    You got this! Can't wait to see the sparkling "after" pictures. Keep at it!

    Help me! I'm trying but failing:)

    Chlorine will be burned off by the sun every day, you'll want to test regularly and add liquid chlorine as needed to keep the proper level of FC. The Pool Math app will do the math for you (the right FC number is related to your CYA number). Typically at the start of the season I'll test every...

    CYA Oddly Low / C3 Tablets

    Thank you! I knew that was in the app somewhere, was looking at the CYA card and didn't see it. My plan (hope) was to use the tablets to raise my CYA the necessary amount but sounds like that might be a bit slow going. The 6 tablets in there will likely take a week to dissolve in the floater...

    CYA Oddly Low / C3 Tablets

    Closed the pool at the end of last season with about 50 CYA. Drained maybe 25% of the water as part of my winterization. Refilled and opened it back up about a month ago. Assumed I would have, say, 25% less CYA (about 35-40). Measured yesterday and I appear to have near 0. Would love...

Anyone have a recommendation for a good cordless robot as well as a good skimmer robot? My pool has one tiny skimmer that needs to be emptied three times...

    Looking to add SWG to existing pool - help selecting equipment

    Good point. The Circupool manual says it's perfectly acceptable to power it 24/7 and rely on the flow switch to regulate generation on / off. I get ya though...if that flow switch fails and the generation turns on that could be ugly. I'll go edit my timer right now

    Looking to add SWG to existing pool - help selecting equipment

    I went this route...didn't bother with calculations just bought the biggest one Circupool makes (17k pool, got the 60+ I believe). My setup is similar to yours OP in that my pump is turned on / off by it's own internal timer settings. Per the Circupool manual, I rely on the flow switch to turn...

    SWG Plumbing Question

    I can answer this one! Do you have lights in your pool? A lot of times the 110v supply to the light transformer is wired through a GFCI outlet in order to add that protection to the system. Outlets SHOULD be fully functional and fine to plug a SWCG into
