Hey guys, so this is my 2nd season with having a pool to SLAM and had a few questions. I reread the SLAM process and just realized something, for SWG, the recommended CYA is between 70-80. However in the SLAM process it says the most effective CYA level for an outdoor pool is around 30-40. So...

Hey folks, I have an odd issue here. I have a hayward astrolite that would trip the GFCI within a second of flipping the switch. So after much research, i changed the gasket, let it sit out for a few days to let it dry (there was a little condensation inside the fixture). It would still...

Just finished installing the SWG took me about 2 hours or so and working like a champ Pool temp 60 degrees Cell voltage 26.6 Cell current 5.0 Chlorine output 75% Instant salinity 3300 here are some pictures

I put 14 bags of solar salt this morning and it's already dissolved however I just tested my chlorine and instead of it being in the low 20's since I'm slamming the pool, and now it's showing 12.5 FC..... Is this to be expected? the water is still crystal clear and aside from me brushing and...

So I put together this and hope it helps anyone who might be a little handy, its not a huge savings from the one offered at discountsaltpools.com, I just wanted to get my feet wet with plumbing as I have ZERO experience doing anything aside from installing my pool pump. Anyhow, using the 15$...

I am getting everything ready to install my SWG, but I have a plumbing issue that I'm not certain how to tackle. Here is a picture of where I was planning to transplant my existing chlorine dispenser (c'est la vis!) Here is where i'm not sure what to do aside from cutting out the multiflow...

Hey guys, I installed my 2 speed 1hp pump last week and since I've been in the SLAM process I never tried low speed aside from testing to see if it actually worked or not. Anyhow, I'm close to the end of the SLAM process (MY POOL IS VERY VERY CLEAN! THANK YOU TFTP AND BBB!!!!!) and in...

Hey guys, Im in the middle of SLAM'ing my pool and today I noticed that micro bubbles are coming out of the return jets. I cant say if I noticed this before or not since the water is becoming more and more clean (THANK YOU BBB!) but I didnt want to discount the micro bubbles being a potential...

I apologize if this is a dumb question...but what the heck is this polaris booster pump (PB4-60) I have for? I see that it is indeed connected to 2 other returns, but I notice when I have my regular pump (super pump 1hp, soon to be replaced) on, I only see water movement from 2 jets. If I turn...

Sorry if this is a double post from my thread in the water testing results forum, but I thought it would be best to put it in a more relevant thread. I just left Home depot, I see that JasonLion really likes the solar salt from diamond, but this and the surrounding stores dont have it (i've...

Hey guys, pool newbie here, been reading up alot in pool school, anyhow... I just received my lovely T100 test kit, man its pretty impressive! Anyhow, I decided to do some tests, mind you, not all of them, just did the PH, CYA, salt and Chlorine ones. The tests came back....interesting...

I got a quote for a pentair 1hp 2 spd pump for 419 shipped, anyone deal with these guys before? They have a good A+ rating with the BBB and been around since 06. Or just spend 40$ more from amazon and not worry about shipping problems/DOA units. InyoPools.com say that if there is any issues...

Hey guys, so I started to inspect my pool today and noticed when I turn on my pool light (the light is submerged about 2 feet below the edge of the pool) will turn on for about 3-4 sec then turn off. I have to reset the breaker for it to turn back on. I'm not an electrician but I'm thinking...

Hey all, I've been doing a ton of research on different brands of swg and it's come to circupool. I'm conservative by nature so the SI-plus (promise of 7 yr warranty plus 15th hours on the cell) for 750 is looking awfully good. I've seen several members using the circupool swg and wanted to...

Hi all, I'm brand new to these boards, I discovered it while performing some research before diving into the deep end which is my future home with an in-ground pool. At this time all I know is that it is a standard chlorine pool, I'm not certain if the filter is DE or sand, but will be going...
