Have you ever thought about liquid solar blanket? I have a Flexible Solutions HS115 Automatic metering system dispensing Flexible Solutions Heatsavr Solar pool cover. The company is from Alberta, CA and ships to Phoenix.........All year around I need to maintain the pool at 87 degrees, so during...

I have no idea why ORP readings are so low. Rola-Chem Gold ORP probe was replaced on May 10, 2017, but for the last 2 weeks numbers way down. Wed. 9am ORP 180 FC 11.2 CC .0 Alk 80 Ph 7.4 CYA 70 Salt 4000 So I turned off the cells at controller. Thur 9am ORP 195 FC 10.4 CC .0 Alk 80 Ph7.4 CYA...

While I do agree that the Taylor K-1766 test kit, that I recieved this morning, is a more acurate testing method, the level of salt is the same as the other 3 tests, 4800ppm. I still can not figure how the water had a rise of 700 to 800ppm in salt, in 1 month. Yes, the bather load is more, but...

pooldv..... Did not consider the human factor, as this pool is in a retirement community and the Snow Birds are here.........Joyfulnoise...... 3 diferent types of tests, pool store, test strips (by me) and SaltDip Digital Tester (by pool cleaners).

I believe I know the answer to this question, but it is digging at the back of my brain, so I thought I would just ask. Is there any way that the salt levels can be increased WITHOUT adding any salt? For some reason my level went from 4000 ppm on March 6th to 4700 on April 3rd. I talked with the...

Ping, that is understandable being that when I started this thread, I thought the cells were bad, only to find out the wrong probe was installed. I got a couple calls into Rola-Chem, but have not heard from them. The residents here have stated the pool has never looked better, so I am on the...

I have been able to stabilize the pool by running the cells @ 25%. Basically I run the cells through a full cycle then shut them off, which keeps the ORP @ 730 with the TC @ 1.8, CC @ .2, PH 7.5, ALK 50, CYA 40 and Salt 3800. I just thought I would get more feedback and or ideas on the subject...

Last night 5:30pm ORP reading 655, TC @1.6 ppm and .2 CC, PH 7.5, ALK 50, CYA 30. ORP is set for 720 with a 1 min feed time. This morning @ 8am system was in fault, ORP reading 780, TC 2.6 ppm, CC .2, PH 7.5, ALK 50, CYA 30 and Salt @ 3800. I am pleased that the ORP is high, but with the system...

Yes, the supply line for the probes is located between pump and filter, the cells are located after heater/chillers before returning to pool. Yesterday with the ORP set at 1 min feed time, the level went from 715 in the morning to 635. So at 6pm I turned off power to cells, this morning at 8am...

More info, in learning about this system, it came to light that the ORP probe is not the right probe, got the Gold tip probe (for SWG's) Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning the ORP was @ 720. Using FAS-DPD, FC 7.2, CC .4, PH 7.5, ALK 50, CYA 30. The setting for ORP1 (SWG) is 735 with feed...

Using FAS-DPD kit. FC 6, CC .5, PH 7.5, ALK 60, CYA 40 and Salt @ 4200. ORP1 set @650 for 15 mins, left work Fri. nite ORP was reading 595. At 8am this morning, ORP reading 640 in alarm. It takes 26hrs 40 mins to go thru full round of cycles before it goes into alarm. So If i reset @ 5pm, then...

The FAS-DPD test kit should arrive today.

The pool is located in a Condo Complex and only owners of the complex have access, thus the designation by Maricopa County of a semi-puplic pool. I have a Taylor K-2005 test kit and also have it tested by a pool store once a week plus the pool cleaning company tests 3 times a week. The Chl...

The story is too long to tell, so lets start at the point I was given the task of maintianing the pool about 5 weeks ago. The sales rep from the SWG system recommended these settings: ORP1 735, feed time 900sec (15min), ORP2 680 (liquid CHL backup) feed @ 180 secs, PH @7.3. After two weeks of...
