Rgr, and thanks. My swg only has low and high salt indicators anyway. Using taylor kit for actual measurements. With that said, though, when those lights are on, do swg's still generate chlorine?

I wish there was ANY identifying mark on the pool. When I bought the house, the solar heater receipt was in there and it said 10k, but that was added well after the pool. Leslies said 13k based on dimensions, but the same guy tried to explain how I could turn my swg off because it wastes salt...

Me again. After the cya debacle, I'm super cautious about adding stuff to the pool that's hard to correct. And since I'm not sure how big my pool is, I can't reliably use pool math for chemical addition. I think it's in the neighborhood of 10-14k gal. Very freeform fiberglass. That said, I'm...

Perfect. Thanks! So 7 is the lowest it should get, and I should aim for 10 according to that. Not sure where I got 7. Not sure if this is the place to report this, but i did double check the app, and it says 5-13 with cya of 100 where the calculator you linked said 7-13. I'll go for 10, but...

Thanks! I hate the cya test (bad eyes). Always question if I can see the dot or not, haha. I ran it myself and it was about 100, but just wasnt sure. Kinda funny, I thought, hey, if i mix half city water and half pool water and double it, this will be a lot easier. I did that, and it came out...

OK. So, as I eluded to yesterday, I had drained a ton of water from my pool to lower cya. Got it down from 1 billion (exaggerating, but not by much) to 100. Simply can't continue draining due to water restrictions, and since I keep a super warm pool, over 90 for the wife, and prior to my debacle...

Thank you! I just printed it and will use it. First suggestion, if there was a web-based version attached to pool math, I can definitely see that being handy as well. Maybe there already is on the paid version?

Just started the slam process. I entered my numbers into pool math and added the required chlorine. The process has begun. Pool water is clear, and fc/cc are both 0 due to draining a bunch of water to lower cya. Salt is low, but waiting to add that until after the slam. How long after...

Back already, ha. My new taylor kit should arrive in a few days. Iwon't be adding anything until that arrives, as I'm not confident in the one that i have that's 3 seasons old. But i have a few questions. Drained another 18 inches of water yesterday. Draining more today. I tested again with my...

Thanks so much! Ordering now. I'll be back next weekend for advice after draining and testing and getting cya back in line. Amazing how fast you forget everything, when you don't do it for a year.

My kit is from 2021. I tested cya first, and that was the weird test. I dropped like 4 drops in and couldn't see the dot. Off the charts. I figured, man it's either incredibly high, or this kit is jacked. Then I tested salt. Which it said was on the low end, and my swg also says it's low, but...

Had a rough year last year and just couldn't keep up with the pool. Just used tabs (will never use again), dropped liquid chlorine and acid occasionally, and hoped for the best. I'm now in a better place, and trying to reopen. I tried using my old taylor kit, but the results were weird and...

2 inch pvc all around, I believe.

Hey all, My cartridge filter finally blew out. It was a no name brand that is original to the pool, the relief valve was epoxied on, and the cartridges were ready to be replaced anyway, so it's been beyond time to replace. I'm set on using cartridge again. However, I HATE the large 4 cartridge...

Lots of great advice. I do have my SWG wired on currently, so it makes sense to run the pump 24/7, at least until I get it wired up on the timer. After some tinkering, I learned 1250 runs at 150W, is enough to keep the SWG on, and circulates the pool. It's also Whistler quiet, so that's the...
