    SWG lowering PH

    Cc is .05. Kit is 2006-c. 14,000 gallons. Ph down. Left without testing TA

    SWG lowering PH

    I didn’t realize that once you selected bleach you could change the concentration. So I’ve added 3 gallons of 12.5% twice and it’s not helped. It’s telling me I only need 2.75 gallons of bleach to get the level to 10 but I never got it to test over three once checking an hour after applying

    SWG lowering PH

    I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to find a way to change bleach to sodium hypo chlorite and the app doesn’t have the iption. I’m guessing I can just halve it from normal solution?

    I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to find a way to change bleach to sodium hypo chlorite and the app doesn’t have the option

    SWG lowering PH

    I can only get the 12.5% and it doesn’t say the amount to raise it to 10ppm and the pool calculator doesn’t list it as an option. Do you know how much I should be adding?

    Thanks for the help! I’d like to also thank the soybean industry for making all electrical wire coverings out of material that rodents like to chew on. Probably cost me $2k in repairs in my life

    SWG lowering PH

    Cc seems to be under .5 and yeah that’s what I thought I was doing but it looks like it’s making the additional problem of ammonia. So am I just still working toward correcting it?

    SWG lowering PH

    Thank you. Do you know what I need to do at this point? Should I add a different liquid chlorine? Should I keep the SWG at 100%

    SWG lowering PH

    I amended the original post. Using a 2006-c. Before I left 2 weeks ago the cynauric acid was at 65 and I added just a touch. I just tested it and it never clouded to the point of not seeing the black dot so it's under 30. We haven't had more than .6 of rain over this period. It sat with the...

    SWG lowering PH

    So I went on vacation and I assume within a couple of days of returning my flow sensor got chewed through. Chlorine was at .05. No green or visible algae, but I'm sure it's there. I repaired it and set it to super chlorinate until I could pick up some liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite 12.5%)...

    Underprepared on settings before vacation…Need advice on close enough SWG settings (Rj45+)

    65-70. Free chlorine has been 3+ for a while with no combined Pool is still 2.5 (since tested this morning after being off all night) after running for 4 hours on 40%. It’s 95 out and we just got done swimming for 3 hours. Forecast is 80 indefinitely.

    Underprepared on settings before vacation…Need advice on close enough SWG settings (Rj45+)

    So I drug my feet and never set up my pump/swg timer because the swg is too good! I just bumped it on when levels dipped. Love this thing. I’ve been turning it on and off by swim load and less so by temp and I didn’t really pay attention to times. Booked an impromptu vacation yesterday and...

    New above ground swcg build

    Is it worth it to drive to town to get cya today or am I good to wait a day or so until I have other errands? It’s about a 50 mile round trip I’ll go ahead and add the last 50 pounds but I remembered seeing someone say that you should do half what it calls for so you don’t overdo it so I...

    New above ground swcg build

    Yeah this was just given to me when a friend shut down their pool. I’ll toss it but wasn’t sure if it would work in a pinch

    New above ground swcg build

    I’ve got a new 13,500 gallon above ground with fresh water and the recommended level of salt (actually 50lbs short of 400 just in case it would go too high) added 3 days ago. I’m not near a pool store and won’t make it for two days and my salt test/k-2000 kit won’t arrive till after that. The...
