    SWG question for Florida folks....

    I live in the Fla Keys and HAD a Tru-Clear SWG. My pool is only 7000 Gals and my chemistry #s are similar to yours. The Tru-Clear swg could not keep up w my chlorine needs. My local Jandy rep was able to get me upgraded to Jandy's AQUA PURE system at no charge under warranty. Since the upgrade...

From Page 28 of the Jandy AquaPure SWG Operating Manual..... 7. The pH condition resulting from the operation of the salt water chlorination system is...

    Thanks.... I will try what you suggest. My original goal was for CH to be 400 and TA to be 80. I slowly approached those targets. Once attained, they stayed there for awhile. Then for some unknown reason the CH rose to 490 and TA became 105 but seem to have now stabilized. I have not added any...

    Lowering Total Alkalinity; Is SWG use hampering the process?

    I would like to lower my TA from 100 down to 80. I have lowered the PH to 7.2 and set-up a single fountain to aerate as best I can. It has been about a week now with minimal movement in the TA reading (Initailly 105). I have had to add 6-13oz of muriatic acid every 2-3 days to keep PH at 7.2...

    CYA keeps disappearing

    I have had my pool for 6 months now doing my own chemical maintenance and relying on my local pool supply company. Pool size approx 8k gal, Jandy TruClear salt/chlorine generator. I basically use (7 test) test strips but make weekly visits to local pool company. I am struggling to keep chlorine...
