Thanks! I'll shoot for 250 then. From reading online, my plan is to fill a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full with pool water while it is sitting on the pool steps to dissipate some heat, add 1lb of calcium chloride and stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, pour around the perimeter of pool while the pump is...

Bump

I ended up turning my SWG back on at 10% and it has maintained a 4.0 FC with 0.0 or 0.5 CC since my last post. I am at the point now where I would like to tackle some of the other results. I have been adding 12oz. of 31.45 Baume muriatic acid roughly every 3-4 days to keep my pH in check...

Thanks!

Thanks to you both for your help

01/01/2019 Update; Happy New Year! These are today's results. I am a bit more confident in my test results today using the TF-100 kit with the exception of the CYA. The Aquarite SWG has been off since I posted here previously but based on the results I would like opinions on turning it back on...

I am dealing with this exact issue. Pool builder set SWG too high at 60 percent resulting in a FC level of 23.5. I initially reduced it from 60 to 30 percent however it was not dropping much. I turned off the SWG 7 days ago and I Iook a sample this morning and it was 12.5. I plan to get it in...

PM Sent. My pool was completed right before Thanksgiving and I need to get caught up on my posts shortly.

Yeah, I am in Hernando County and I never thought it would get cold enough to shut off SWG but I thank you for the reassurances. It's been overcast so that is another reason why it may be coming down slower.

Thanks for the followup response. I will monitor the FC until it comes down.

Jim, Thanks for responding! I am so glad to hear I am not going crazy! Should I not be adding any acid then since I cant test the pH. Are you saying the results wont be valid because of the extremely high FC? The builder did leave me with a half opened bag of stablizer to make adjustments to the...

Hello TFP! I am a new pool owner with the water being filled just over 30 days. I have a 12x27 PebbleTec pool with an Aquarite 900 SWG, SwimClear CS200 cartridge filter. According to an online calculator it is roughly 11,542.5 gallons. The builder added salt and handed over the pool to me. He...

My 7 foot diameter attached spa and spillover into the pool added $8k to my contract price

We are very happy with the build quality thus far, but not a fan of the delays. They finished installing the pavers this week and the cage is supposed to be installed next week. Child safety fence and PebbleTec the following week.

The autofill recommended on TFP was installed and plumbed The same week the concrete footers were poured: The builder also removed and took away the existing screen to prepare for the pool cage that will later be installed
