I am sure you know that the best coffee starts with a freshly ground and roasted beans. Do you have a local coffee roaster where you can get fresh roasted coffee beans every week?

Gohlke Pools in Denton.

I also wanted to test my water digitally. I figured if it was good enough for industry it would be good enough for my pool. Well, first I tried the WaterGuru and after replacing the Sense unit a couple of times over the period of one year I gave up on it. Then I purchased an xAct iDip...

My experience with battery powered mowers was disappinting. I purchased a Stihl battery mower, edger and string trimmer and purchased 3 batteries. The battery cost was $200.00 each or $600.00. All three batteries lasted about 3 years, they were charged after every use. So two years ago I...

I run my Polaris 360 (w/o a booster pump) at 2750 rpm. I also have the return line to the Polaris open at 50% not 25% as shown in your photo. I have had the 360 for over 20 years and found it to be more trouble free than the robotic cleaner, I had for only 3 years. The cartridge filters I...

I removed the SWCG generator because the equipment "died" after 5 plus years. The replacement cost was over $1500.00 so I decided to pay over time to chlorinate the pool. I already had a Stenner pump system for the acid and the chlorine so it was an easy decision to make. I use an eXact iDip...

Since I removed my SWCG this past June my salt level has dropped from 4630ppm to 3290ppm.

Thank you. I will continue to track the salt content.

Should I continue to track my pool's salt levels in the PoolMath App even though I have removed the SaltWaterGenerator from service and replaced it with a liquid chlorine feed? I have no intentions of draining the pool to replace the water but plan to let the Salt content disappear over time...

Thanks for the supporting docs. The reason I asked the question is that I calculated the CSI (LSI) using three different recognized methods and got three different results: PoolMath = 0.21, eXact iDip = 0.17 and Orenda = 0.12. The amount of acid needed to achieve “0” is different in all three...

Recently my 5 year old SWCG stopped working properly. It had more than 10,000 hours on the cell. I decided not to replace it ($900.00 cell only cost) and to go back to my liquid chlorine feed system (Stenner pump controlled by iAqualink). I have decided to let the salt concentration (4000...

Astral does not have a scheduling capability. I decided to run the SWCG for 12 hours @ 40% but instead of scheduling a continuous 12 hour run I wanted to spread that 12 hours over 24 in hopes that the plates in the chlorinator would not heat up as much as would happen if it ran for 12 straight...

Found the problem. Schedule at 0300 had it shut off in pm instead of am.
