    Need to drain pool due to high salt levels for SWG: drain half or drain whole thing and start fresh?

    My apologies, I wasn't sure to round up or down. I'll have to do another calcium test but I'm honestly not sure how it could be high since I went through the trouble of installing a water softener on my fill line. It almost makes me wonder why I did it at all! And how does everyone else in...

    Need to drain pool due to high salt levels for SWG: drain half or drain whole thing and start fresh?

    See below for results. With the calcium hardness, it never turns the color its supposed to. I've tried all the hints from here and Taylor as well. I'll try again, but I think my other chemistry is so messed up I'll have to drain anyway. Again lol...one day I'll get the hang of this! pH 6.8...

    Need to drain pool due to high salt levels for SWG: drain half or drain whole thing and start fresh?

    Hey friends. I've been struggling with my water since I've opened my pool back in 2020. Have already done one full drain that I'm now thinking wasn't necessary. Well, when I did that drain last year my husband added way too many bags of salt. My salt level is currently around 4700. My SWG was...

    White flakes from SWCG

    @TeenaTeens I see you solved your issue! I am currently battling this problem. Lots of white Flakes, my pool water is VERY warm right now. What is CSI? I’m working on lowering my TA but my fill water ph ALWAYS runs higher ph. Moved from here.

    Hayward T cell 940 aqua rite 900 not reading correctly

    Really?! I think it was on T-15 when they installed it but the PB selected the 940. I'll do that and see what happens. I think my salt MIGHT be on the higher side but I didn't really believe the 5,500. whats the reasoning for changing it to t a T-15? for my own knowledge Updated. changed it to...
