I’ll send a pic in the am of under the filter basket. There's two ports, one suction and the other is blocked off. There is a round lid in the pool deck that I have no idea what its for. I’ll attach a picture to this post. I thought it may have to do with chlorine bit haven't researched it yet...

I appreciate that. I just found this gold mine forum yesterday and am following the advice I'm given. I've only been as informed as the people I've encountered on this journey. I've been looking at salt systems and will wait to install my pump and filter until I decide which one to buy. I've...

Forgive my etiquette in not introducing myself. I'm CJ, live in Arizona, and have had many pools. I've never done more than the standard maintenance and cleaning a typical owner would do. I have repaired and replaced some parts when needed. My claim to pool fame was a heater repair at my last...

I’ll order the TF Pro salt, thanks for the link. I'm going to follow everyone's advice to instal the salt kit now. I’ll will go through the advised OCLT process. It looks like if it's not complete, I continue the SLAM process until the OCLT indicates it's complete. Thanks for squaring me away...

Forgot to include in the last post. Still reading through everyone's advice. Chemical test this morning. Why do I have two maim drains at the bottom of the pool? Is one shared with the skimmer and the other its own plumbing? I also have what I think is a chlorination port. The pic is below...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm still digesting all the information. I’ll take my water to be tested today. I think I'm past the chlorine hump today I think I'm past the chlorine dump issue. Today’s chlorine looks great and I only added a gallon last night when the reading was .5. I will...
