Thanks Pool Stored, No worries there! That is my whole point of this post. My average FC usage is approx. 2.5PPM/day. I bought a unit that should be able to produce that in 8 hours @ 50%. I am running it twice that amount and needing to supplement LC every 3 days or so.... There is no way I am...

Ok, all, I just want to follow up with you all as the SWG is still not producing he 1.7Lb in 24 hrs (in my pool according to pool mat would be 3.9PPM in 6 hours of run time). Here is what I did since my last post: on 7/26/24, I started a SLAM (SWG turned off) Raising the FC to 20PPM per pool...

Well, Ran OCLT test overnight starting at 8.0PPM This morning it's at 6.2.. You all are correct, I'm using Chlorine. Starting slam this morning. I appreciate all the help! Herb

We have been cooler here this week so I have been running the filter/ SWG during the day so for OCLT, No filter or SWG will be running. Thanks for the info on not running the SWG while salt is added. I didn't know that was a thing.

Thanks Newdude, I am going to try these other recommendations before I put any Phosphate remover in and be hopeful that they work, If it does not, I guess there will be no other way than to "play their Game"!

Thanks Pool Stored, I will do this this weekend. FYI, I have not been relying on the SWG to get me to raise the FC level. What I have been trying to do is get the FC to 4.5-5.0 which I do with LC but three days in, I'm down in the 3's so more LC needs to be added. This is frustrating as the...

Thanks Gentlemen, That was fast! User777, sales brochure says minimum of 2800 but manual suggests between 3000 & 4500 and as you say they suggest an ideal amount at 3500 which i will regrettably do tomorrow. Just adding salt to get from 2800 to 3000 was noticeable but if that is what I got to...

Thanks Denise! Yes, we don't have a lot of space to work with.I want to have the pool edge (where the water starts)to be 4' off the house and would like the pool to be around 5' in the deepest part. PB says that for every foot of depth, you need to be a foot away from the house otherwise I will...

I added I added some pictures but still trying to add my plot plan. Looks like I will need to convert it to a png file. Herb[/IMG] [/URL]

Thanks for the replies, y'all and sorry so late to respond back! I was thinking $43K but got a verbal from one builder of $50... I did not get a formal quote from him but he is all about the upgrades! lol! I got another PB that I feel comfortable with that will be quoting me soon. Dave, I...
