My golden hates the pool, because it's not muddy! But will sunbathe next to it!

Yesterday I installed the replacement CircuPool controller that was covered under warranty. I had the FC level at 5 when I installed the new controller. Today I tested and my FC was at 9. I had set my controller at 37% output. I need to turn down the chlorine output! SWG is the only way to go. I...

My pool today!

I'm adding liquid chlorine and testing as my SWG control quit working on Monday. Control is in for warranty repair and I'm having to do the manual stuff to keep my pool crystal clear until I get the control back and hooked up!🙁

Thanks. Yes I'm dosing with bleach for now. Called CircuPool and we determined the control was the problem. Several of the power LEDs would flicker and by taping on the panel, it started producing FC. My system is under warranty. So shouldn't cast anything to get is fixed.

My Circupool Edge 25 has been performing perfectly for the last year and a half. Monday morning I noticed the water was not sparkling like normal. I tested water. FC was only 1.5 when normal levels are 3-5. My CYA was low at 40 so added to bring it up to 70 where it normally is. I added bleach...

I'm seeing the same thing on my fiberglass pool. Below the normal waterline, the gel coat had lightened up and is rougher than above the waterline. I've been following TFP for 2 of the three years I've had the pool and with a SWG for the last year. I guess this is normal for a fiberglass pool.

Welcome to TFP! This site has helped me tremendously, getting my pool under control and converting to SWG. Now my pool is almost maintenance free, except for occasional vacuuming and water additions and of course testing the water about twice a week!

I just did the SWG conversion 2 weeks ago. I took out the tab feeder and installed the CircuPool Edge 25 and flow meter in its place. The SWG is powered from the pump side of the timer. My pump runs 24/7 on low speed and with the SWG set for 12.5% so far has kept my FC at ~5-6 ppm. My pool has...

Thank you TFP! Got my pool balanced before July 4th. Had a pool party planned. I boosted the FC to 8 that morning. With about 15-20 people in the pool all day and 100 degree day, this morning’s FC level was 3 and pool was sparkling clear! 😎😎 Brought FC up to 8. All is good!

My My pump runs 24/7. Installers wired it for low speed and the mechanical timer switches it to high speed for 3 hrs a day to run the Polaris pool sweep.

The pool installer never installed the weir door. It’s still in a drawer in my garage!

My pool is fiberglass, very smooth with no square corners and has been brushed many times during the slam. I’ve taken the LED light out and scrubbed the niche. I’ve scrubbed the skimmer. Even taking the outside trim off. I’ve run the water feature for 2 days during the slam to flush that portion...

I’m getting close to being done with SLAM! Only lost 3 ppm FC in OTLC last night. Water is crystal clear and has been thru entire SLAM and CC is 0.

My pump runs 24/7 so is well mixed. Thanks. Just bumped FC up to 15.5. It’s partly cloudy today so not intense sun on the pool. Yet!🤣
