I have addressed this. Still do not have it exactly where I want it, but the water chemistry will be spot-on before I add a SWG.

Okay, is there a calculation I can run or an accurate chart I can review to determine what size pump I would need?

I was thinking about adding the VS pump. I planned on checking what kind of power my 1hp hayward pump was using this weekend. I too am also very handy and will be installing myself. Mine is also on a timer so if I do go with a VS I will just remove the tabs as well. So it sounds like you are...

Yeah that makes sense. I was worried about too much chlorine but if you are at 95% I should be able to dial it back if I need to correct.

Interesting, Our pools are similar in size. Wonder if I should just go for the 60k....

Anyone else want to chime in on this? I am about to pull the trigger on the RJ-45

Both great ideas thank you!

This makes sense, it also has me thinking... my sump pump is faster than the water going in so I have to monitor the level of the water and turn the pump off as needed. So the process was, to turn both the water and the sump on for 45min turn the pump off, let the water run for 1.5hrs, and turn...

So, in the Wiki it talks about starting and not stopping until you remove all the water you are planning to remove. Is there any way this can be done over a period of multiple days? It would be nice If I could do it when I get home from work in the evening from like 5-9 Monday - Thursday, and...

Thanks, leaning curve is steep haha. Looks like I have 17 more hours of water exchange, I will do it the correct way this time.

Thanks RLP, it was hot yesterday and today, so I was hot, and mad at myself for not paying closer attention to the link. Im calmed down now and will take advice as its comes. The numbers do look better than they did so we are heading in the right direction already. Trying to make a choice on a...

Yes, that's what I figured, and what I did. FC- 1.5 (I added 2.6 gal of bleach to keep algae at bay until I make the next move) pH- 6.8 TA- 90 CH- 280 CYA- 120 CSI- -.086

I misread that originally... I did the math and I filled the wrong way. I was under the impression if the water was similar in temp you filled from the bottom and then filled from the top. I didn't know that I needed to do a TDS test, after doing I did the opposite of what I was supposed to do...

Well I have added and removed water for 15 hours at around 6.7 gal a min. I just went out to test my CYA and it's still over 100. I did not do the multiplier test since I know it's already high. I am filling front the shallow end I have the hose on a bucket on the second stair, and I am pumping...

Doing a no drain water exchange now. Now I wait......
