Hi, Ken,

I see significant progress in your pics. I predict a large smile on your face in the near future. Stay the course.....you understand the process and have headed for home plate.

I really think you know this but as a reminder, you must not lower your chlorine now.

Keep adding more holding it right at that 14-20 level until your pool is sparkling clear.

Once it is as clear as you think it can be, post another set of numbers and we'll go from there.

PS........Nice Work! :lol:

Pool is looking good, I will post complete numbers ASAP, but I have a question about a SWG. I picked up a barely used Resilience SWG, and I am planning the install, but it is for 110V, and my pump is 220V. Is it possible to use it with my pump, or should I sell it and buy a 220V system? I have a timer, and would it to work off of it, along with the pump?

Thanks,
ken

As long as the breaker can handle the increased amp load of the 110v SWG (about 6 amps??) you probably won't have any issues. Is the pump on a GFCI breaker or just standard?

It is on a standard 220 breaker.

And some pictures. The kids have been loving it! Thanks for all the help. The TF100 Test kit made all the difference! Next project: Install Saltwater system.
