Wow that sounds easier than I had imagined. Im supposed to have a 4th of July party. Assuming they finish by the end of this month do you think we could be swimming by the 4th?

My pool builder should be finished by the end June. I’m curious how long I need to wait before starting up the SWG. What’s the order of operations I should follow once I get the fill water in?

Perfect thanks

If I go with a pentair superflo pump and rj45 swg will I still need a current relay if I plan on running the pump 24/7 at a lower speed?

Thanks for the reply. Does brand matter when it comes to pumps?

Thank you. That’s very helpful. I will probably just have one light and no heater. My PB originally sent me a quote with a Hayward 1hp vsp and a Jandy salt system but didn’t specify the brand. Not sure how much HP I will need on the pump but 1 hp seemed low compared to what others members seem...

Pool builder said he would let me choose the brand so whatever you think is the best bang for the buck. Signature was from my prior pool. I forgot I even had a signature to be honest. I doubt I need automation but if it doesn’t add much to the cost then I could go with it. Also I will not be...

I’ve been searching around the forum for a few hours but most of the threads are very specific. My pool builder is letting me choose what model pump and swg to use but I don’t even know where to start. The pool will be a 16x32 rectangle with approximately 18k gallon. I know I should go with a...

Ok Thank you. I just read the article and Im assuming I need to add more after each backwash. Sorry I didn’t see that mentioned in the article.

I have a 16 inch intex sand filter. Im currently doing a slam and want to speed up the process of clearing up the cloudiness. How many lbs of DE should I add to my skimmer?

Yes I do

I haven’t added any additives this season. Last year was my first year owning a pool and I was naive and listened to the pool store. I added floc twice last year. Hoping that hasn’t jacked up anything.

I’m currently dealing with a lot of dead algae during a slam. The pool was a swamp prior to the shock. I know clearing dead algae is tough on sand filters but this seems excessive. After an hour of running my pump i can barely feel anything coming out of the return. After a backwash the the...

It’s basically a swamp right now. Didn’t close it properly last year and just trying to open it now
