Forgive my ignorance….so the 10 or so jets I have around the pool, I should plug those up? Where would I purchase those plugs? Are the rubber or screw in?

Two years ago we had our pool completely redone and it’s been great since. However, about a month ago I started noticing that I was losing water at a pretty good clip. I did the bucket test and there is def a leak somewhere. Losing between a half inch and an inch per day. I have a closed system...

Is the only real downside to higher CYA in regards to the difficulty to SLAM if necessary?

I’ve been trying to fine tune my chems and I think I might’ve made a mistake. My CYA was reading as 40 and using pool math, it said to add 8lb of dry stabilizer to bring it up to 70 bc I’m running a SWG. Yesterday I added it in women’s knee socks in front of 4 of the returns. I went out every...

Roger that. Thank you for your help!

Is the best way to do that turn up the SWG to 90 or 90%. Or let it run at 80% for longer hours? Or just subsidize with liquid chlorine?

Okie dokie. I’ll confirm that the cell goes clear when it’s off. I’m getting no errors on the actual unit so I won’t worry about it right now. Pool math says it should be making 3ppm of FC if it runs at 80% for 12 hours. I suppose it’s possible that I had a loss of 5-6 today. Hopefully that will...

I def get tiny bubbles out of my returns but if I’m being honest with you, I have no clue what I’m looking for in the cell. Here is a photo… Maybe I should take it apart and clean it? I don’t see any movement in there if that’s what I’m looking for.

That’s a tough question to answer. I started the morning with a FC reading of 11. Bc of the high FC levels with SLAM I don’t know for certain what my daily FC loss is. The pool is currently 82degrees and gets full sun for about 11 hours a day.

We installed our RJ-60+ last summer and it’s been great, however I’m trying to fine tune my chemicals and got three different readings with three different tests for salt today. Which one do I believe?? On the SWG itself : 2800 Test dip sticks : 3300 The electronic one I got on Amazon : 3800...

Good morning! I have two goals that I’d like to achieve and am wondering if I can do them at once or if they would compete with each other. My TA is currently 130-140 and I’d like to get that down to 70/80 so I’m going to use MA to drop the pH to 7.2 every time it hits 8.0 (which seems to be...

Sorry, one other question…is there a more scientific way to determine what % and hour many hours to run my SWG to produce desired results? When I I put data to Pool Math, it just says “not enough information”. I have an RJ60 with produces 3.1lbs per 24 hours I believe.

Just just to confirm, after I pass SLAM, FC up to 24 for 24 hours and then how high does the FC need to be for the next few weeks? Will 8 do it? I’d like to bring my CYA up also, would it make sense to up those bags of granular chlorine when bringing the FC levels up to 24? Kill two birds with...

We had turned the SWG down to 40% over the winter and then I forgot to turn it back up when the heat went to 90+. It’s our first year with it and I just completely spaced doing it. Totally my fault.
