Above ground pool 10,000 gallon pool. When opening the pool I emptied to only a few inches of water left and filled with new water. Measured CYA and it was 40. Balanced all chemicals and had pool open for about a month. Using tablets in an automated chlorination system set at 4 which maintains...

Above ground 7,500 gal salt water pool. Was green when ready to open with leaves at the bottom. Added copper based Algecide, turned slightly blue, green mostly gone. FC was 0. Brought FC up to 7. Water turned cloudy. Pump running 24/7 and backwashing daily. Added Floc. Vacuumed. Water got a...

10,000 gal above ground. Had bad algae, no chlorine, added copper algecide, green went away but water became cloudy. I added flocculant. Vacuumed and kept running the pump for a few days. It cleared up some. Then took the following readings: Ph 7.1-7.2 TA 40 CYA 0 I raised CYA to 30 Brought...

Not yet, just got my SWG installed this weekend. I will try to get that in the next couple of days

Thank you for sharing, that’s very encouraging

Thank you, I will. There’s no specific recommendation, like 7.4-7.6? As long as it’s between 7-8 I should be fine?

So what is the recommended pH for a SWG? I just checked mine and it just dropped to 7 so I need to raise it but want to make sure I’m doing it right

What brands are the ones you use in the shop that never fail?

I just noticed that the CYA recommendation for SWG is higher than for regular pools. What's the reason behind that?

Thank you, that’s very helpful. So I don’t need to worry about alkalinity or calcium hardness, and I don’t need to slam it to start with?

I looked through all the information and couldn’t find the order in which to balance the chemicals after a complete water change. I have an above ground rectangular 10,000 gal pool. I had to empty and scrub it because I didn’t winterize it property las year and it was full of leaves and algae. I...

Thank you, that is very helpful

That’s very helpful to know and it makes sense, thank you.

What brand is yours and where can I learn about proper maintenance for the SWG? Also what’s the pH recommendation for SWG?

I’ve been wanting to switch to a SWG but every single system I’ve looked up has horrible reviews, they seem to only last 1-2 years at best. If you’ve had a system longer than 3 years that hasn’t given you problems, please share. I have a rectangular above ground 10,000 gal pool
