Thanks! Could I treat this the same way I would cleaning scale off SWG? Soak it in a bath of diluted muriatic acid?

If and when I am adding chlorine, I use Mega Super Shock 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite. I have not used algaecide at all since opening last Spring.

Anyone seen this colored scale build up before? Does anyone know what it implies in the context of water chemistry? I am planning on cleaning these items with muriatic acid before opening this coming week.

Hello TFP - Continuing my learning process. I realize this is likely to have been asked, but thought I would start a new thread with specific pictures. Was winterizing and pulling drain plugs, etc. Saw this limey jade green color gunk on heater and in SWG. See photos. What is it, what...

There's the answer I needed! Makes complete sense now. Thank you again.

Got it, thanks! The inverse of this...the side of the drain that is not showing bubbles, does that mean this side has less suction, or zero suction, pulling water back to filter?

Thanks. Trying to understand, new to pool ownership. Even if the they tie together in a Y, shouldn't the air being blown through from pad still exit from both pipes after the single pipe splits into Y? At what point and why does air only find its way out of just one of the drain pipes?

Hello TFP Community - Today I was winterizing my spa. The pool was closed about 2 months ago, plumbing closed off. I kept the spa running for an extra two months per usual. I went to blow out the drain in the spa today, blowing from equipment pad. I had my wife monitoring the spa via video...

Hi TFP! I have been following this forum for months since we opened our 34,000 plaster pool with spa, SWG. Amazing resource. I am very hands on, Ive learned a lot and look forward to learning more. I do frequent the local pool store for a quick water test. And I am aware of these pool...

Fired up Aquapure SWG PLC 1400 for first time after getting salinity right. Put in Boost mode for 24 hours. Chlorine was barely produced. Computer at panel says "Chlorine production" and "flow". Im pretty sure it is wired and operating correctly. No visible algae, water is crystal clear...
