Can you please give a recommendation on the best SWG for an above ground pool that is 18x36 oval? We are ready to make the switch but not sure on which model. I'm leaning towards the compupool cpsc24; is there any difference with an in-ground vs above ground unit? Thanks.

Split from another thread. Please start a new thread for your specific questions. -Smykowski I have an above ground 18x36 pool with a pentair cartridge filter system. I would like to install a swg. Do you have a recommendation as to a brand and size? I would like to keep the cost under...

I don't have a good way to remove/add water. I will remove the pucks. Shouldn't I raise the ph and TA? I still don't understand that before I had no CYA; I added in 4 lbs at a time; waited a week in between until I finally got it to 70-80 range. I did use the hth super shock: I put in 6 bags...

This is my first year of TFP. I bought the tf100 test kit. Have an 18x33 ABP. Have not gotten it clear for the past 3 weeks. Tried using just bleach but switched to trichlor as I don't have enough time to add gallons of bleach. I can't seem to get my free chlorine up no matter how much I...

So if i use the pool calculator im aiming for a FC level of 10 then? That Amounts to two jugs of my bleach. Does that sound right for the Shock? How long do i need to keep this FC level until algae is oxidized? Thx

I finally opened up our 18x33 AGP 2 days ago. I did a test with tf100 and had no chlorine and no cya. I put in a gallon of 8 % bleach and 4.4 lbs of stablizer. I retested tonight after running pump for 24 hours. Have FC of .5 and still no cya. I added another gallon of 8% bleach. Should I...

Thank you. So for a pool this size how long should I leave the pump running? Is 8 hours a day enough or will I have to adjust to the chlorine levels? I may not be able to spring for a SWCG this year so I am going to try your TFT method with borates. If we are going to be gone for say 5 days...

I did see the compupool unit. Do you like them better than the Aqua line?

I have a 18x33 oval above ground pool. I'm trying to buy the best but cheapest SWG I can. I was looking at the Aquatrol but they are only rated for 18,000 gallons so I thought that wasn't enough. Can I use the Aqua Rite in my AGP? Hayward's website says these are for inground pools only, but...

I did read your link and I do want to put them in as my daughter has sensitive skin. I just ordered the TF-100 that you recommended. I was looking to purchase the proteam supreme plus online and wanted to make sure I got enough. I'm not up to the borax and muriactic acid mixing yet. I want...

Can you tell me how much of the Proteam Supreme Plus that I would need to add borates into a new TFP pool? I have about 18000 gallons in my 18x33 AB Pool. also, how long do I need to wait after I get my FC up, TA and PH right before I add the borates? Is it okay to use up my existing...
