When do I know it is time to replace my filter cartridges? I had no trouble with my water chemistry this year, my pressure gauge never increased. I did my typical mid season cleaning and I am cleaning now. By cleaning, I mean I use the hose at a 45 degree angle on the inside and out until the...

I usually bought muriatic acid at Lowe’s - I can only find the Klean strip green - but I cannot find the concentration. Where do others buy it and what is the concentration? THANK YOU ALL!!

The plates look brand new. Literally. I have never had build up on them - ever. Its kind of crazy. I don't know why - but I haven't. I inspect as needed every season and they have always looked perfect. I will for a ninth season then ...

Minimal salt is 2800, max 3600. I should have clarified - I always maintain about 3200 .... but I have a bit of time on the salt addition as the water temp is between 56-59 ish right now. Thank you - as always - for confirming. I have been here for a long time but still need that little nod...

I opened to zero chlorine but blue, slightly cloudy water (very minimal green in corners or along edge). I started SLAM Thursday evening and passed OCLT the past two nights (I like to confirm for two nights). Opening numbers pH - 7 FC/CC/TC - 0 CYA - 30 TA 30 salt 2400 I corrected pH to 7.2...

I installed my SWG in 2014. I Have not had to replace my cell yet. How long do they last and how will I know? I am assuming it is as simple as chlorine levels dropping with no explanation??

I have a pool company coming today to blow the lines and place my safety cover. I brought my pool up to SLAM over two weeks ago and have had the SWG off since then and the FC is still 10. (CYA is 50). Is this FC level OK for the polyquat and closing? TYIA

Sounds good!! Thank you!!

Due to the heavy rainfall from Ida - my CYA has dropped down to 40. Is it worth it to raise it back up this late in the season? I typically close mid to late October. TYIA for your help

Margaret was fantastic. Inventory was low there as well as many other stores. I ended up with the Prowler 930W from Marina Pool. Fedex tracking says Friday :)

Good morning! There is or was a robot thread with a link to a Colorado (?) store for purchasing it. Can this be linked here again? Thank you. If anyone has a strong suggestion - let me know. I think many on here are a fan of the Maytronics found in the above mentioned thread. As always TYIA...

Thank you! That was my thought and greatly appreciate the validation.

Good morning, Monday evening my pump was running and was quite loud. I had normal pressure on the pressure gauge on the filter and water was being circulated. On Tuesday, pump motor was running, no pressure on the pressure gauge and water was not being circulated. Once the pump was taken...
