Sorry.. that wasn't helpful! Salt water chlorine generator

I truly appreciate the input and I'm definitely looking into this! Are there any factors that would effect why I wouldn't want one such as pool make-up, region (I'm in South Houston), etc.?

I have an inline chlorinator. I believe it’s supposed to fill (at least somewhat) with water. It appears mine doesn’t fill at all. The water flows in, but maintains zero water level within the column. I tried increasing the flow and the pump speed but it didn’t change anything. How can I fix this?

Might go the sump pump route if that's a viable option. How long would you recommend I use it to circulate and do I need to still use the sequestering agent if I'm going to dump the water?

Here is my set up. The right is a chiller/heater but it looks like for Jacks #2 I need to bypass a heater. From what I see, there isn’t a valve for that. Anyone see a way? The only valve I have appears to do nothing lol

My hesitance with the full drain is whether or not it'll float my pool. Only been in this house since August so I'm not fully familiar with all of the ins and outs.

So is there any benefit to skipping the sequestrant and using #2 then switching out 2/3 ish of the water? That can minimize my issue at a minimum I'm assuming.

I had a post on here previously about identifying a pool stain which is virtually my entire deep end darkening. Well I got Jack's Magic Stain ID and, sure enough, #2 was the biggest removal so it must be the "copper & scale". I bought 10lbs of it (although I will get more since it was 10lbs to...

I see what you’re saying. So that’s the purpose of emptying and then filling with new water. Thank you for your consistent input!

But how does one “lift the stain” considering it’s such a large area? Like do I now just dump in a ton of this copper stain solution?

Okay friends… the #2 Copper one was the one with the best results. Now how to treat this entire area?

Yes this is exactly what it is. I have Ajax magic stain ID kit coming, but it doesn’t arrive until March 31..
