Looking to purchase a robotic vacuum cleaner and would like recommendations on the types to consider for our pool. We have a 32k pool with vinyl liner with the deep end going to 9 ft from the shallow end of 4 ft. We have tried a two different cleaners in the past and they get stuck on the bottom...

Is solar salt ok vs. water softener salt?

Where are the best priced places to buy pool salt? I've been using Morton Pure and Natural. It was $4.99/bag last year but is $5.98/bag this year.

Thank u

Thank you for the response. The circupool control that we have got water it in it last year and shorted the unit. We had to buy a new one so we're looking to enclose it.

To clarify I'm looking for advice on the controller location, not the actual cell.

Where is a good location to mount the SWG controller so it's out of the sun? Also is there an enclosure recommendation to put it in. Would love to see your ideas.

We have a Circupool SJ series chlorine generator and the cell is no longer bubbling when running. The power went out and we reset the control and it continues running fine. Except the cell isn’t bubbling. Can someone tell me if it’s generating chlorine. Does it have to bubble? We tested the...

We have a 35k gallon pool with vinyl liner and are wanting to buy a robotic pool cleaner. We have a sand filter. The various kinds available are overwhelming and would love advice on which to purchase. The pool goes from 4 ft to 8 ft with a gradual drop.

Opened the pool 1 week ago and have been SLAMing. Water seems balanced. Using liquid chlorine to slam. Water is still cloudy and not sure if I am being impatient or if there is something else I should do. Please advise. FC 16 CC 0 PH 7.1 Alk 60 CYA 20 Temp 62

Thank you

We just finished the SLAM process and want to convert to a SWG. The generator is installed and ready. CYA is 30 and all other numbers are perfect. Do I need to raise cya to 70 and add salt at the same time. I’m worried about having cya so high and just don’t want to get stuck with a high...

Tested after 15 min and it held at 13. So there must be some CYA because I thought it had 0 so Slam is at 10 with our numbers.

Put in 4 gallons of chlorine 2 hours ago bringing FC to 10. Test results 2 hrs later are FC 1 CC 1 TA 90 PH 7.1 So do I add CYA now and start slam? Sun is down.

That's what I'm not sure about. Won't any chlorine added just be used up without CYA in there to hold it?

Oh we have a mesh cover.

FC & CC = 0 CYA=0 TA=40 CH 70 TEMP 55

I've read on the forum that when opening a pool and FC is 0 and CYA is 0 that you should wait to add CYA until the FC is holding. Please explain why it's necessary to wait to add CYA. I'm just trying to understand.

Thank u!

Looking to purchase our first robotic vacuum and would like recommendations on the types to consider for our pool. We have a 32k pool with vinyl liner. Many wrinkles in the pool. Some up to 1/2" tall and pointy. Mostly concerned about the robot getting stuck on a wrinkle or with the robot...

We are having problems with our pool having a yellowish brown film around certain areas of the pool and puddling dust on the pool floor. We live in Illinois and are around wheat and corn fields and many pine and oaks trees too. At first I thought it was metals in the water because we fill from a...

After discovering a problem with our sand filter leaking we replaced it with a new sand filter. We are starting all over again with with chemicals at this point and I could use some help with the order of how to work on each of these. I plan to SLAM after adjusting PH if that's correct. I would...

Yes we did but the problem is that the o-ring doesn't have a flat even surface to sit on top of. The flange is uneven..:seems defective. Is there some sort of self forming gasket? The oring won't seal bc there's a gap.
