So my system is showing "low salt" error. It was at 2650pp. yesterday, I added 60lbs and waited. Now it's at 2600ppm. I added the other 20lbs from the leftover last night. It still says 2600ppm. I just turned on the SWG about 30 minutes ago. What am I supposed to do now?

Approx 600 gal fiberglass spa is completely green with algae. I've been reading about how to drain, clean and refill, but I'm so confused now that I don't even want to attempt it. But I must. So what do I need to have on hand once I've cleaned it? I have chlorine tablets, stabilizer, and...

This is my Spa water as of 5/12 CL=0 Br=0 PH=8.2 Fc,Tc,Cc=0 CH=300 TA=150 CYA=30 Where do I begin?

I have the test kit coming which will definitely help. I'm almost certain I have mustard algae in the spa, so I'll need a brush for that definitely. Lots of learning to occur, and of course it'll all fall on me.

Currently we have a pool service weekly. I'm not happy with the results, so what are the better items for cleaning? Theres a huge live oak just outside of the a If I buy a robot, do I need to have a vacuum, brushes, nets, etc? Currently we have nothing because the prior owner just gave up on...

These are doing great. I pointed them toward the deck/back of the house and have walked all around the yard at moderate volumes (much louder than average listening) and didn't have spillover at the outer sides of the yard. Placement is going to be a key factor in any audio system. Mine are far...

Ok.. That's just cool! I've been away from forums for too long! And this works better than FB for knowledge sharing.
