Thanks! Once everything was turned on and the water circulated the salt level was 2200.

Thanks everyone. We're skipping the metal remover and will see how it goes. They installed our salt system last year and brought the salt then so I don't imagine there will be an issue.

Thanks. No known issues with the water, but last year we replaced the liner so the pool was filled with truck water so as to not stress our well. This year the water has been replaced with rain water/snow melt as we dropped the water level at least twice to accommodate. So not much is going...

What would be quality salt vs non quality salt?

Thanks. The salt is 400 presently per the Taylor K1766. The pool was drained partially at closing and then we had to drain more as the snow melted/it rained a lot this spring. They didn't do any tests, but said that if you add 3-4 bags of salt, they'd recommend a quart of metal remover. Pool...

Our pool is being opened this week and the shop doing the opening is recommending metal remover as we have to replenish the salt. Last summer was our first with salt, and we did not use metal remover and had no issues. Do we need this?

I saw the link the other day but now it isn't working. Is there another reference? The instructions don't seem to say this is an issue.

Thanks. The "Closing an In-ground Pool" section of pool school refers to letting the chlorine level fall to half the SLAM level before continuing so that's why I was asking.

Thanks! That's what I have on hand thanks to advice here.

Hi there, In anticipating having our pool closed this Friday, I added chlorine the night before last to bring the chlorine level up to the SLAM level (28 for CYA 70 in my SWCG pool), and it has hardly dropped at all now a day and a half later (24 about 2 hrs ago). Can I still add algecide and...

Thanks. This is brand new and seems like it is doing its thing well. No concerns except for the difference in levels.

I have a Hayward Aquarite 940w. The display shows an average salt level of 3300. I've mainly seen it at 3000 the past few days, never below 3000. When I do Taylor test, I get 2800. This has been the level from the kit for the past several weeks. Is this discrepancy a problem? Should I be...

Thanks guys. The pool company came and fixed it today. Your messages eased my mind after seeing it last night.

We just had a new vinyl liner installed in April and it is pulling out of the track! We haven't even used the pool yet hardly! Obviously calling the installers tomorrow, but please help me with what should we expect to happen from here.
