My SWG is showing a salt reading of 2680 so it’s a solid red light but still producing Chlorine at a reduced rate. Testing my water a couple of times I am showing a salt reading of 3800. Also temperature reading is showing 109 on SWG when I’m actually 69. Would replacing the flow switch help...

my pool was completed April 2019 and I am still fighting PH levels. Hopefully this summer I'll see it different. I have a water feature with my spa spillover but i have the valves shifted so that no longer happens. I still regularly see 8.0 on my PH.

Let me give you the set up. I am not planning on closing my pool, but want to be ready in case I'm not as lucky in another winter storm. I've got a picture of my pool and equipment pad below. (the fenced in area on the far left of the picture-where the blue tarp is-equipment pad). My...

Just curious if this past storm is making any one re think closing their pool next winter? I've always kept mine open (2 winters so far), I've always liked having the attached spa available to use in the dead of winter, plus I'm just not a fan of those pool covers on half the year. However, this...

Very true And next door home office of Walmart

Progression of my frozen over pool, the last picture is today and I feel much less stressed out!

you have a beautiful pool. The fact that you have no ice on the surface of your pool probably means you will be just fine. I am barely surviving. Pump has been on 24/7, water temp at 33-34 and only non frozen surface on pool is where my return jets are. Good thing is no power outage here in...

I believe my 2 skimmers each with a half full plastic bottle of RV anti freeze has kept my skimmers from freezing over. Some of the best and most unique advice I got during all this.

Northwest Arkansas here. I am not out of the woods yet but still hanging in there, I have been frozen over (except 4 small open areas where returns are pointed) since Feb 13. Equipment pad is completely tarped, wrapped, and I Have a space heater that has been running for 3 days straight under...

I’m still running my pump...if I have to drain equipment how do I deal with the fact that my pad is downhill from my pool? Like 6 feet downhill. Wouldn’t it constantly be draining water...atleast from main drain? If I close the valve then I risk busting that pipe at the pad?

I made it ok last night which was about as cold as what tonight will be. My plan is to run my hose to the pool with hot/warm water for a while if i can. If I lose power i will drain everything.

The fact that you are even above 35 degrees at this point is a life saver. You should be fine. I'm holding strong at 33 degree water temp.

I'm hanging in there too with running the pump. I'm 80% iced over on surface but water is still moving at returns. Water temp is 33 and Air Temp is 2. I've been pouring warm water in the skimmers to make sure skimmers don't freeze.

For those of you in AR/TX/OK in this freeze there is hope! I'm in NW Arkansas. Air Temps in single digits to zero past few days. WInd Chills negative double digits. 4" of snow on ground. My Pool surface is about 80-90% covered by ice - except where my returns are hitting the surfaces. So far...

My Pool is about 80-90% covered by ice - except where my returns are hitting the surfaces. So far I am surviving, pump equipment tarped and space heater running 24/7. Water temp is 33, Air Temp is 1. Every hour or two i dump a bucket of hot water in the skimmer to make sure no ice accum in...

Thanks! All plaster here so no issues but nerve racking to see my surface with so much ice!!

NW Arkansas here, 6 degrees, snowy and wind chill in negative double digits. Pool surface is iced-except where return valves pointed to. Skimmers are getting water too. pump holding strong - double tarped equip pad, exposed pvc wrapped with insulation and small heater going. Every couple hours...

Marty was that really necessary!!! LOL :) 28 here

Just for 5-10 seconds at most. I realized it pretty much right away

I’m fairly handy and can turn off the breaker, so not afraid of trying to fix. I run the pump at 35-40 gpm (my equipment pad is downhill from pool). The pump date is 5/10/2018. I can’t recall the highest reading on pressure. But recently I was messing with the return valve and had turned it...

I have a leak at my pump where the "dry/wet" connection is. I tried to seal with with some flex tape (as you can see in photo) which was clearly not a good fix! It's a steady dribble of water when the pump is running near the base of that connection. I have included a few pictures so you have...
