Hello. 1) While TRYING to work with my PB and Hayward on some odd and transient COMM and low voltage alerts, I noticed that my Omnihub only shows an MSP and not an MPP in the SysInfo display. Is that normal? I don't see a way to scroll for more info- I was thinking maybe it was on the next...

I just put it out there. It's REALLY windy right now, so marking the current pool water level was a little iffy.

Just checked the fill water - it's from the municipal supply - and it's 20-30ppm CH. I also re-checked the salt and it read 3000ppm - i did NOT add the 2nd bag yesterday. I contacted the PB. They've asked me to cut off all equipment and mark the waterline with a pencil mark on the tile. Then...

Hello and thanks. I just noticed a big drop in salt and CYA and I'm asking for help with interpreting what I'm seeing. This is a new pool with a cartridge filter and I have never drained water. 320lbs of salt were added on 9/28 and the SWG was started. I'm testing with the Taylor 2006C+Salt kit...

This morning I'm at FC=11. I'm using a 10mL sample, for the first time I decided to try 1 dipper of the DPD powder and compare it to 2 dippers. 1 dipper = FC 10.5; 2 dippers = FC 11. I had the SWG running at 60%; I've moved it down to 50% and will continue measuring. I'll target FC = 8. I'll...

Ok, so no SWG schedules - just leave it on and adjust output. For the pump, find the min RPM necessary to get the SWG running then bump it up a few hundred RPMs. Can I run scheduled cycles to force a higher RPM a few times a day to help with skimming - or is that nonsense? I need to refresh...

I need to find a better balance with the testing AND acid additions. As of now I'm adding ~13oz of MA every day. I know I'm still breaking in new plaster...but I'm hoping to find a better balance with the pH.

I believe you are describing my situation perfectly - I'm over complicating it...story of my life :) The PB set my min pump at 40% - I need to read the book and figure out how to reduce that in the OmniHub (it's not in the readily available settings), then find the min pump setting that will...

You've had me going down rabbit holes of SWG specs, and arguments about pump run times for the last few hours. I feel that I'm stuck in analysis paralysis - which is when I turn to people with experience - people like YOU. Should I look to run the SWG in minimum 3 hour windows - or at least...

Thank you for the SWG link. What I'm trying to accomplish is a balance of skimming throughout the day while reducing power consumption. This is my first pool, I'm still figuring it out. Even with ALL of the very helpful information on this site, I'm still a newb with 0 experience in...

PoolMath Logs In looking at the pool math logs I can see that I didn't add ALL of my results to the app every day. I'm keeping a notebook with the results. I've updated my signature to include my test kit - Taylor K2006-C + K-1766 salt, all chems are well within their expiration dates. Once I...

I try to run as close to the TFP recommendations as possible. My CYA is ~65ppm and I do use PoolMath. The SWG has been running for 3 weeks. I was testing twice daily when I first started it up; I've been testing every other day for the last 2 weeks. It has held 5ppm with no changes to the...

Hello. I have a Hayward 925 SWG. It's been running for about 3 weeks, and I finally nailed down the schedule to keep me at an FC of 5ppm. The SWG runs for about 4 hours/day at 25%; broken into 2 cycles. Our heater has been in place since the build, but just recently got the gas hooked up - we...

I still need to get my CYA up another 10ppm. Are you also running borates?
