Been a month since draining. CH has crept up to 400 from 240. The mineral deposits have come back and there are now more than there were before. I now understand to be calcium nodules after doing some research here. Thank you so much for the informative post! Thread 'Calcium Nodules in pools'...

Just to follow up… We drained about 3/4 of the water, refilled, and rebalanced, which brought the CH to about 240. Then we discovered the SWG cell had a crack in the end cap that was leaking, so we had to replace that (cell was barely a year old and under warranty—great service from CircuPool)...

got it. Yes… CSI is in my original post. 0.84 according to PoolMath with my numbers. I will do the water replacement because we have been getting a lot of buildup on the SWG cell and then it deposits the white flecks in the pool.

Is CH of 870 and/or the white residue a problem? What I’m getting at is… how urgent is it to do a water replacement. I’m in Florida so there going to be some naturally when the rainy season starts.

I tried to get some pics last summer but they didn’t turn out. I’ll try again. Yeah the company owner was okay but his crew really sucked.

I do! My SWG calls for ~4500 ppm salt, so I overshot a little the last time I topped it off. Is the replastering why CH has crept up so high? I never used to have a problem with it.

We had our pool replastered 2 years ago and we have been getting a lot of white residue in the water. I finally got around to testing my CH and it is quite high. From what I am reading, the only way to lower is to replace water? Here are all my numbers: FC 8 PH 8 TA 130 CH 870 CYA 60 Salt 4800...

Thanks for the replies. From what I saw on Marina’s website, they’re more than I was hoping to spend… I’ll keep researching but hoping to find something basic in the $300 range.

I’m a bit overwhelmed in starting to research pool cleaners. Is there somewhere I can read up on the pros/cons of the different types? I’m attaching a picture of my oddly shaped pool. It’s about 3 feet deep at the steps and goes down to 6.5 at the far side where it is widest. There is only one...

Hello, My husband asked me to post this for him... Need metal roof install advice for solar pool heater. We have a Heliocol solar pool heater and we love it. We had our shingle roof replaced with metal. We took down the old system, but the local contractor refuses to install it on metal so...

I generally run the SWG at 50-75% capacity except for the hottest 3 months of the summer and that is with the whole system running 9-10 hours a day. August/Sept might have to bump it to 100% occasionally or do "Superchlorinate" after a party or something. When we have real winter weather for a...
