I did not add any salt, no. I re-tested the salt a day or so after this post and it reads 4,200. Still high enough to replace water I assume?

Hello, still have not had a chance to deal with the pool vac but will get to that soon. I did do a full chem test yesterday and my salt level is up to 5K, which is outside the range of the CircuPool. I assume that level is high enough that I need to drain a little water to get the salt level...

I was assuming that the skimmer and main drain are connected to that diverter valve. But I am not entirely sure. The pool was plumbed well before I moved in. And when I had the filter/pump replaced back in 2016 or so, I don't think the installer informed me of the setup. The valve may have...

Well, I am back again. :-) Chlorine is still being dialed in. It held at 7.5 from 5/8-5/9, but today was down to 6. I increased the chlorine output from 15% to 25%. Right now I am just trying to get it to a point where the chlorine level will hold (longer than a day). Separately, I...

Ha, I know, I know. But seriously, the response times, quality of advice, patience, cordiality, etc. are so great on this forum. Thanks again. Making the move to using this forum and managing my own pool (wow, about 6 or so years ago now!) was well worth it.

Y’all are awesome. Thanks for answering my 1000 questions! This process has been a great learning experience. I’ll keep hitting up the forum for help when needed. I am sure it’ll happen, haha.

So basically the goal is to ensure that the SWG is generating at least enough chlorine to replenish the high loss days. Chlorine should at least be in range (5-10), higher is OK (up to 13). I should step in and adjust chlorine output if chlorine levels exceed 13 or drop below 5. Is that...

OK so here's the chlorine results since turning on the SWG: 5/4 (early morning) - 7 (Set SWG to 75% output) 5/4 (about 4-5 hrs later) - 9.5 5/5 - 14.5 (Dropped output to 0) 5/6 - 9.5 (Increased output to 10%) 5/7 - 8.5 My recommended chlorine is minimum 3, range of 5-10. Am I shooting for a...

Done! Wife will be thrilled, LOL

Btw, while I am dialing in the chlorine & SWG, is it advisable for the pool to be used? Or would it be better to not have swimmers messing with the chemicals? It's already pool season here in AZ and my wife has been asking me about this, as the kids want to swim. I've been holding them off, ha.

Thanks all. Will keep dialing it in…

Thanks all. I'll invert the cell (I had a feeling I needed to do that) and will play around with the pump speed and duration for the vac. As for dialing in the SWG chlorine output, my chlorine went from 7 to 14.5 in the first 24 hrs; this is at 75% output. By how much should I drop that %?
