I was able to get it in just fine. The vertical install is a bit tricky, but perhaps now that I’ve compressed the rings in there, they’ll be easier to keep in when I take the unit out for cleaning/winter.

I worked this weekend on installing my new RJ-45+ with the vertical installation kit, and I'm not quite done. I noticed it's really hard for me to get the o-rings in and staying in the vertical orientation, and I worry I won't have them fitting quite right. It's just unclear when I slide it in...

Hi Everyone! We had this pool installed last year, with a 3HP variable speed pump and are in the process of getting a CircuPool RJ 45 PLUS SWCG. The pool company that installed the pump has it running 24/7, but it slows at night. Does anyone have recommendations on how to figure out the...

Per @mknauss advice, I just ordered a CircuPool RJ 45+. It's bigger than needed, but I understand that's not a bad thing and Discount Salt Pools had a great promo where it was $1 more to size up and they gave me the vertical install kit for free. It looks like putting this in vertically will be...

Thank you! The pump is always scheduled to run once the pool is open for the season, though at varying speeds. I was under the impression that SWCGs are able to detect through electrodes how much chlorine is needed and apply it. Is that incorrect? With a variable speed pump, I am trying to...

We had a great 1/2 season, and here it is all done below. If you look at my posted Pool Math chemicals, it was a nightmare at times going from no chlorine to super high. Per @mknauss we really need to get a SWCG and ditch the frog. I’d really love recommendations on what you think is the best...

Thanks for your advice! I just now took a full sample set and got the following: Interestingly, I just tried the pH pen I got in my TF-100 bundle, and it said that the pH was up around 8.1. I have yet to calibrate it, so I'm assuming the above result is right. Pool Math Says: pH: Add 48 oz...

Does anyone have an idea here? Thanks!

Thanks for the post! I’ve stored the muratic acid separately from the other chemicals and, among other protections. You asked about turning up/down the chlorine, and that’s from the Frog, which is what I think you’re describing as a chlorine-infusing reservoir (if you ignore the mineral side of...

Our pool company has cut us free after a three hour pool school and a mountain of documentation. I've been checking out this site and knew that the single Hach strip pack they provided wasn't going to cut it, and I got a TP-100 XL and started off Silver Sponsoring. The pool company hands over...

Sounds good! That does all make sense, and I do understand you don’t want a massive amount of these. That’s actually why I’m wanting to track inventory so I can keep just what I need on hand without lacking what I’ll need. If most of it could be kept in large quantities, I’d just buy a bunch...
