Ok, so we started slamming about a week and a half ago because of what looked like algae growing on the sides/bottom of the pool. Looks like a copper/light sand color...pool was a yellowish tint. Not a terrible case of it I thought...so we started our slam. I dosed the pool with acid to bring...

Thanks for the replies! I started the slam last night and my husband brushed the pool. We are keeping the pool pump on and the SWG off. So far so good...

I'm trying to slam our pool to take out some algae that just started. Having trouble using the pool math calculator to figure out how much bleach/liquid chlorine to add... We're using liquid chlorine 2.5 gallon jug that's 10.5% active chlorine. What number to put in next to weight/trade box that...

We have an SWG and have been running it about 6 hours a day. Having trouble figuring out how long to run it to get the chlorine up around a 5. We have been adding liquid chlorine from the pool store to keep the levels up there. Yesterday we tested the FC and it was 0. :( So we dosed according to...

Thanks for the info.!

Just got it home - it's a jug and says 100% cyanuric acid. Guess we will see how it does - thanks!

I keep reading such good things about it, but thanks for your review! :) I do NOT want to babysit our next automatic vac, lol!

Yes it is a side suction. Connecting all the hoses for the one we have now bugs the heck out of me! Where did you order your Aquabot from and which model did you get? Could you send me a link? Thanks! - - - Updated - - -...

Bump....anyone know the answer to this??

When we ordered our soft sided pool (Legacy brand not intex)...the company asked if we wanted an automatic vac. We had them bundle it with the pool and send it to us. It's a splash a round leisure vac and in my opinion works terrible. Plus they overcharged us as I found the same unit on amazon...

Ok thanks!

Bump for any advice on the last numbers??

New numbers for today - we ran the boost cycle on the SWG last night to test it out. We swam a lot with sunscreen yesterday so thought it could hurt. FC 9.5 (yikes...guess it's working...) CC .5 (can't imagine why this is still showing at all with the higher chlorine level?) TA 150 (went up...
