Hey! Placing wires 1 with wire 3 and 2 with 4 worked well. I saw method from a few YouTube videos. It now creates chlorine when switched on, so it’s always generating chlorine on FP mode. It’s going on 2 weeks without issue!

Hey all, I have an Intex saltwater system. We are going on year 4 with it and I am well aware it is near the end of its life. I’ve watched YouTube videos and read other forums on this issue but need additional advice. Noticed that the service light switched on and unit powered off after...

It’s almost pool season! We noticed that rust had started forming on our above ground pool’s verticals uprights at the end of the summer last year. It was only about 3 months that it was up... Does anyone know what we could use to prevent/stop the rust? I was thinking...

Hello!! Thanks for all of the help and suggestions :) I just went outside to check it again. It has been on just filtering overnight (no chlorine was made) and it is CLEAR!! It looks pretty nice now. The socks were FULL of iron. We are now backwashing it. I will be testing it again and if I have...

I do have a suggested test kit a Taylor k-2006. We are almost 100% sure that it is the metal, we are just filtering it to not making chlorine overnight. Oh and btw, we were gone this previous weekend and had it on for 6 hours generating chlorine. Then we had people in it yesterday and today so...

I found both of those pages, and specifically what is the folyfill method?

Because of the iron, the pool is now tinted green. We have had this happen before a long time ago when I was young in our 12' pool. My mom told me to put socks on the intake to collect the iron. Oh it's collected lots of iron alright! I have used 4 socks and switched them out/rinsed them at...

My pool is at a 13 for FC. We have been swimming in it today and it was a bit tinted green but clear. The green tint has increased as the time of swimming increased. We did use well water and there is a lot of iron. This is most likely the reason. Anyone know what to do?

I think everything is turning out pretty good now! Here are the results pH: 7.3 Salt: 3710 TA: 200 FC: 8.5 CC: <0.5, the pink wasn't very noticeable at all and was completely gone when I added one drop of the reagent and the CYA is at 80 I am almost sure these are decent results, what do you...

I am going out to test again! I'll try to get as much info asap.

I will be testing the water again tomorrow so I can give you updates before I leave. The water is clear, we have been running the pump for 24 non stop for 2-3 days and we just turned it off and we are scheduling for it to run 6 hours which will go through all of the water.

Re: TA at 200!!? It's been at 7.2 for the past three days and just went up to 7.3 today
