    Can't get new VSP pump (lid?) to seal, large air pocket forms over hours (video linked)

    I agree, if I run mine at a lower speed it has an air pocket also.

    Homedepot will usually deliver for around $35 which isn’t bad because you maybe need 10 to 15 bags

    Just got SWG installed! How to get started

    How are you testing salt? Get a taylor 1766 is don’t already have one and add salt little at a time to make sure you do t get too high. Usually 24 hours is enough to mix it good and retest. You will love it once up and running, takes a few weeks to get it stable at the desired FC ( aim higher...

    Salt

    If you need a lot of salt for a new setup Homedepot will deliver it for $35 ( or did for me. I ordered 18 bags and drive a Honda civic so worth it. Also walmart will deliver salt if you’re a walmart + member but only get Morton not Clorox.

    Leave SWG plugged in? Not sure

    On the question when I would do it now so any bugs ( hopefully none ) can be worked out and ready for next year. You won’t regret getting one, imagine checking your chlorine on Monday and it’s 7.0 and going out of town for a week and coming back and it’s still 7.0

    Considering SWG

    And the warranty is only good if the company backs it up and I had issues getting my Edge Cell replaced when it died early. What I have learned here is some similar systems had issues with high salt and even if they fixed it when they " make a similar" system I don't let my salt get above 3200...

    Clorox salt and Iron

    I have seen worse stains form salt but still concerning. Our Walmart has Morton in the spring so will have to get a few bags to keep around. Those shopping carts don't push very well with 120 pds of salt in them :)

    Clorox salt and Iron

    I do like how it looks like table salt and pours and dissolves fast

    Clorox salt and Iron

    I tried a couple bags a couple months back since Walmart will deliver it with Walmart plus and had no issues. So thought great lets get more since we had a ton of rain and mine is low again but this time I got stains :( I have the inyo which looks a lot like the hayward so keep it close to 3000...

    Polaris P360 Hose Breaking

    Picture of the pool pad should help. Wondering if you just got a bad piece of hose? Seems that even of the pressure was high the pressure relief valve would protect it. Might take that valve off and see if its stuck closed?

    Polaris P360 Hose Breaking

    If I remember right it’s a swivel every 7’ but can’t remember how many floats they suggest. I have a float on every piece of hose so also about 7 or 8’ apart. Is strange the hose is leaking, they are pretty tough. Is your connection before or after the filter?

    SWCG Tuning

    Even if it shortens the life some I finally came to realize it still a lot cheaper then adding liquid Chlorine. Or worse it turns green and then our buying a lot of it :) Plus if you calculate the power draw it cost you around 25 cents a day

    Price Of Circu Pool Edge 40

    I had the edge 40 and ran great for about 3 1/2 years and the cell went bad. My pool was 23000 gallon and it put out more than enough. Was a little disappointed it failed that quickly

    SWG Plug-In Option

    I ran a separate 120v outlet off the same leg as my pump since my pump and swg run 24x7. That way if I have some weird power issue they both should turn off. I also have a smart plug so in late fall when I run the pump less I can also control my Swg. It’s not perfect and guess the breaker...

    Question on wear/tear on equipment and pool

    I am away from my pool for 2 weeks and have ZERO concerns about it. I have family checking in but have been gone for 3 weeks at a time and FC was 7 when I left and 7 when I got back and the water was perfect. Plus once you swim in a salt pool you will never want a tablet feeder again, Liquid is...

    Weird tingling "feeling" ?

    There are a few threads about electrical issues and some of the electrician folks can chime in. I know enough to say until you know it’s not electrical stay out or be extremely careful. First test would be kill all power ( breaker if possible ) to the pool or spa and see if it stops.

    New Install Questions - Circupool RJ60+

    I run my FC at around 10 and my CYA around 70. Gives me a little buffer incase something happens. I have mine on a smart plug and found out it was acting up and had been off all day but I was still good

    New Install Questions - Circupool RJ60+

    I thought I was the only one that did stuff like that! Now I am the opposite and have enough parts and valve to build a pool. When I glued my SWG union on it started falling off ( didn’t let it dry long enough ) when I attached the cell. I propped it up and pushed it on and hoped it would be...

    Cell/Controller thinks I have way less salt than I do

    Might email Circupool or discount salt and ask. I know the Edge has the same power supply for a 3 different size cells. Hard to say regarding sales, discount salt seems to always run some sort of “ upgrade” sale.

    FC & Vacation Question

    And enjoy vacation and don’t worry about the pool :) worse case is ( unless you’re going to Maui ) is you have a green pool and have to do a SLAM but you have a good plan.

    New to this form, Need Variable Speed Motor Conversion advise Please

    Here is a cool site somebody shared here to calculate energy cost. https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/energy-cost-calculator.html I switched a few years back and it was noticeable for sure. Another benefit is VS pumps are a lot quieter.

    Walmart plus and salt delivery

    I needed 25 pds of calcuim and it was about the same price on WM as Amazon and shipped about as quick. My prime expires in December and will decide if I keep both or not.
