Thank you all so much for your comments. I love this place!!! You are so great. We’re thinking we’ll go with the RJ-45.

I’d love to hear from mknauss. How do I tag him? He’s really helped to fill the gaps in my knowledge in the past. You know, things I don’t know enough to ask about.

Thanks for the replies. My husband is now thinking CircuPool Universal55. Any reason we shouldn’t go that route?

There’s no automation. We’ve considered Circupool and don’t really know enough to be sure on the brand. I followed a link from another thread that rated SWG. It led us to consider Circupool first, but then it was pointed out that the link could have a connection with Circupool, which...

I’m the one who maintains the pool, which is at my in-laws house not ours. I’m beyond tired of daily trips to add chlorine. My husband is ready to buy & install SWG for my benefit. He’s super handy with pretty much everything, but I’m the researcher. I’ve been reading in forums, etc….stopped...

Great, thanks all!

FC 1.0 PH 8.0 TA 110 CH 290 CYA 0 Temp 94 Recently my pool has been needing more than the usual LC. Tested CYA and it has dropped. I have a full bucket of trichlor pucks I purchased before discovering TFP. I'd like to use them to raise CYA but don't want to throw off my CH. I looked up...

What causes the CH to raise naturally?

FC 6.5 pH 7.6 TA 150 CH 310 #1 Ideal CH is 350-550. Should I raise mine? I've read other threads where it was suggested that test results be posted and help would be provided to give a suggestion for a specific pool. That's what I'm hoping for. Since I recently completed a drain to lower...

Ok. Thank you.

Is it OK to add calcium hardness increaser and liquid chlorine one right after the other without waiting for one to mix with the water first?

Awesome! Thanks for all the help I’ve received on this thread. I’m so grateful for the help to learn what I need to do to take care of the pool.
