Thanks I was thinking of using bleach but how do you regulate? Just keep extra bleach around in case you need to add to raise?

Hey all I checked my chlorine level today and it was basically zero - my salt level is showing 2700 but my test strips are showing 3700. I have cleaned my cell. My check salt level is flashing all the time but my power and generating lights are green. I added shock because I don't want to lose...

Tech guy what vacuum do you use?

I only have 1 return so I could use that to run a pressure cleaner, if I did what would you recommend, what is this inline leaf/debris canister you mention? I want to avoid using my skimmer if at possible, and there are a lot of electrics out there that seem to be hit and miss so I was looking...

Hey everyone I have done some searching but can't find any good reviews. I am looking for a new cleaner, don't want to break the bank but I need one that is independent of the skimmer. My skimmer basket is small and it doesn't take much to fill it up when using the hand vacuum. I would like...

.59 + .04 = .63 not .99 - regardless go buy 3 or 4 jugs of bleach and at least start bringing your cl up until you get your test kit

I would say low chlorine is the cause you have basically none...you will need to being it to shock level and follow the instructions in the pool school

I add mine in my skimmer every year - little bit at a time, never have any issues. As long as you take your time and don't backwash for a few days you get the same results as a sock - I have done it both ways

Yeah mine did as well the only difference is the width of the wire terminals but you can spread them easily to line up with the board

It was the inrush limiter - I changed it out a couple weeks ago - thanks

I am ordering the inrush limiters from Digikey as I think this will also fix my problem. When you look in the box it has as an AS32, not an SL32, the only difference appears to be the width of the prongs - for anyone that has used the SL32 did you have any issues? Did you just spread the...

If you are draining below the skimmer you can set it to waste and it bypasses your sand filter - you are essentially performing a long back wash which won't hurt just takes longer

We have a dealer installed matrix - they recommended a SWG system and warrantied it - out of the ones you listed it has the least amount of "metal" components. This is our 4th summer with no issues, make sure you use the right hardware around the perimiter of the pool (stainless).

Hey We came home from vacation and my chlorine level had dropped significantly. When I opened the control panel I noticed none of the lights were on. When I turned the pump off and back on the no flow light flashes for about 15s which is normal than the generate light stays solid green for...

Started DE last night do u have to add more each time you backwash?
