1) SALT LEVEL - The recommended level is 2700-3400, with 3200 being ideal. Q: What technically makes 3200 ideal vs other levels? Q: The cell will shut down (HIGH SALT LED) when AMPS are above max, but does anyone know what the salt reading would be just before HIGH SALT warning? Q: What...

I have a Jandy Aqualink RS 6613/6614 control panel that is scheduled to come on HIGH speed for an hour, and then drop to LOW speed for the rest of the day. Pump is a Pentair 2-speed 2hp Since the last rain 4 days ago the pump is only working in LOW, even though the outdoor control panel and...

The cap on my Pentair 2hp SF 1.3 pump went bad. The repair company replaced the 35uf with a 30uf 370 VAC. The cap is under the hump on top, so I guess that's a RUN Capacitor. I have read online NEVER replace with one of lesser value as it could result in overheating, but its ok for one value...

Results from OCLT test Last night FC 4.5 This morning FC 3.5

I'm experiencing something that I have never seen before, my water is slightly cloudy. This is NOT "can't see the bottom", but more of a VERY slight haze. One of the joys of maintaining a fiberglass pool is that the water [for 15 years] is ALWAYS crystal clear, so I don't know what to make of...

Do I need to hold the FC level at 10 for an amount of time, or just get it to 10 and let it drop naturally to 4-6?

So other than raising my CYA to 80ish, is my water safe? Do I need to take any action? The tests seem to contradict the fact that there is some algae. Keep in mind when I say algae I'm talking about a tiny amount just on the gaskets. This would be easier if the water was green and the...

No, SWG was not running

Thanks for the comments, but now I'm more confused.:confused: I performed the OCLT tests: 7pm FC=5 7am FC=5 According to the OCLT page, "there isn't any living algae or other organic contamination in the pool", if FC remained the same. Also, the CC=0 and the water is clear. Isn't that also an...

My Fiberglass pool always has a small amount of algae on the gasket area of the 2 inlets, vacuum port, 2 outlets, and skimmer. Basically anywhere there is an entry/exit through the shell. It's always there, I brush it off and it grows back. The pool water is ALWAYS year-round crystal clear...

Status??

Fiberglass (2005 Viking Pool & Spa) Beautiful, and on a maintenance scale of 0-10, a 2 [I sometimes feel guilty for doing so little]. My only issue is with the concrete decking. The SWG water is eroding it in some areas. Wish I had been warned about that, not sure what to do now.
