Is there such a thing as overkill with the water volume recommended? The discount salt pool site has upgrade option from the 45k gallon to the 60k gallon version for 4$ more. The 45 puts out 2lbs per day as the 60 is 3.1. And the difference between replacement cells is 694-794. So just...

Should have all my info in my Signature with my current setup. But quickly 20k gal Vinyl, Cholorine, VSP, Full Sun during the day. Would like to stay between 900 and 1200 budget, 120v and 240v available TIA

So my poll is a bit in the middle grey area here, its a 16 x 32 oval but instead of the ends being rounded, they consist of 6 straight edges forming the oval end so it technically isn't an oval, Oval would have 2 straight edges and 2 semicircle ends. Mine is 2 straight edges and 2 ends with 6...

Winner. That was it. Stuck some forceps in there and pulled enough junk to cause an issue. output is back to normal. Thanks a bunch for pointing that out.

Okay I will try that tonight.

Hi all, I'm stumped and think I may be looking in the wrong place to fix this problem. When I fired everything up last week I had a starting pressure at the filter of about 6 psi, after running overnight it picked up some gunk and went to about 18 psi. Which was the norm last year 6-8 on fresh...

So the pool passed the tests. CC = 0. OCLT = 1. Water = Clear. Tested just now: FC = 12.5 PH = < 6.8 TA = 10 CYA = 50 Do I go after PH next?

So I appear to not have a lot of POP and I went with the quick and hard way. I put floc in Friday at 6 ran the pump on recirculate for 2 hours then shut it down till Saturday morning. Vacuumed to waste about half of the pool then added water and did the rest. Topped off the chlorine and woke...

Still same visibility.

I do have a MP valve and I wish I made a mistake like that on this one. I've also been changing the flow around each day by rotating the return diverters some.

Oh and the other thing I am not sure about, I read the SLAM page again and it says that the PH should be between 7.2 and 7.5 prior to starting, it was over 8.0 and I got it down to 7.5 at the beginning, but now it is lower than 6.8 and I've read some posts where it says the amount chlorine used...

Got the FC to 15 last night, this morning it is at 14. Still no change in visibility and no increase in filter pressure, flow is normal.

yes the biggest losses are during the daytime, I usually am able to keep up the FC in the mornings, but then being away from it from noon till 7-8 pm is when it really drops. Is it a good idea to bump it to say 18 FC at noon so it won't go too far down by 5 when it starts to shade? i just...
