I have the same Pool Rover jr model. My pool is a 12 x 24 Intex. The pool rover will always cover the 12' side before switching directions. Long ways I would estimate that it travels around three quarters of the length if it is traveling in a straight line. I always just let mine run for the 2...

Yesterday I used bleach to increase the FC to 5 before the SWG started for its 7 hour cycle. While the SWG was running I took a sample of the water coming from the the return by placing sample tube in front of return and FC measured 8. I tried to perform overnight FC loss test. Sample taken last...

Trying to find out how long people are having to run an Intex SWG to maintain FC levels. My pool is 8400 gallons. I live in in SE Louisiana. Temps have been around 90+ degrees. Pools receives full sunlight for the majority of the day. I am currently running the SWG 7 hours a day. Still seem to...

The only filter I have on the PRJ is the one that came with it. Is a finer filter made? Could chlorine reducer be used and then try another purple stuff treament? It is going to take several days for the chlorine level to reduce on its own.

No magic from Jack's Magic purple stuff. Initially the purple stuff seemed to clear the water just slightly. I added 1 qt which was the recommended startup dose for 10,000 gallons, my pool is 8400. I have done some reading on sequestrants and it seems most recommend to have FC level quite low...

I filled the pool with 2 3/4" garden hoses. The water company is just trying to blow smoke. The water company sent someone out to get a sample of water from my tap. They would not take a sample from the pool since I had already added chlorine. I am going to call them back today and have some...

So I will need to just wait for the FC to come down? Or can a sequestrant be added with the FC so high? I'll try to post a picture of pool.

Clear/transparent I can still make out the pattern on the bottom of the liner. Should I increase the PH with something? If so with what?

New member but had researched a lot of information on TFP and thought I was ready to start up my pool. Completed erecting the pool yesterday morning and started to fill. As the pool was filling noticed that the water was green. The green color was not readilyy apparent until the pools was nearly...
