    Solar Panels

    Moved from here. It never ceases to amaze me what I can find on this site! I have the exact question that was asked by Cali brad, the only difference is I live in Central Florida. The installers here don't want to put the panels on the north roof, like Dirk talked about. I think some 'creative...

    Taste of a salt water pool

    I can definitely taste the salt, but the general feel of the water is so much better. My salt is level is 3200-3400.

    Where did my cya go????????????

    Thanks to mknauss and this forum for the help again. When I first bought this house and pool, I had a continuing algae problem. Once I found this forum, I realized my issue was cya over 200, and many trips to the pool store was not going to fix my problem. I guess I got gun shy and didn't want...

    Where did my cya go????????????

    Just looked at the search results, I guess this is not such a mysterious issue after all. I will add some I have and get some more tomorrow. Any thoughts on which is better, liquid or granules?

    Where did my cya go????????????

    The pool has been holding 45-50 since I installed the swcg in May. Always at 30 when I was using jugs. It tested 0 for the first time last week maybe? I just couldn't believe it was low. I wish I could have gotten those results when it was at 200+ several years ago. I drained the pool then to...

    Where did my cya go????????????

    No, it was 0, but I thought maybe because the cl was at 0.5, that the cya was reading wrong.

    Where did my cya go????????????

    My pool turned cloudy last week, when I tested it my cl was 0.5. I thought my swcg was not working, so I set it to super-chlorinate. Seems to be working, I can see it making chlorine. My cya has been holding at 45-50, now it tests at 0.??? I read about the ammonia test, added 185oz 10%, and I...

    Brand new Circupool sj-45 shuts off after salt and cell lights turn on red

    I read this whole thread, I hate that it is not working for you. I see alot about metals in the water, can this cause an issue??? I don't know, just grasping at straws???

    Brand-new CircuPool RJ45

    I just installed my RJ30+ over the weekend, and my salt level is almost exactly what the K1766 shows. I let the salt circulate almost a week before I started the SWG. I also found about residual salt from the chlorine, I added 7 bags (280lbs), when the charts said I would need 11 bags, my salt...

    New SWCG install, just one oops!

    Whats wrong with this picture? Lucky I had enough pipe to cut and install the threaded nut, then glue in a union. The rest of the install went as expected, and it works!!! Circu pool RJ30+ from Discount Salt. Starting and finished pic included. One tip...... Don't add your salt until you get...
