    core control online shows 2.0lbs/day, so would the rj45 make more sense?

    Pool Opening and Converting to Salt

    my mind is blown right now...this is great. i'm in the app...setting up profile. my salt gen i think is too new to list in here...do i just use a comparable one? maybe the RJ45 as it also has a 2.0lb/day rating?

    i think you guys are right i like the idea of the automation stuff but i just ordered the tf-pro kit for actual testing. i'll figure it out i'm sure just never dove in this deep...i guess its time. okay so i will open the pool...get it balanced properly BEFORE adding any salt. i'll test first...

    Inground Pool Upgrades - salt, new VS pump, and now FILTER? HELP!

    Also propane cost for me would be $1.90 a gallon . again neighbor has a pool half my size and when he runs his propane heater for even two days he's crying about it being over a hundred bucks for just those two days....I'd rather spend $300/month and keep the temp up consistently. What I'm...

    Inground Pool Upgrades - salt, new VS pump, and now FILTER? HELP!

    Thank you for the math. Everything I'm reading from users is about $150-$300 per month to run the heat pump and keep a constant temp of 83 or so degrees. It probably won't run at all in July unless it's cooling. I don't get natural gas where I am and don't have a propane line running to my pool...

    Pool Heater Guidance

    so my cost just went up...lol, GREAT! open to any manufacturer...i was looking at black and decker because of some sale prices but whatever is the best bang for your buck and quality i guess. if they're all within 1k or so i'd probably go with the better brand but was hoping to be around 1k...
