Thanks so much Jim

Thanks for the tip Jim and the reply . I don't assume people don't know what there talking about until I gather some more information. That is why I posted on here to see what others experience has been with SWCG with fiberglass pools. So I am happy to hear others are using SWCG with...

I was planning to finally switch over this year to SWCG . I was talking with the manager at the pool store about it and he said its not a good idea to use SWCG in a fiberglass pool. He said it would cut the life of the pool way down . I was surprised to here this . I thought I would check on...

I did follow the criteria a few months ago . I just started the process again a few hours ago. - - - Updated - - - Well this pool is pretty small . I have no ladders . I did notice it on the steps around the corners. I brushed the whole pool and then put in the chlorine to slam it. I...

Hi Just thought I would ask here I am completed confused why I get green algae My levels are FC 6.5 PH 7.8 Alk 125 Cal 400 CYA 50 I just poured 110 oz of chlorine in there to bring it up to shock level or slam . I just did this about 3 months ago . I dont understand why the algae comes...

Thanks Bama I don't really like the Flow valve I have replace with the stock valve. I have also eliminated the the flow meter that cracked even know they sent me a new one. Not sure I under stand what the flow has to do with the basket being filed with debris . My guess is its cuts down...

Thanks for that information thats what I wanted to know. Would this be a good place to ask what are the pros and cons of a Liquidator vs Stenner pump

Bama I would say yes to using allot of acid to control PH my PH goes up weekly . I was told the ph goes up in my pool because of my overflow spa into the pool. If this is normal that the Liquidator does this with acid use I am ok with it. I was just checking to see if I was doing something...

I have had this Liquidator for a few years now. I think its ok , I am not crazy about the journey I have had with it. I have put my own flow meter on it and took off all the stock parts . So it works . My question is why does it fill with calcium in just to weeks, at the bottom of the tub it...

Thanks for all the advice. I went with the valve that can be replaced and rebuilt . It was a ***** to get it to fit back in the same spot. I didn't think it could be done but I keep looking at it and studying it and thinking about it and came up with a way. That is a hard lesson . I will not...

What is a double union ball valve ? And is it as good as a Jandi valve ? I been studying my situation and I think I can cut it all out and put in a 2 inch Jandi valve in , At least I can work on the Jandi if it breaks in the future. I wish the solar company would have told me to use a Jandi...

This solar ball valve is leaking really bad. Its in a location where I have no idea how to replace it. I have about 2 inches on each side I can cut it out but have not a clue of what to put in place of it, there is no flex in-between where this leaky valves sets. At this point I just need...
