You shouldn't use dry acid with SWG, the sulfates do not react well with the cell. Did you verify your PH level and target of PH/7.4 with Poolmath? Muriatic acid is preferred when lowering PH.
I did, no more dry acid in the future!
Is the level showing on the unit? It needs to be at least 3000 but not over 4000 according to the Intex manual online...
I haven't turned on the chlorinator yet, pool math says add 21lbs of salt, I will be adding it today.
The CYA (conditioner/stabilizer) should be put in a sock and suspended in the water, preferably in front of a return (pump should be running for any/all chemical additions)
Yes the chlorine in the water is deteriorated by any UV light (sunlight)
I have the liquid conditioner (natural chemistry 35% monosodium cyanurate monohydrate) or htn Stabilizer pods (one pod per 5,000gal)
Do you have the tests for accurate CYA and chlorine levels? (FAS-DPD chlorine test and Cyanuric Acid test)
