    Intex SWG false high salt

    This Intex salt unit has not worked well since I bought it. At first it ran fine but after a week it started beeping the Hi Salt warning. According to instructions I emptied about 20% of pool and refilled. No more high salt warning. I took the pool sample for testing and my salt was way too...

    High salt causes?

    so my CYA level was 27. How do I get it up to where I'll know how much chlorine? in the shock column it just lists a number like 10 - how does this equate to gallons of Clorox?

    High salt causes?

    Thought it was weird that Leslie's Pools said the ideal range for CYA was 60-99 ppm and Pool and Spa Depot say the ideal range is 20-50 ppm. What should it be and if I need to add some is there a generic CYA instead of the Conditioners branded product?

    Intex 1,500 gph (110-120V) model 635 replacement

    yes the chlorine had been good a week before and now registers 0 AC. The skimmer basket doesn't pull enough to suck water over the brim, we've put in three filters in three days. we keep having to bleed air out the top of the filter pump combo. With a new filter and freshly let air out and it...

    Intex 1,500 gph (110-120V) model 635 replacement

    I've got a pump that after a season doesn't pump well at all. My pool is the Intex Easy Set 18'x4' AGP. I've bought an Intex Salt filter and with that inline the filter pump is just not working well enough for the salt water pump to produce chlorine fast enough to keep the pool chlorine at an...

    High salt causes?

    The high salt warning went off after two weeks of basically doing nothing to the pool - so the conductivity thing seems plausible. Thanks. What's a good salinity test kit to get? the pool place test came back showing Salt at 1900 or low from the 2500-3500 ppm range so I added more salt not...

    High salt causes?

    We set up the pool a couple of weeks ago, added the proper amount of salt and everything went great until yesterday. The Intex set off the high salt warning. Where did more salt come from that would cause this if it'd not been high salt for weeks?? It's an EasySet pool 18'x4'. I'm emptying a...
