Regarding the TSP cleaner, I found some phosphate-free TSP from sunnyside at my local Menard’s, but I can’t find straight up TSP. Will this be OK for cleaning the filters? many thanks.

Thank you, gentlemen. I did the OCLT and passed. We have been using the pool a lot more this year due to the quarantine,. so perhaps it is just a large bather load with more suntan lotion etc, plus that dang cottonwood.

Hi friends, Looking for some insight from the experts. Opened the pool on 4/30, no issues since, Opening filter pressure at 10psi. I cleaned the filters with proteam filter magic (2 bottles diluted in water) right before opening. good water balance. Live in twin cities, right around this time we...

Great. Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks for the info. Out of curiosity, why do you suggest replacing the cell, sensor and cord? The flow/salinity/temp sensor seems to be working fine. The cord I’m not sure about but looks OK on gross inspection.

Noticed in the last few weeks chlorine production from the SWG has gone down significantly. I've been seeing error message 123, which I guess means "extremely low current to cell" according to the Jandy manual. I took it apart and give it a muriatic acid bath. I noticed that one of the parts...

Gonfishin - thanks for your input, makes sense. I do believe weather has been a factor. Jim R - to clarify re: the run time. the Jandy aquapure SWG, as I understand (it's been a while since I read the manual), you set the chlorine production as a percentage of pump run time. So for example I've...

Hi all, Having been having some issues with chlorine levels lately so thought I would reach out for thoughts/insights. Up until 2 weeks ago, we were enjoying a magnificent summer with the pool. the water chemistry was in perfect balance, I had the SWG dialed (have been running it at about 15%...

Dear friends, It was my first time running into this issue, so thought I would reach out to the experts. This is our second year with the pool. Opened the pool on May 3rd, water level was very low due to an unusally warm December and January (warm for Minnesota!) so had to add a bunch of city...

Thanks Marty, makes sense-- lesson learned. I have to say one of the most useful pieces of advice I found in pool school was to just look at the water every day as that can often tell you if something is wrong/needs attention.

Quick update, if anyone is still out there- Dave, I took your suggestion #2 and increased the FC to 17 for 48 hours, and the deep end definitely became more clear. Wife agreed, and now we both think I might just have been paranoid about the appearance of the pool. I then did the OCLT with a...

Dave- thanks for your suggestions. For path #2- Would you recommend increasing the SWG % chlorine production (to say 70-80%) in addition to dumping in bleach or just being diligent with liquid chlorine daily for the 48 hours? thx
