If you think it might freeze the water in the pump. I would run the pump tonight to keep the water moving so It does not hurt the pump or pipes. Better safe the sorry.

With solar cover on for weeks now. only 68 is all I can get.

have mine set to 15 % and pump run 4 hr for a month now and its been holding Fc at 4 ppm up to 7 ppm. not perfect but its in range so have just left it alone there.

Have mine at 20 for week now and Cl is still high, about 8 now. but have so CC now Just .5 but never had any cc all summer. guess with a low setting does not get shocked back to reg clorine.

I have a solar pool cover on my pool with swg for about 2 months now and My ph is holding at 7.4 to 7.6 with TA 80 so hardly ever have to add acid to the pool now. have not had to add water to the pool as well so its all good with the cover. I do uncover pool a few hours a day to breath...

I always add my acid in the afternoon. so the wind is blowing some, as I found out the hard way doing it in a morning with no wind is a bad idea as the fumes will get you bad because the fumes surround you and By time you fig it out you will be moving to find some clean air to breath.

I would not dought it feeds alge the way these pool store try to get you to buy and add it weekly to the pool. what better way to keep up business in there stores have you mess your pool up so they can sell you more stuff to fix it.

I have the Aqua Rite swg. I was told at the pool store here that this kit was there best one so I bought it as I am new and learning and the kit the pool builder gave us at there pool school was just a cheap 12 dolar one that was way off on everything, old test agents I am guess with that...

Just wanted to ask If this shock is ok to use in a salt pool. pool store said it's made for salt pools to free up CC, is this just a waste of money or should I buy this stuff to shock once a week. The name of this shock is Salinity weekly shock. Thanks for any help just do not want to waste...
