nevermind I found the return opening under the pipe going out to the pool. Thanks for the responses.

NO, just the standard one.

It is aquastar

I was more confused why there is a return for the skimmer when there is no suction. The picture with water has a jet shooting out a hole on the other side. No suction.

Just had a quick question. When I close the skimmer return nothing seems to happen. Is there actually suction in the slimmer based on the pictures? It appears the jet shoots out the hole on the other side of the pool, but no suction. Just confused why there is a return for the slimmer.

Hey all, This forum has helped me a ton and my pool has been pretty low maintenance for me so far and perfectly clear. 2 things I wanted to ask. How do my results below look? I noticed my Chlorine levels have crept up over 10. I have the SWCG set to 50% right now. Do you all normally turn it...

I am not planning on turning on the SWCG until it warms up based on this. During prolonged periods when the water will be lessthan 55°F (13°C), the unit should be turned off and achlorine floater or erosion feeder should be used byputting a small number of tablets in either of thesedevices...

Sorry Allen. It is a Jandy TruClear SWCG. How is my signature now?

I do have the salt test and did it a few days ago. It was 400 ppm, so based on the app i need to add 300lbs to get it to 3000ppm. Probably going to add 200lbs at once and check daily and add a bag at a time until I get to 3000.

Ok I had a few more questions, if you don’t mind. My pool is coming up on 30 days old this week. I was planning on adding salt to it, mainly just to swim in it this weekend. See any issues with this? I am pretty sure I need to keep the SWCG off and continue to use chlorine, but any reason not to...

I just ran some new numbers. From what I can tell I am looking good. TA is a little high, but not much. Probably going to at some Muriatic acid in a few days to get me towards 7.6 PH. Any issues? FC 2.5 CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 110 CH 300 CYA 30 Temp 58 CSI .11

Thanks for the follow up. I am using the pool calculator app and didn’t know how to get the CSI number, but realized I was just missing temp. I add the 52 degrees and my csi is -.52. I will let the ph raise up some and monitor. Thank you.

Will do. Thank you for reviewing. What about the calcium? Should I try and lower it?
