Also we have another dilemma. We are flying out of country on Thurs, for 3 weeks. I will have my nephews here, house sitting and all. What's the best thing to do with the pool? Btw, opening the pool was not my idea, my husband insisted that we open it. I knew we wouldn't get it cleared up in...

We added salt, because we turned the swg, figured it would add chlorine to the pool. Is that a no no? Should I keep it off until all numbers are where they should be? Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Hey guys, so we just opened up our pool couple days ago, it was green from the winter, we added well water to it, to fill it to skimmer. Dumped 4 bottles of bleach in it. Have the pump running 24/7, the water is cloudy now. We also have a swg and added I think it was 3 bags of salt, have the...

Don't know the CYA yet, as we just filled the pool yesterday and there was none in the water, but I did add about 5lbs of CYA yesterday, via sock at the return. It was all dissolved by lunch today. So I guess next Tuesday I will know where it's at. But I'm thinking I need to add more cya. Sent...

Great!! Now I'll know about the CC!! I'm not going to adjust the PH and TA then! thanks!! I'm so happy the numbers are mostly where it should!!

Hi! We just put our pool up, finished filling yesterday. I want to know how long does everyone run their SWG each day for a pool with about 13,200 gals of water? How about the filter? How long should that be running? I've tested the water and here are my results FC-4.5 C-0 PH-7.2 TA-90 CH-60...

Thanks for the info!! So i tested the water not long ago, and here are the results. FC-4.5 CC-0 ? is that possible? PH-7.2 TA-90 CH-60 CYA i will test Tues of next week, I added about 5 lbs. yesterday (Tues), I 'm pretty sure i need to add more. I think i need to raise PH a bit and lower TA...

Hey everyone, So after a long weekend, we finally have our pool put up! YAY!!:D The kids are so excited! We finished filling today, we had a truck bring in most of the water, but added a little of our well water in the beginning, to get the wrinkles out. We also have an intex SWG, I have not...

Oh really Mickelin? Good to know. I would think the one I ordered is the newer one. I guess we'll see when it comes in. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk

Found the 15,000 gallon one at wall-mart for $99.88!! Can't go wrong with that price!! Also, is everyone using the copper feature or did you disconnect that? I've read some people disconnected that feature, can't remember what for. And another question, grounding, bounding, how did you all...

Thanks everyone for your replies!! You guys convinced me to get one! I'm going to order one right now! Now just to figure out how to plumb it with my hayward sand filter.. Anyone want to post some pics of how you got yours plumbed with a non-intex filter? Thanks so much!!!

Hi, I was wondering if someone that uses the intex swg could tell me how you are liking the system? What size pool and what size system did you get? Would you recommend this system? Or should i invest in a more expensive one? Thanks!!

Thanks! Yes we are aware of that, and initially we were going to try the pristine blue that the guy at the pool store suggested, but after reading so many bad reviews I'm hesitant. So after thinking about it some more and going back and forth about it, we decided we would just do the salt...
