My Aqualogic firmware is 2.65, so I should be good!

Based on that would you recommend that pump? I was just so confused on googling that SP3200DR that shows it’s a retrofit kit but the assembly looks like it’s original from the pictures.

The HP is good right? and it had the Aqualogic integration and it should be way better than my 1HP super pump that I’ve been struggling with.

I was just hesitant because I didn’t see SP3200VSP written on it from the pictures.

Honestly - it looks a bit like dead algae to me.

Perform an OCLT - Perform the Overnight FC Loss Test (OCLT)

If you pass, great. IF you fail - SLAM - SLAM - Shock Level and Maintain

And I do not have a sand filter just to be clear. I run glass media.

Yes I have a salt water generator....Need to add about 90 lbs of salt tonight as well.

I would not turn on the SWCG right now, but go ahead and purchase salt for addition later.
Address the cloudiness with liquid chlorine as there appears to be some lingering algae.
bring up the FC level to SLAM level
Your CYA was virtually zero based on test in your Pool Math log. So you should bring up CYA to 30 to do a SLAM as that will bind some of the chlorine to minimize lost to UV.
Lower pH to about 7.2
So add stabilizer to get 30ppm CYA
Add LC to get to SLAM level of 12ppm FC.

If you wish to cover, still run the pump a bit each day and generate 1 ppm FC give or take.

Should only really need to clean out the skimmer basket if you leave it run normally. Raise the SWCG generation by 1 ppm FC per day if you go that way.

Compare dimensions to your filter.

What Are My Ideal Pool Levels?

Use our tool to find ideal chemical levels for any swimming pool. Check TFP recommended levels on pH, free chlorine, cyanuric acid, and more.

www.troublefreepool.com

In your climate, you will use 3-5 ppm FC per day. So on average about 64 oz (1/2 gallon) of 10% liquid chlorine per day during swim season.

SWCG sounds ideal and something we'll consider down the line. If we ditch the Nature2 Fusion inground all together now (remove tablets and mineral cartridge) and move to liquid chlorine (which is manageable for us), do my chemistry numbers need to be in a certain range first and/or do I need to test for minerals at any point? I have the Pool Math app installed and ready to go. How much chlorine can I expect to use daily/weekly?

How old is the light? The greenish tint is only around the edge of the lens. Is it faded or yellowed from UV damage?

I have attached pictures of my schedules and set up from the app. As far as the intake and return valves go, there isn’t a spot for them on this circuit board.

I’ve also attached a picture of the valve assignment choices. Right now, it’s set to activate on spa mode. That’s the most common thing I need if I can only have them one do one thing right now.

My old circuit board had one relay for filter pump, this one has one for pool pump one for spa pump. It also had four valve sockets, intake, return, A, B.

I do have plenty of Aux positions left. That may be my best option

As far as the spillway function, the pump RPM increases with the valves, do not move and I suspect because they only have a single function right now.

I think that that is just the drive number.

looking at your logs in early May your CL about a 3.0 with your Cya level thats just to low , so I agreeing with the geek on the OCLT.
So I'm talking out of school here because I do not have a SWG and I am not a TFP guide, but from all the past post I've viewed you need to be prepared with jugs of chlorine each coming season to supplement the SWG when the water temperatures impede your SWG from generating CL then when your at your range dial in the SWG.
