Hi, From everything I've read, edge pools seem to be costlier to build, harder to maintain, and slightly more prone to trouble due to their added complexity. We're planning to build a 10 x 30 ft rectangular pool with an attached "baja shelf" area that will be another 9 x 9 ft. Concrete pool with...

I couldn't agree more. To clarify - I only meant that the sensors are there to prevent safety issues and to reduce support calls (e.g.: tell the pool owner that the salt level is too low/high or that it's too cold to operate). I don't believe the sensors are used to change operation parameters...

Hi, First off - I love TFP! This community is just incredible. I am looking for someone to rain on my parade, and tell me why I'm crazy for even thinking of building my own SWG. My current understanding of SWGs could be greatly oversimplified, but to the best of my understanding: The core...

Thank you so much for your help, @PoolStored !

Are 10 minutes (or a few hours) every week or so really all that's needed? In that case it's really not needed. I really appreciate the input!

Hey TFP! We're in the early planning phase of a new concrete pool. We live in a warm climate, and want to warm up the pool year round using a heat pump. To reduce our costs and carbon footprint, I'm hoping to use a pool cover when the pool is not in use. This means very little of the sun's...

You mean TC, not CC, right? TC is your total chlorine - FC (free chlorine) + CC (combined chlorine). A CC value of 9.5 is really really high...

Yeah. They definitely can make a difference when set up correctly if you have a decent sized pump. With the aerator, my small Intex AGP (2000 gallons) could easily climb from a PH of 7.2 all the way to 7.6 in a single day (with the 1400gph pump running). Without the aerator, I can run the...
