It's currently running at 60GPM - I'll have to look and see what RPM that is.

8:30am to 7:30pm Should I back it down? I figured it was on its last legs and I'll be replacing it within a month or so.

Hi all - Nothing major to report as of yet. Still adding a little LC every day or two to maintain 6-7 FC. Still adding MA to keep PH in line. SWG is on at 100% and I lost about 1 FC yesterday without adding LC so I guess it's doing something. Checked CYA this morning and it's still in the 50...

You’re right for sure! At least the pool looks great and it actually hit the perfect temp today (87° in case anyone was wondering) and is swimmable for the weekend. I had to get trees cut down this week (yay more money gone) and I have a ton of yard clean up and fence repair (yay even more...

The bubbles almost sound like air trapped in the SWG - almost raspy sounding maybe? Really hard to describe. I’ll try to get a video tomorrow. That’s a great question as to when they started. I started another thread about them thinking I had a leak but can’t for the life of me remember if I...

Will check the flange and the o rings tomorrow. The o rings seemed good a month or so ago when I lubed them. Just got home from work and tested FC. It’s at 7 with the SWG running at 100% all day…

Here’s a pic of the underside for what it’s worth. Can we upload videos? Might be able to hear the bubbles. I’m back at work so it’ll be tonight before I can try to upload.

I did pull the union apart and lubed the o-rings a month or two ago when I cleaned the SWG. I know it sounds weird but it seems like the leak is at the glue side of the union. So bubbles are normal - is it normal to hear them at the SWG bouncing around in there? On that note - I was informed...

Well dang. Another question - when I stand by the SWG I hear “bubbles” going through the system and I think there is a tiny leak on the pool side of the SWG. Not even enough to make the ground wet below it but there’s usually a drip sitting there if I run my finger under it. On the bottom of...

Good morning - did the FC test at 6:30 and it’s at 9. So that’s a 1.5 increase over 9 hours at 100% output. Low?

I’ll bump it to 100% just for fun. It’s 9:30 and I’ll test at 6:30. Pump was running during the rain and I stick my arm in down to the elbow to get samples.

Thanks all! Somebody turned on the rain switch right when I got home from work and we picked up about 1.25" (not complaining!). Just went out at 8:50 and did FC test - it's 7.5. Is that crazy for one day to drop from 16 this morning? It was hot and sunny till the clouds opened up around 6pm...

Won’t be able to test in the middle of the day until Saturday unfortunately. If I’d just hurry up and win the lottery I wouldn’t have this “work” thing getting in the way of stuff I want to do! I’ll assume with an FC of 16 this morning it should hold until I get home this afternoon. I’ll check...

Ok - big day! Last night had FC of 16.5 and this morning was 16 CC is 0 and water is clear. Guess that means SLAM is done? Now what? Turn SWG back on and keep an eye on FC? At what level do I check CYA again? Once I’m back in the normal zone I guess then I’ll know if my SWG is keeping up?
