Hi, we are heading away for an extended period shortly. This is during the warmer and sunnier months of the year. We can leave the SWG and automatic acid doser running but won't be able to test and make adjustments. So we risk the chlorine level dropping too low or rising too high if its not set...

Hi guys Equipment is in my profile. I read that you need to be careful with the flow rates when you have a variable speed pump and are using a sand filter. But I don’t know how much of a concern this really is and whether it justifies installing a flow meter. Most of the time I have my pump set...

If you have difficulty with colour matching, then why not get a half decent ph meter and use that to measure your ph?

Hi everyone I see the general recommendation is to run higher CYA levels for a SWG pool. That seems to be to reduce load on the SWG cell and reduce ph rise. Does the higher FC needed for the higher CYA make more of a chlorine smell? Or does the fact that the CYA is binding some of it up make...

Hi all We have just had a new fibreglass SWG pool installed and I am coming to grips with water chemistry. The standard recommendation appears to be to keep TA in the 60-80ppm range. We have a ph sensor and an automatic acid doser. It seems that adding TA will likely cause more upward PH drift...
