Very excited to have the pool finished today! Pool company put some chlorine in the pool and said it would be good to use and the maintance team will be over on Friday morning to explain everything. I have purchased 9 bags of salt and was wondering if these should go in now or if I should...

Do you have a cover? what speed do you run the pump?

What test kits do you uese? I think the ones here are a little harder to find in Canada? The pump they have propsoed for me I beleive is 3HP. Based on the other equipment mentioned above would you reccomend upgrading anythign else?

Thanks and good to know. You turn off the pump at 1am till 7am? Would you recceomend a larger pump or do you think the one I have will be enough? How often do you have to chech the pool chemistry to know what to do? Sorry for all the questions, i've never owned a pool before.

Would this be the same if it was a chlorine pool?

So if i had a schedule that ran the pump at the same speed when we used the pool and had the cover of I can just manually adjust the SWG then when i close the cover I manually adjust the SWG? Is this what everyone does who has a salt water pool with a cover?!

I would advised on here not to get an automati chlorinator. Would this still be the case?

So it sounds like this is something i really need? I thought going for SWG would make maintance easier but I didnt relise the cover would make a difference. Would this be the best option...

Im not sure as this is our first pool. We are not getting automation but have been told we can set a schedule for the pump speed. plesae can you explain how the auto cover affects this and what we need to do? thanks

Hi All, We are getting closer and the pool company have propsoed these items as equipment for our new salt water pool. I'm not sure if I have an option to change/choose our own equipment so can you let me know if these items are reccomended here or if there are changes/upgrades we should be...

Hi All, Our landscape company is installing the coping. we have a 16ft x 24 ft pool with a pool cover that is sunken flush and will be covered by coping too. Our stone coping comes as 4ft long pieces. How would this normally be laid? I would assume you run 4 pieces along the width and then 6...

Thanks to this group we are changing our order from chlorine to salt water system. Please can you advise best equipment if we have a choice: Someone mentioned a Raypack Cupro Nickle heater as best for salt system, a Pentair sand filter and Haywood low salt cell. Is it important to purchase...

Thanksfor you help and explanations, you have all convinced me not to go with the chloring and 02 system and have pushed back against the pool company. They are sending me a change order and I have requested the make and specs for the new equipment. As it seems they are not pro salt, please can...

What is trichlor and when will i know if i will be using it?

Thanks that is very helpful. I'll speak to the pool company and tell them I want to change the system to a SWCG system before they install. They have installed all the pipes and tubes alreardy so hopefully it wont be a big issue. Is it still better removing the automatic chlorinator and...
