Seriously considering converting to SWG. Running around and buying bleach is getting to be a pita. Not to mention, the cost nowadays. My pool was built this year. It’s ~13k gallons. I have Jandy equipment. My pump is the 2.7hp vsp. I do have the iAquaLink system as well. I see a bunch of stuff...

I've read the tutorial on how to clean my DE filter. I feel fairly confident on how to go about this up until the point of where I charge the filter. I DO NOT want to charge my pool with filter media LOL. Can someone help me with understanding on how to configure my valves and skimmer s/o's...

I’m currently in a tug of war with my pool builder about the operation of my spa. When I’m in spa mode, my pump is set to operate at 2800 rpm. At this speed, I get some good jet pressure, and consequently some nice bubbles, but the kicker is only 4 of the 6 jets. 2 out of the 6 jets put out an...

I have a new pool build. My PB project manager has been attempting to come out and do a pool school w/ me for the past month or so. EVERY single time they attempt to come out, they screw up my connection to iAualink. Which kinda throughs a wrench in the pool school agenda. Not to mention, I...

I’m curious for the reason why you recommend to wait for borates until my calcium rises a bit?

I have a newly built inground plaster pool. Its been filled since Jan 15. My CSI is currently at -0.42. I was wondering if I should add some calcium chloride to get my CSI somewhere between 0 and -0.3. Here are the tests results from my last log FC - 5.0 PH - 7.4 (a little low, but have...

Looking to buy vacuum for small rocks/pebbles and dirt/sand at the bottom of the pool. I don't mind brushing my pool, but I really dont want to Richard around with skimmer plates, hoses, and what not. I dont have a lot of trees in yard that drop leaves. However, I do have a magnolia that will...

I checked my pool on monday. My PH was 7.8. I didn't personally check the alkalinity. But the pool builder said it was 100. I added muratic acid to lower my PH to 7.0-7.2 per the pool math calculator. I checked again today, PH was right on target at 7.0, but my alkalinity was at 110. I did...

I have a Jandy 2.7hp ePump. My pool and spa together are ~13250 gallons (flow meter reads 55 gpm). My spa is flush with the pool waterline (has a tile spillway). Additionally, I have a QuickClean in-floor installed. My turn-over rate is 4. I'd like to turnover my pool 2xs per day. So I now...
