It does say "water ps open". I've tried running vsp at highest setting and it still "short cycles".

Heard what sounded like short cycling back at pool equipment pad. Found heater having a "sw open" error. Did some googling. I've cleaned sand filter which I knew wasn't an issue because I had just done it. Both skimmers seem to be pulling water in just fine so I'm just assuming the switch is...

Update......so got new salt cell at end of last year just installed when opened pool. Within 24 hours we had the white powder all over any flat surface. So the only thing we haven't done is replace the water. So I'm not comfortable draining totally and then refilling. So we're gonna drain and...

@JoyfulNoise if the calcium is "falling or coming out of the water" wouldn't it show the calcium level decreasing over time? Even if I tested in-between water top offs?

I had similar issue. My issue is because of way PB installs piping. They create a back pressure issue if my bubblers are not open. If they are closed then my return basket will not fill up, as soon as I open the bubblers basket fills immediately.

Might be a dumb question but ......is it ok to use pool salt that has sat around and gotten hard as a rock?

I added this per instructions and my FC went up 2.2 overnight with swg off. Bottle doesn't like ingredients. Do you know if there's chlorine in it?

The bubbles stop and start with the salt cell being turned on and off. Could it just he a bad salt cell?

@JamesW it doesn't do it with salt cell off, so I don't believe it's chemical reaction. I'm currently slamming and it doesn't react with the LQ.

Yes, it appears from a distance as either foam or oil if at different angles. But if you get in pool and are directly in the bubbles that are on top you can see that there just "strings" of tiny bubbles hooked together.

The eyes are about the size of a thumb....I've taken them out and it just looks like a fog coming out. Super super fine bubbles.

I tried adjusting it down from the 1750 and it didn't change. I'll try again. I ran VSP last year at 2750 and it never had these bubbles. Guess I could create 1 post that describes all my issues from this year as I has 0 issues last year (it's 1st year).

Lowest setting on VSP is 1750. Also creates bubbles on top of water.

Your saying it's normal? They fill the entire pool of tiny suspended bubbles that make water look cloudy. Seems extreme.
