    Low salt intex swg and low pressure intex sand filter

    Thank you. I've checked basket and suction no blockage. I've been running swg since I added salt. For 6 hrs a day like before I lost salt. I lost a lot of water over the side of the pool during the rain. Rained heavy for about3 hrs. Enough to flood my road

    Low salt intex swg and low pressure intex sand filter

    So we had a huge rain and had low salt reading. I tested and added proper amount 2 days later it still reads low salt and having hard time keeping up with chlorine even though we have not been swimming. Then all the sudden my sand filter has lower pressure than normal. I'm usually at 9 psi and...

    low salt intex swg

    Had a big rain and then my swg started saying low salt. I tested and added more salt. 2 days later still reading low salt and it is not keeping up with chlorine like it was before. Does it take this long for salt to register??

    Is it possible I did my fas dpd test wrong?

    Repeated my oclt. No loss at all and no Cc. Whew. Now I know for sure all that dirt on bottom is dirt. We get a lot of dust from our dirt road

    Is it possible I did my fas dpd test wrong?

    Ok will do. I find it odd that I would have algae after my fc is running at 10 in mid morning and my target is only 3-5.

    Is it possible I did my fas dpd test wrong?

    My scooper was caked with dry powder. Could having too much or too little powder effect my results? I tested last night and had 10.5 fc This morning at 8.5 fc. We recently switched over to swg. I ran out of powder for test 3 days into trying to figure out how long to run it. I know I at least...

    intex sand filter air bubble

    I was having that problem. Bleed the air and check all the hoses. One of my intake hoses was loose and also had a hole in hose. I had to replace it. So if your dog has chewed on hose like mine lol even a small hole can cause air

    So confused about intex swg

    Yeah we have pretty close to same weather. I'm in Oklahoma. I had 5fc last night and I ran it for 6 hrs it was 8 this morning. I'm on my last fas dpd chlorine test and cant order anymore for a bit. :( The rain is going to be an issue for me. Especially if I'm not at home. When it rains it pops...

    So confused about intex swg

    Well I ran it for 3 hours last night and only had 3 fc this morning :/ Is there a benefit to running during day or night? I had 5 fc right after we got out of pool last night so I'm assuming some of that was consumed by swimming. I did oclt 2 days ago and passed so I know its not algae. I...

    So confused about intex swg

    Ok. Id rather run it at night when I know for sure we won't be using pool. Its swimming temps at 8 am here lol I will supplement with chlorine until I set to run this evening. My ph has been staying at 7.5 all summer. I'm gonna test cya tonight and if I'm at 50 add 10 more. So when I test in...

    sand in bottom of pool could be algae

    I have sand and dust on bottom of my pool and I was freaking out about it being algae. But its not slimy and it vacuums up super easy...I did over night chlorine loss and it was at 1 but its still in back of my head that it could be algae. We live on dirt road and very dusty area. So I think...

    So confused about intex swg

    I'm so sorry for my constant questions. I've got it up and running but I'm confused about what fc I should be shooting for with set and what target I should have when I test before it comes on. I lose 3-4 a day sometimes more with liquid chlorine. Its normally 93-100 degrees here...105-108 with...

    Added salt this morning. Have questions

    How do I remove or disconnect? This is all new for me. So confusing! I set my run time for 2 hrs according to manual but I don't know if that's correct. I bumped my cya up to 50 but I can't test it until tomorrow to see what it actually is

    Added salt this morning. Have questions

    I only raised to 50 but says I need 80? Its ok to raise slowly over few days? I always end up overshooting when I do all at once or should I go ahead and add 20 more? Seems like I'm always 10 off

    Added salt this morning. Have questions

    So just use bleach today or today and tomorrow? My husband got in this morning after putting salt in and brushed and swam around stirring up salt. My cya was 40 so I added enough for 50 and ill test again after that is finished dissolving. Im so looking forward to not having to run out there and...
