We used Heritage Pools. Although there were some issues and concerns during the installation process everything was addressed and we’re really happy with how everything turned out.

I don't know what I was expecting. PB added shock last week and haven't heard anything from them since. I guess I figured that would raise FC enough then the SWG would maintain. I'm learning now how much FC the SWG will produce which is new info to me. PB initially had the pump set to run from...

So I just changed it to 100%. I have the pump set to run from 10AM to 8PM.

I just turned the heater on this morning because we're supposed to be getting some warmer weather. The SWG was too cold this morning but it's generating now and I have it set to 80%. Water temp on heater indicates about 58.

2023.

Does that mean the SWG isn't really adding any consequential amount of chlorine? So add 1lb of shock? Run the pump for 24 hours then test again? Supposed to be 82 on Sunday and my son was hoping to be able to go in it. Not sure i'll be chemically balanced in time. Thank you.

What the heck am I doing wrong. First time ever testing a newly installed pool. Last week the builder added shock. I bought a K-2006 from Home Depot's website and the pH is at 8.0 so no issues with testing that. However, I'm doing the DPD test and I add water to the 25mL line. I add 2 scoops...

Just made me think of something. I have a digital timer water like the one below. I could hook that up and just open it in 30 min increments. In other words hit the manual button which will open the valve for 30 mins I think. Just keep doing it every 30 mins until water level in pool is good to go.

I also don't have the valve fully open so it drains a bit slower, about 50%.
