Hello everyone! I am building a new home and would like to get some advice. So my architect suggested that I built a pool equipment room inside my pool house. I do not think is a good idea as maintainence maybe more difficult and the noise from equipment may go to the pool house. Does anyone...

Today, a Jandy's technician came to my house to troubleshoot issues I had with my SWG. He tested my water and advised me that my phosphate levels were high (500PPM), which I knew, but ignored as all I have read on this forum indicates that as long as my FC is at the appropriate level phosphate...

Hello all and Happy Spring! As I prepare to open my pool, I want to know if a Nature 2 Cartridge is really needed for a SWG? I have been reading about it and notice that it sounds as an optional component (sanitizer) that can be use in regular Chlorine pools as well. It's the chlorine produced...

Hello All! This is my 2nd pool closing and I am not happy with the pump not removing all water from the pool cover. I have a little giant pump (attached is a picture), which it suppose to activate at 2 inch of water, but it looks like is activating above 2 inches of water. I would like to know...

I notice that since I started to increase my FC levels my CC has risen too. I though shocking/increase FC level would lower CC not increase it. My FC is now 14.5PPM and my CC is 1ppm. I started to raise my FC production in preparation for closing new weeks.

I read an announcement about closing the pool. It mentioned to slam 2-3 days before closing. It also stated that FC level will return to normal within a few days. I do not understand how the FC can drop to fast. What type of shock can drop the FC so fast? I ask because in my case normal FC is 6...

I was wondering the TFP method has preference for lowering the CC. Oxidizer or Shock? What is the difference? It seems to me that they both accomplish the same thing....so which one is better for a salt water pool?

So I have a question for TF-100 users. The CYA test directions say to check the mark once you cannot longer see the black dot. Based on this instructions my CYA levels are around 30-40 PPM. However, based on the stabilizer dosage I added to the water and the pool store test results my CYA...
