Hi all,. So here's what's going on. Didn't check the salt numbers at startup, just went with 200#. Yeah, my bad. Did a Taylor salt test. Read 5600, was an expired kit. Took a sample to the local pool spa store. He told me on the phone he couldn't test salt, so whatever, my Taylor kit's like...

Can we just cover it and wait til Spring? Central WI.

Can I just add we tried a stinkin' pipe wrench on the stand pipe and it's not budging...

Help. MPV was stuck on stand pipe and hubby pulled the stand and laterals out of the sand. Our laterals are not the ball kind, so not sure how to take those off to remove. Can we just leave the pipe sticking out of the filter top resting on top of the sand, and cover til spring, then tackle it...

Yes. Fixed that. lol... Thanks so much. The SWG manual says "preferred" CL at 5. Just freaked me out.

Hi all, It's been a while because things have been going good. Opened the pool to clear water, basically had to add water, salt, a tad bit of bleach and a little baking soda. Chlorine did drop way low, so set swg to run 10 hrs. Forgot. :oops: Chlorine levels had been good. Today it's 11. TA is...

Thanks Aimee. So it should be ok to run the swg after I get the Cl and Na fixed? That's my biggest concern with the TA is the chance of deposits in the swg.

Here's my latest numbers: FC 2.5 Ph 7.6 TA 140 CH 260 CYA 53 Salt 2600 Borate CSI -.17 At one point I had FC 4 Ph 7.2 TA 140 CH CYA 65 Salt 3200 Borate CSI -.44 I was going to run the SWG, but I read high TA is bad. So I need to add acid, correct? I didn't have to do that in the fall...

Hi all! you may or may not remember, I just had our second hand agp installed in Sept just in time to winterize it. lol... So after the installer got done, and things were running good, we developed a leak, and the pool place replaced a bad gasket and the spring in the multi port. We put it...

Thanks. I think rather than risk stripping something, (as I had tried to loosen the outer ring when I was closing), I will just let it drip out, and not risk damaging the skimmer.

Right. I get the displacement. So how do I partially take it off? I tried to unscrew it, but it wasn't budging when we winterized, so I didn't force anything... And are they threaded on the inside to add a threaded plug to?

Hi All. Thanks for all the help in starting up and immediately closing our pool due to the season. lol. Everything's been great til now. We got hit with a lot of rain, (no snow yet-YES), and water has started to drip out of the return inlet. I plan on shop vaccing the water off the top, but it...
