My SWG is showing a salt reading of 2680 so it’s a solid red light but still producing Chlorine at a reduced rate. Testing my water a couple of times I am showing a salt reading of 3800. Also temperature reading is showing 109 on SWG when I’m actually 69. Would replacing the flow switch help...

my pool was completed April 2019 and I am still fighting PH levels. Hopefully this summer I'll see it different. I have a water feature with my spa spillover but i have the valves shifted so that no longer happens. I still regularly see 8.0 on my PH.

Let me give you the set up. I am not planning on closing my pool, but want to be ready in case I'm not as lucky in another winter storm. I've got a picture of my pool and equipment pad below. (the fenced in area on the far left of the picture-where the blue tarp is-equipment pad). My...

I believe my 2 skimmers each with a half full plastic bottle of RV anti freeze has kept my skimmers from freezing over. Some of the best and most unique advice I got during all this.

Northwest Arkansas here. I am not out of the woods yet but still hanging in there, I have been frozen over (except 4 small open areas where returns are pointed) since Feb 13. Equipment pad is completely tarped, wrapped, and I Have a space heater that has been running for 3 days straight under...

I’m still running my pump...if I have to drain equipment how do I deal with the fact that my pad is downhill from my pool? Like 6 feet downhill. Wouldn’t it constantly be draining water...atleast from main drain? If I close the valve then I risk busting that pipe at the pad?
