Post photos so those in the know can provide more guidance regarding the type you have and what you might be able to do

Coming in late here (only read the part where I was summoned 😉). If you can test your salt, do so before adding. Mine was already high so I only had to add like 1 bag of salt. Had I allowed the person who installed the SWG to do it they would have added 8-10 bags because they don’t bother to...

This is how I will have a heart attack.

Have you measured what salt level you are starting with? Do that first before determining how much to add.

Oh I have these same ones. One of mine actually twisted itself out somehow (not sure how it got loose or if it was never really that tight). Anyhow, the two tabs you see- that is what I turned counterclockwise (to the left) and then the tab ring and the eye ball inside came out so I was able to...

agree with all of the above. If there aren’t any issue with it, it’s not time to replace.

A drain and fill will always be cheaper. RO was my preference and by my standards it worked out well for me. If I just need to make a small change, I’d do a drain and fill, but if the majority of water needs to be replaced I’d do RO again.

Ok. I am mainly posting because the kangaroos caught my undivided attention. So cute!!🥰

I just put them on concrete and sit on a footstool. So far that works fine for me. I use this nozzle which I recommend. Aqua Comb Pool Filter Cartridge... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GS580BC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

My hunch is that your cell is not producing due to temperature. My cell is also not producing at this time. It usually happens when the temps get cooler. You can go through what James has noted, but if nothing turns up may also just wait a few weeks for temps to be consistently warmer and see if...

I’m sorry you’re going through this. How did you discover that you had mustard algae? What was your OCLT? I ask because sometimes people think they have mustard algae, but it’s maybe pollen or something else. That has happened to me.

You can read about my RO starting at post 67 here: Post in thread 'Ph after water softener First readings' Ph after water softener First readings

Hi! I did RO a few years ago and had a positive experience. We are constantly in drought here in CA so I wanted to minimize water waste and also I was a bit paranoid about my pool popping out if I drained it. I don’t know what the water table is like and probably would have been fine, but...

I had similar worries last year because I was surprised to be losing water in winter. I did the bucket test over the course of a few weeks and meticulously measured several spots in the pool. In the end it was not a leak. The temp of the water and the temp of the air had a bigger differential...

Hi! Happy you’re here!
