Are there any good commercial SWG systems around? An input would be much appreciated.

Oh right, now i see. Cal Hypo feeders seem rather expensive.

Can anyone tell me why i cant put cal hypo briquettes/tabs into a chlorinator that is meant for TCCA? I seem to find that Cal Hypo feeders sell for more. Is this to do with scaling or are there other issues involved?

QUick Questions on PAC Merged topics to maintain history. Butterfly Does anyone know if overdosing with PAC will cause the water to cloud? - I have been able to maintain crystal clear water with PAC for the past couple of weeks, with the exception of last week when i had folks coming over i...

To give you an update, I have had alot better results using PAC than Alumn so if any of you were considering I strongly recommend sticking with PAC.

What does mangesium stains look like?

My friend doesnt have time available to spend monitoring and adjusting Cl lvls, so i thought it might be better if he just threw in MPS and add chlorine straight after to avoid the hassle. Hopefully that will allow for a Cl residual within the 1 -3ppm range while the MPS takes effect in...

Jason, Does Epsom salt actually add chlorine to the pool, i noticed that my friend is only adding Epsom? Doesnt adding any salt such as NaCl help in the feel of the water. Is there any difference adding Epsom over sodium chloride? THanks

PAC shouldnt discolour my water right? And is there any dosing guide, how muchs hould i be using per 10,000 gallons of water?

Wanted to know if PAC is actually suitable for pools, seems very different from Alum iv used before. The solution that comes out PAC mixture is coffee colour and im having doubts if this is suitable..... DE of course would be better however it is not availble were i live.

Iv just been told of a floc which works better than Alumn known as PAC. Got to see the contents looked something like curry powder and brown slurry when mixed with water.... is this safe to use in pools and how does it compare to aluminum sulfate, i am being told its a better product. Can anyone...

The TA reading iv posted wasnt a typo, i havn't experienced couldy water problems in the past with low TA. Would this be the problem? I usually backwash when i see a 5 psi differential from the clean startup pressure and nothing stirs up when i brush the pool.. any advice would be great. Iv...
