Thank you for response. I asked my friend to double check the TA and he said yes, 600 is correct. He is using the Taylor test kit. I don't know the size of the pool because of weird shape but he says his ex pool guy told him around 15,000 gallons. Just to be clear, first step is to add bleach...

Hey guys. Looking for some assistance for my friends pool. This site has given me some bravado to tackle my own pool on my own but my friend has some weird numbers and I don't want to steer him incorrectly. Some assistance as to where to begin is appreciated. He has a underground pool that is...

Hello. My pool is an above ground 12x18 oval pool and have a swg. I know that the first thing my pool needs is chlorine. Can anyone tell me how many jugs of bleach I should put in to start? The pool is about 6000 gallons. Thank you. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Hi all. I am about to open my pool tomorrow and forgot what could be a very important step. When I closed the pool after the summer I drained all the water out of the sand filter. I hooked everything back up and would like to know if I have to add water into the filter or can I just attach all...

Hi all. I would like to buy a Hayward 100kbtu heater for my above ground pool. My pool is surrounder by deck. There is about 4 feet of space below the deck. The manual says not to put heater under the deck and the top should be unobstructed. Has anyone done this type of installation? How hot is...

Thank you for your response . I'm going to look into a solar cover as well . I just need to find one that is easy to remove and store and then reapply at end of swim day. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Hello. I didn't buy the heater yet. Still shopping for the best one within my budget. Do you recommend something other than the Hayward? When you say 25psi pump pressure , do you mean the filter reading when the pump is on? Mine usually is between 10-14. I always thought that's the correct psi...

Hi. Which type of solar cover would you recommend that would be easiest to remove and reapply? My kids are 12 and 14 and if the requirement to remove or reapply takes too long, they won't be interested. Lol. Thanks Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Hi all. I just ran a natural gas line to my backyard and now ready to buy a heater for the pool. My pool is 12x18 oval and a salt water system. I found a site to help calculate square footage and it comes out to be about 170 sq ft. My research pointed me to the Hayward H1001D heater. Its 100k...

Hello everyone. I am thinking of installing some underwater lighting into my pool. After lowering my water below the level that I want to install the light, is it OK to drill a hole through and area other than the steel part that the skimmer and return is hanging on? Thank you Sent from my...

I resolved my super chlorinate light not turning on. Turns out you have to have the swg and pump running first in auto mode with a % set and then flip switch to super chlorinate. I had it running overnight and came out this morning to a clearer pool. But my filter pressure shot up to around 19...

I just did a water test. My FC is 6.5, PH is 7.6-7.7 and CC is 0. CYA is around 50. Currently the swg is at 100% output. Since my FC is at 6.5 should i lower the swg % output? Thank you

Hello. I should of asked this group before the party but I forgot and now probably paying for it. As of this morning my FC was at 8.5 and PH was a nice 7.6 with crystal clear water. My daughter had a graduation party with 18, 10-11 year olds swimming for about 4 hours straight. I told everyone a...

I test salt with test strips. Also my swg tells me. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
