    New pool plaster - PH Seems to rise a lot each day, also a question about skimmers

    Hot Dog... I owe you a beer if you are ever in my neighborhood. The door was stuck down and not floating... old skimmer didn't have one... Just pulled the door out from the bottom and it is floating happily in the water doing its job.

    New pool plaster - PH Seems to rise a lot each day, also a question about skimmers

    Hi, Just had the inground pool replastered and "redone" a little over a month ago. After the initial startup I took over the pool and have been meticulously testing and monitoring etc. My current problem seems to be PH drifting upwards pretty quick. I have a SWG so I know that there is...

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    By the way, if anyone else is ever interested in getting help on an autopilot or have technical questions the guys over at SaltPoolGuys are quick and super knowledgeable. They even tried to figure out why the SWG I have (the Nano) isn't producing enough when I was trying to buy a the new system...

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    Just got confirmation from an autopilot distributor. Plumbing and cell size are identical. I literally can just swap the controller and put in the new cell. My total out of pocket on the controller will be ~$700 and then the cell I want is ~$400 (plus a rebate of some kind). And no new...

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    New dumb question on this. From my looking at the set up and system, it almost looks like I could buy a Digital controller and a PPC 3 cartridge, keep the plumbing the same (since I am using the Nano basically a controller replacement), and , and then just power it up and plug in the tri sensor...

    SWG question for Florida folks....

    It rains a lot, and becomes super hot, which in turn makes my pool heat to a nice warm temperature... higher temp combined with rain and UV = lots of FC loss. On top of that I get a lot of splash out from kids use. I am usually targeting to have FC between 4 and 5 PPM.

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    So I have done some research between getting a Autopilot Digital and a Circupool and here is what I have discovered. I am not doing any of this fancy automation Crud, I can use switches and an old fashion timer. Autopilot Digital Has a premium price (about 50% more than Circupool) Made in...

    SWG question for Florida folks....

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    I would take something that works good over something with a good warranty that always needs repairs any day. I am having the guys that redo my deck and pool do the install of the system.... so really it is more of a question on which one is the best to pick. Ultimatly, To me the ~$500 price...

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    CYA range actually ran between 80 and 90 in the summer. Since it isn't summer, I can not post all test results for summer, but right now I am at FC4.5 CC 0.5 TA 80 CH 250 CYA 80 PH 7.6 (and in summer I try to keep it around the same) Unfortunately, the Amp and Volt indicator is not perfect at...

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    So it could have been the cord issue with the cell that kept coming up, but honestly, everyone in my area seems to struggle in summer on chlorine. I have a close family friend who who lives down the block who was putting in 2 Trichlor tabs a week and dumping 2 to 4 gallons of home depot...

    Need help determining what SWG to replace my current one with, as well as opinions on whether or not to do other equipment change out

    If I am in the wrong thread please tell me, but my biggest priority is getting opinons on the SWG. I am about to do a full inground Pool/patio reno and figured while I am at it to do an equipment upgrade/change out if it is warranted. (all of this set up was put in place before I bought the...
