    Solar pool cover and return inlet issue

    That might be the way to go. Do you think that simply cutting an area so that the return only hits the water, not the cover, would not work? I guess I'm liking the "look" of that better (when the cover is off it looks nice) but I'm not sure the cover will not rotate itself...

    Solar pool cover and return inlet issue

    Sorry! No, it has been filled to where we want it for a couple of weeks. We want the water level low enough that our 3 & 4 year old can stand (they're always supervised, don't worry, they just prefer to play in water that they can swim in but don't always have to be swimming to enjoy). This...

    Solar pool cover and return inlet issue

    Hi everyone! I have a 42" x 14' pool that is only partially filled (due to small children). Anyhow, the water return inlet (outlet? the one that puts the water back in the pool after the filter and SWG) is above the water line by about 6" and would return the water on top of the solar cover...

    My cartridge is only lasting 2 days before I get "Low Flow" error

    Just checked, no calcium buildup at all. A very few white particles between the folds but they might just be leftover salt from the startup 3 days ago. It is not stiff at all.

    My cartridge is only lasting 2 days before I get "Low Flow" error

    Here's a pic of my pool now: we do have some build up of dust/fine dirt on the bottom as I didn't vacuum this morning, it looked fine when I removed the solar cover. We live out in the country with pretty high/steady winds on a near daily basis. Perhaps this is the issue? Here's the pic of a...

    My cartridge is only lasting 2 days before I get "Low Flow" error

    No, nothing blocking as far as I can tell. And, once it gives me this error code and I replace with a new (or even no) filter it resumes working perfectly. I'll have to check into those reusable filters though.

    My cartridge is only lasting 2 days before I get "Low Flow" error

    Newbie here, sorry in advance if this has already been answered. I tried the search function with no luck. I just set up my above ground pool (14'x42", only filled to 30 inches (due to small children), approx 2900 gallons. I have an intex cartridge filter that pumps 1000gph connected to the...

    Another newbie, SWG start up/ order to add chemicals question

    Thank you for pointing this out. I checked the bag and it is indeed sodium bisulfate. They told me that I needed muriatic acid but sold me sodium bisulfate. Can I/should I use this to lower the ph which is what they were telling me they were giving me "muriatic" acid for? I see the poolmath...

    Another newbie, SWG start up/ order to add chemicals question

    Thank you so much! I will do it in that order. When you state to add half the CYA, wait a week and then add more do you mean add 15 oz and then wait and then add the other 15 oz if needed next week? It seems like that is what you mean but I don't want to mess it up. Also, can/should I add...

    Another newbie, SWG start up/ order to add chemicals question

    Good afternoon, I have a 14'x42" above ground pool that is only filled to 30 inches (due to small children), approx 2900 gallons. I have an intex cartridge filter that pumps 1000gph connected to the intex SWG and all appears fine on the readout from the SWG (no error messages). However, it is...
