Last night while swimming the Salt water Generator came on, without the pump running...my grandson had touched some of the buttons while outside ... I looked and it had a red light saying low salt, got out and turned everything off...then reset the pump and salt water generator to restart...

well, guess its a trip to town (23 miles, and hope the wallmart has some more Ph down, Hubby visited the Lowes, Home Depot, and only Walmart had one, hope I can find some....next big town is 45 miles.....

Added more "Ph down" via Pool calculator amounts. Today ph is 7.8 (aiming for 7.5), FC, CC are both 5ppm+, very dark yellow on drop tests. TA still 120 probably.....so I read you want it lower for SWG, so is the ONLY way to get it down is to empty some water and replace?

going by the numbers here on TFP about what works for a SWG,even if they said the "instructions" were not exactly the same. So I was aiming for a TA of 60-80. and CYA of 70-80. It said if I got above that it may shorten the life of the SWG. I plugged in the numbers I had when we filled...

New pool, Been circulating pump 24 hr a day since set up as it was well water on a second fill, and got some sediment. I used the t-50, and set my chemicals based on pool calculator. I hadn't tested CYA & TA again until today (it's been a week since we filled roughly) and I wanted to...

Re: Well, I did get One nice swim, then I noticed broken pin Well, here is what hubby did, he got out some straps with ratchets and ratcheted the opposing legs together at the top, so it doesn't move anymore,a we wrapped the ratchets in towels so they wouldn't maybe put a hole in liner...

:hammer: Well, we got Our pro-series, ultraframe ,Intex type pool up. Had to empty once after our leveling failure (skid steer = laser level twice. We were 3-5.5 inches off. So we emptied it, dug out the high poles allowing for different depths by using laser level again and noting with a...

ah, wasps, me who was allergic until I took 5 years of shots. Living in rural area outdoors..I used to get them in the bottom of my farm gate posts, I would spray up into post to kill with the 27 ft type wasp spray. Then I put expanding foam or tons of walmart bags into the empty cavity to...

well, it's not the quietest pump in the world....not any new noise before goo....

We just put up our 22 ft. pro-series, summer escape. A hose popped off the filter overnight and water came down to below skimmer. We fixed ,it added water, then hubby noticed black goo dripping out of bottom of pump, that is attached to filter. It is a 2000gph. We have been running it fine...

Target CYA is 70-80 says the note under my desk cover taken from Pool School SWG page. But read that Stablizer may not show up in test results for a week, so I didn't retake it today. (used half my regents already :-D . Water still a bit cloudy, greenish, but getting clearer, tiny filter...
