been told the motor and pump are older and...

Hi, Just offering up my lab results for critique: FC=.5 CC=.5 TC= 1 CYA=20 Salt=3200 PH=7.8 I know I need to raise my CYA and my Chlorine, feel free to let me know how. Thanks:D

I have a question. I've read that I should also watch the cell to see if it is bubbling off chlorine. Well this cell cannot be seen while operating because it is not see thru. What do I do? I am going to take it apart and check to see that it doesnt have any build up on it. Ill post what I find...

SWG 25,000 gallons F.C. = 1.5 CC-=0 TA=80 PH=7.5 CYA=0 Salt=3800 Hopefully I am not forgetting anything. We think we need to add chlorine to increase CYA and FC. Pool calculator says 2 to 3 96 ounce jugs. (This is if I am using the pool calculator correctly)

Hi, I have to let you all know, we have been running this new SWG and our pool has been so much better this season than last season. Thanks for all your help here in the past. J

Hi, I have to let you all know, we got the new pool cleaner and are really happy with it. It is so easy to use and our pool looks great. J:p

We need this pool cleaner. Since switching the SWG and getting my lab work right,our water is real clear. Sediment at the bottom can be seen, the deep end is 12 foot,hard to reach to scrub. This is a lot of cash for this cleaner. I've been reading all the reviews on this forum about pool...

Hi, I just did my testing. Here are my values. Help is appreciated. CH=225 FC=.5 CC=.5 TC=1 TA=70 CYA=0 Borate=15 Salt=3600 PH=7.5 The PH was way high, we have just got it to acceptable level, now whats next? I think all the chlorine levels are low. Remember, we are running the salt system...

I ordered the TF-100 test kit, It arrived this week. Here are my values. CH=325 FC=1 CC=1 TC=2 TA=100 CYA=0 Borate=0 Salt=3600 PH=8 I have to tell you, we are having serious problems keeping prime with this pump. We have been checking a lot of different things and are about to buy new pump...

I know I've read somewhere, which test kit you all seem to suggest, but I can't find it. Please advise. Thanks :confused:

Hi, We are working on the pool. Getting ready to install the CircuPool SI 45 Plus. I have noticed CircuPool requires salt to be 99% pure. I've been looking at salt where ever I am shopping this weekend. Sam's has Morton salt, it says it is for swimming pools with salt water systems($5.76/40 lb...

Hi, I am kinda new to this forum, even tho I did post some things last summer. We had a terrible summer,spent thousands on chemical, had terrible algae blooms. It was a bad time. Really only got to swim about half the season. We had a pecan tree hanging over the pool, we just bought the house...

Been fighting this cloud. We are new to pools. We just bought this house 3 months ago and have been fighting with the pool ever since. We've spent about $1500.00 on chemicals, following pool store instructions. I'm now desperate to stop the bleeding. i'm staying on top of it. I'm watching my...
