Hello TFP Members! I am questioning everything about our pool and how it is maintained. I will try and make this post concise so that answers and recommendations can be easily offered. I have already done much reading here and have concluded that most of what I have been doing in maintaining...

Hi there, I have experience with maintaining a simple chlorine pool with a single speed pump, single cartridge filter and cholorine tablet dispenser for a pool that's screened in. So low maintenance. Now we have a salt water pool, with pentair variable speed pump, pentair controler panel...

Hi all, we are about 10 months into our 1st pool. I am trying to figure out which salt level result to trust more. Table below shows results from the TFT salt test (chromium/silver nitrate) and the SWG reading (pentair intellichlor-40) using the reading taken at same time as water sample for...

Hi, I have a SWG (Autopilot DIG 220), single speed water pump and Jandy Ti5000 Air source heat pump. The timer in the SWG turns on/off the pump as per wiring in manual. The heater turns on/off the water pump when heat is needed. All three can be on together, two (SWG and water pump), two (water...

Hi all, Pool recently installed (deck currently being built). No pool school yet (although I’ve owned a pool before) so pool company has been managing water once a week. Today they came round and I noticed after they had left, that they had removed the chlorine tablets from the floater and had...

I have an older set of equipment (1990s I believe). Single speed Hayward pump, gas heater, DE filter, Jandy automation. It all works, so not trying to just spend money for no reason. But know I’ll move to new equipment once something breaks (VS pump, etc). What’s the best path to add in...

Hi, everyone. I’m dealing with a small outbreak of algae. This is my first experience with it, so I have a couple of questions. We accidentally left the chlorine generator off on our SWG and, with weather too cool to swim, I didn’t pay much attention to the pool. That was a mistake...

Hi! I'm tired of having too high CYA from using pucks and all the maintenance from using liquid chlorine and want to make the switch to SWG. My husband is fairly handy so I think we can install the equipment ourselves. Which would you recommend for a 30,000 (20x40) gallon pool? It doesn't...

I bought a house several months ago that had an existing Pentair IC60 system with a broken Flow Switch. The switch's metal tang with the contact magnet was broken off/missing. I've replaced the Flow Switch six times with those from various manufacturers, including Pentair, only to have them...

I am considering wiring my CircuPool RJ 60 to my Jandy VS pump to come on when the pump comes on. Per the Jandy manual, it looks like I could use one of the two auxiliary relays. Does this wiring schematic seem doable? The most difficult thing would be adding the GFCI breaker to my pool pad...

Hi TFP Looking at building a new pool and this time around highly considering a SWG. Previous pool was built 2 years ago and was done with an inline chlorinator. That solution has worked fine but the CYA did get high which led to some water replacement. Not terrible over the course of 2 years...

My pump recently died and it was replaced with a Pentair VST pump. Previously everything was connected to a mechanical timer that turned everything on/off. The installer said since the new pump has its own timer I didn't need to use the mechanical timer anymore and he removed the on/off...

I'm new to pool maintenance, and we recently set up our 16x32 foot pool with a SWG. I've heard of some people that were able to forego using CYA with an SWG if they kept a pool covered on a regular basis. I've tried this method - I do run the SWG a bit more than would be necessary if adding CYA...

I am converting our pool to an SWG. After much time on this forum and its recommendations and reviews, I have narrowed it down to CircuPool. I have a 17-18k gallon pool south facing in the Central Florida sun/heat. My choices are between the CircuPool RJ-45 PLUS and the RJ-60 PLUS. Is the RJ-60...

Been having some issues trying to get my pool open. Had been using an old pack of test strips and realised they were very out of date resulting in I think me adding too much stabiliser to the pool, so ordered some more tests (different brand), replaced half the water and this test contains a...

Hi there. I have a Jandy Aquapure system with a 1400 cell. Recently, my sensor start reading erratic values. I tested water manually with a TSD tester and salt test strips and read a level of 3.1. The jandy said 4.2 so i did the calibration procedure(held salinity button for 15 seconds) and...

Why do I have shrimp in my salt water pool? They are very, very tiny, but those are definitely shrimp. The second image shows them in relation to the bottom of a small beach bucket so you can see how small they are, maybe 1/2 cm. FC 6.5 pH 7.4 TA 80 CH 300 CYA 50

We are looking at making the switch to SWG at our pools, starting with our 60,000 gallon pool in Michigan. It's a brand new pool as of 2020, though I regret that I wasn't more involved as the pool company built it out with a Jandy single speed pump (that they didn't even hook up to the...

We have a new 20,000 gallon SWG Gunite Pool filled on 5/6 and the pump running continuously since then, mostly at low speed (1500-1700 rpm) when not in use or while cleaning. 18 bags (@ 40 lbs each) of salt was added on 5/27 which works out to about 3400 ppm. The Intellichlor IC40 label says the...

Hello I have a Jandy AquaPure with IAquaLink. Three days ago I started getting an error message reading on my interface app showing water temp SHORT and my salt water generator stopped producing chlorine. I have chlorine production set to 75% in the app but it reads 00% on the panel. By all...

Hi all! We recently installed a SWG system for our pool, and we just opened the pool today. I know we need to balance everything first and then add some liquid chlorine before we add the salt and get the SWG going. At opening these were my levels: FC- 0 PH- 6.8 TA- 40 CYA- 30 I have sodium...

Hi! Anyone have an Intex Krystal Clear SWG? Are you following the manufacturer CYA levels or pool school? Why would there be a difference in recommendations between the two?

Hey Everyone, *Pics at bottom for reference* Looking to eliminate having to constantly add PH and chlorine… because well, I’m lazy and tired of the weekly chemical additions 🙃 Ultimately I’d like to automate and tie in my Hayward VS pump, a SWG, and a PH control system. I have an older style...

Hello everyone, I am going to be purchasing a new SWG this season and am trying to plan how I am going to wire this thing up. I currently have a single speed pool pump(120v) running off a timer. I understand that the preferred way to wire the SWG is to have a 2nd wiring run off the timer to...

I've read through quite a few posts posts on this topic, but still cannot definitively determine what is or isn't in my EasyTouch box. I would like to convert my pool to salt by installing an IC60. I wasn't sure that I wanted salt water when the pool was under construction, but I instructed the...

Hi there! Sorry in advance for the long post. I've been deep in Pool School for a couple of weeks and am finally starting the balancing process today. We recently purchased a home with a salt water pool; the previous owner walked us through his care routine when we got the keys in Feb. He told...

Hi, everyone. Thanks in advance for your advice. We just had our 22k gallon pool rebuilt with aluminum coping and we're in the process of filling it back up with water. I've been using a Hayward SWG since we bought the house in 2012. As of last summer I was on my third generator. Also last...

Hi, I decided to switch to the Salt Chlorine Generator system, based on my search here I realized CircuPool is very famous especially the RJ model because of the warranty and easy installation( I plan to install it myself) Right now the EDGE-40 is $1199 which is $300 cheaper than RJ45, Is there...

Hey all, First post here! My spa specs are below: Hotsprings Flair 335 gallons FC - 15 CC - 0 TA - 70 CH - 200 CYA - 100 pH - 7.5 salt - 1700 ppm Temp - 99° So here is the scenario. I've used the TF pro kit for my SWG pool for a while and it works great. We just got the spa 2 months ago...

Hi fellow Intex SWG owners! Anytime I try to set it up, I get the 93/Power Saving code OR it's turned on and generating, so the buttons don't do anything. Help!
