Did the test again using the solution with good results and i dont know how anyone could ever get accurate results without using a standard first to see what to expect. holding the sample tube at chest or stomach level i would get inaccurate results with the standard (reading 50ppm standard at...

O.K. I'll try that again when i get home. I just wasnt sure when i did it the fisrt time because when i mixed it with the reagent i couldnt see the black dot at over 100ppm and that was in the middle of the day with sun overhead.

finally broke down a bought the 50ppm CYA standard. wasnt having problems just wanted to know that i was getting close to my target level and wanted to calibrate my eye. So i recieved the standard and have not been able to get any results with it. It is crystal clear at 50 ppm and even when i...

CC is less than .5 and ONFCL Is less than .5. The test strips used are from last year. I had the swg turned off during most of the slam but figured that with the ONFCL being less than .5 the swg would be able to make enough chlorine to maintain but I guess I'll turn it back off until water is...

I'm in the process of completing a slam to open my pool. Water is starting to get clear enough for me to see the bottom. My swg console was telling me that I had a salt level of 2500 ppm and to add 25 lbs. To bring the level back up to 3000 ppm which I did. I would think that by now in the...

I have no experience with your paticular system, but on mine the percentage setting is representative of the power level. Meaning if you have yours set to 20% then the SWG is only outputting 20% of its total capacity. it will still run the entire time that the pump runs.

Not only did it not trip with the pump disconnected, but when i moved the pump to disconnected it i could tell it was probably the culprit from the corrosion around the motor where it meets the pump. i just didnt see it until i moved the pump to disconnect it. Thanks again TFP now off to find...

I have not disconnected the pump, it is hardwired into my SWG control panel, however, when i reset the breaker it does supply power to the SWG control panels digital display without tripping, it trips as soon as the timer tries to start the pump.

I may be on the wrong site but TFP has never let me down before and it does have to do with my pool i quess so: The GFCI breaker to my pumping station keeps tripping and im not sure what is causing it. at first it was tripping and i could reset it, this worked maybe twice. Now, when i reset...

O.K. thanks for the info. i do have some cya dissolving in the skimmer sock, just waiting for it to finish disolving. i'll see how it does then.

that's what worries me. right now daytime temps are just getting into the upper 70's and water temp is at 70. once the water temp starts to get up i'm worried that my FC loss is going to start getting even worse.

I'm new to the site and just started using the methods i have learned from pool school. everything so far is turning out great, exactly as it should in accordance with posts i have read on the site. My only question is: What is normal daily FC loss? I have performed the overnight FC loss...
