Using just regular bleach and I don't add CYA. I'm using the TFP-100 kit and purchase a refill each year. I thought when I purchased it when I was doing research said it was titanium and/or had a 5 year warranty, but I haven't found any warranty info on the heater yet.

When we had our pool put in about 2 years ago, based on recommendations here, we converted our hot tub to use salt with a SWG. I also replaced our aging spa pack and heater element with - SpaGuts brand SGVS501Z Spa Controller Kit w/ VL200 Topside, 5.5KW Almost exactly 1 year after we were...

Looking for a Balboa Circuit Board, no luck finding any in stock anywhere so far out of about 15 different places. I'll even take a gently used one. Part number: 55035-01 Chip Number: VS240RR2C

Thanks guys. I have kept FC on the higher side, but I probably have CYA to high.

The filter doesn't seem like it can keep up and gets a little foamy. Aslo, I have been doing a SLAM for 13 days and can't get the CC below 2. Even when I initially fill it, it starts around 0.5. Standalone. Why don't you want the CYA as high in the spa?

Both our pool and hot tub are SWG. If I was thinking ahead more, I would have got a different Pentair unit to control both. Maybe in the future I'll upgrade. I have refilled the hot tub ever 3 months or so, sometimes sooner. So I was wondering, since I never drain and refill the pool on a...

@DPM20 what did you go with?

I decided to let it ride and see how the filter did. Took about 4 days to clear up. Changing RPM between 800 and 3000 for 24 hours didn't seem to change much.

@ajw22 forgot salt was around 3100 last night so I added 1 bag. CYA was only 50 2 days ago, I have to see if I have any more stabilizer to add.

@HermanTX I don't have a waste setting.

Pump pressure was around 8 or 9 PSI last night when I bumped the RPM's up to 2700. Also, turned on super chlorinate and added 1 bottle of bleach, should be around 9 FC. I'll check after I have had my coffee.

So we had a big storm come through and dump 3" of rain in under and hour. Long story short, flooded pool deck from storm with sandy water. Longer story, I need bigger gutters because it overwhelmed the gutters and downspouts so started going over and landing behind the 2nd retaining wall, which...
