We opened our pool about 2 weeks ago. Went to plug in the SWG and nothing. We contacted Intex, they sent us new one. In the meantime, we had been adding bleach to prevent it from turning green. Well one weekend at a softball tourney and 3 hot days...we lost the battle. More bleach and no...

How high should the cya be? Swg instructions say 70-80. I was a bit afraid to go that high for fear that I'd have to drain. I think my biggest problem right now is that there is no salt , therefor the swg isn't making chlorine. I have been supplementing with bleach all along bc my chlorine...

OMG!! This sounds like my house. My newly converted baquacil to salt pool has not been holding chlorine. I thought it was the generator, but that was ok. My CYA has been stable 20-30 ( i know with the SWG it should be higher, but I wanted to cover all bases before i added more of that). I...

I was really scared about the time frame. Reading nightmare stories about conversion taking weeks. Ours was completely converted in less than 48 hrs.....I was very diligent with my testing every 1-2 hrs and maintaining that 15 ppm chlorine level. Also with goo removal on top and back washing...

OK friends......my pool is clear, and almost all the baqua goo is gone....brushed down the sides and bottom of the pool this evening and vacuum is running. have only added 2 more gallons today, and that was with adding water too. Is this possible after only 1 day?? Other than the FC,CC what...

the state of the pool isn't as exciting anymore---we have skimmed out a bunch of the goo....the water is actually clear with just the precipitate in it. I was up to 12 bottles of bleach. In the last 3 hrs, i only lost 2ppm fc...just added some for the night.
