I finished a slam and I'm wondering when I should kick the SWG on. FC is at 11 and falling.

smh, of course you would just measure it. I was making it way to hard and now feel kinda dumb for my post haha. Thank you.

I need help determing what filter to get for replacement in my Pentair Clean and Clear. The label on the filter housing isn't punched out and I'm clueless right now. No idea how to go about figuring it out. Thanks in advance.

Found this awesome thread :lovetfp: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/10316-Pentair-Whisperflow-seal-replacement-How-to-(w-photos)

I noticed a small drip where motor and pump meet. Could this be a bad shaft seal or a bad seal plate gasket? Motor doesn't sound any different. Pool noobert here but handy. If replacing just shaft seal, should I go ahead and replace seal plate gasket as well? Are there any other gasket I should...

Sounds great thanks guys.

For pool math I've been using the gallons that my swg is programmed for which is 12k, my math has me figuring it out to be 11651. What number should I be using? Or is that a small enough difference it doesn't matter?

haha no worries tado921, I kind of figured. :lol:

Thanks jblizzle! :lovetfp: I'm having a blast doing all this stuff, this site makes feel like a little kid with his first chemistry set! Learning a lot. I gave my neighbor the TFP business card that came in my test kit. Hopefully I convinced him enough about this site, the simplicity of the...

After about approximately a week and half of slaming, patience. and what felt like scrubbing the plaster off due to some black algae spots, I passed OCLT this morning!!. Pretty stoked about that!! :party: I recently took over the pool from the pool company and I got through the slam process...

Thanks guys, come on over!! Always plenty of cold ones to go around. I know with the help of this site I am going to be able to maintain its beauty with the abundance of knowledge from you all.:lovetfp:

Thanks doghouse. That's kinda what my conclusion is as well after doing some digging with no real answer found. It definitely helps keep the pool really clean, the house we were renting before we bought had one to. That's part of the reason why it's hard for me to pay someone to take of the...

Just got back from Home Depot with some chlorine. It says that it is 10% sodium hydrochloride but 11% total available chlorine. I don't understand the difference in numbers. I understand they are the same relatively speaking, by why different percentages?

Thanks butterfly, Good news about the rain, I thought for sure it would screw up the numbers. :party: I love this site already, I can tell I'm going to enjoy using it and have fun while maintaining a beautiful pool once I get it all figured out. Just about to leave to go grab some bleach to...

Thanks guys! This place is a wealth of pool knowledge and seems to be some helpful folks here. I was wondering if I can add bleach or not to raise my FC. Butterfly, thank you and yes I have indeed looked at that. I actually printed it out and put in with my kit :thumleft: We have been...

Closed end of last week on new place and got my kit today and started testing. Came across this site and it seems like the place to be. I do not trust pool stores or any pool guys so I am trying to tackle this on my own. Been reading pool school and other things on this amazing web site trying...
