    Astral pool swg not sanitizing

    Our pool and swg has been thru one season. When I turn on the swg it comes on but just says "on." It usually warms up and then says "sanitising." I can then see it generating. Now it doesn't. I'm clueless. I will say no one from the builder told us to clean it so we will be doing that this...

    I hate going to the pool store

    I went today to pick up some muriatic acid (they don't carry) and I was so sad seeing all those people buying un needed stuff. The girl behind the testing counter annoyed me so much with her "I know it all" attitude.

    Question about filter pressure gauge

    Well, at least it's a cheap fix! We just went thru that. Got one at Lowe's for less than $10.

    Helping a friend who has opened to algae...

    Tell her I dumped countless bottles of bleach into my pool for over two weeks and now it looks amazing. I know I used over 50 jugs. Of course it's poured in slow and smaller amounts so it didn't effect liner. I always pour in front of a return.

    Question about filter pressure gauge

    I'm no expert. But when we opened our pool this year our gauge stayed up when the pump went off. Our gauge was bad. We had to get a new one.

    Pressure issue after vacuum

    Well the gauge is repaired. But I'm thinking it might be a prime issue. More bubbles in basket this morning and small bubbles coming out returns. Also I see air in the salt generator.

    Pressure issue after vacuum

    Thanks. Honey never has. The pool is just a little over two years. Seems like his list is growing. Haha.

    Pressure issue after vacuum

    And it's definitely coming from the skimmer. I can put my hand in there and feel the lack of normal pressure.

    Pressure issue after vacuum

    Ok. Thanks. I will remedy the gauge tomorrow and report back. I was so busy with my SLAM, I wasn't worried about the gauge as I was back washing a lot. A blockage makes sense since I was using the vacuum. However, the floating hose when I went to pull from strainer was odd to me.
