Btw, a cost cutter for you guys would be buying ultraviolet solar salt for the water softeners.. it cannot have any additives which is why I recommend that brand. its roughly half the price of pool salt at almost $5 a bag... they are pellets but do get absorbed quickly as well. I've found no...

One problem I have had is the result of not running filter socks... I had to remove the outer screens (they have one screw and screw off), then I would put pantyhose or a filter sock around the inlets to keep debris out but where I could undo the sock and pull it all up quickly. This also helps...

we've only ran it the maximum of 12 hours as stated

Ours has never even been able to hit 8. the most it ever hit was 2.5ppm. Our generator they supplied just isnt enough to keep up. I also got told today that because i bought a spare part the window for warranty goes from 1 year down to 90 days. I just dont understand how you can not stand by...

Did some testing last night and found that our chlorine generator on boost and while only running at night provided only an additional 1.5ppm of chlorine. Its safe to say that it just cant keep up.

Glad to hear that!! Looks like we are going 30-45k as well then!!

Looks like we are going with the edge-25 by circupool. We figure it being oversized would help prolong life a little more and keep our chlorine levels up where we need them! Would it be a bad thing to oversize by slightly over 10k gallons?

Whoa!!! That's absolutely something I've been wanting to see. I really need to search on here more and dig. Sometimes it's hard to find stuff though as new posts tend to populate at the top. I really appreciate that!

I was looking at that chart previously but was unsure if needing to supplement our swg if I followed the swg chart or the liquid chart as much of it will be in fact liquid till our cells are warrantied

We are crystal clear here finally!! No blue or green tinge to anything at all Yep, we can and yes it has a really hard time keeping up especially when we have more than just our two kids in it. We are planning on upgrading to a pentair for a 20k pool when prices come down.. 1k to 1300 is rough...

Just passed our overnight test with 0 drop in chlorine (48 drops last night and 48 drops this morning) with CC at .5 and water that is most definitely more clear. It was a crazy process but I'll definitely be doing that as a first when not seeing super high levels of calcium, etc... although...

Same here 😅😅😅

Whoa!!! We've never hot 92 in ours. I mean granted with being mountain desert we get huge tem swings between night and day and with our location we average 40-60mph winds once night comes or even a cold front.. when we don't have storms coming usually we hover at 80. But it will be 90-100 during...

I left the CYA where it was and started slamming last night. So far I'm about 7gals of liquid chlorine in and our CC is hovering between 1 and .5. our water is really starting to clear up now. Not like the crystal clear we see from some on here but much more clear to the point we can see our...

Oh wow!! I love it!! We added a skimmer this year just to see if it would work and the intex one doesn't do half bad at all. We knew after the first year we wanted to upgrade the filter, pump, and swg as we would see small particles, that the leaf rake would miss. It's still in the works as well...

I appreciate that fully, you really don't know how nice that is to hear. Our pool store, I had a feeling was full of it and I see it so much more now. Listening to them and the recommendations absolutely killed our pool the last few years. I am in the process of slamming now as we had definitely...

Gotcha, I will start this today. I totally misread the chart on the slam page too. I saw you say 28 but I was looking at the SWG chart for some reason hahahaha

Exactly what I was thinking!! I just edited to ask this too. Should I replace water to drop my CYA level down to between 30 and 40 as well?

Ok, where do i start haha. We were told by usps that our TF100 kit was delivered so, I looked in the mailbox and nothing. Package receptacles and nothing. So, I contacted TF test kits and they stated they would send another. Low and behold I had a neighbor from the subdivision next to us that...

That would be a great idea. we don't plan on burying either though haha

If you watch his video, at the end there is another video that pops up in the queue that shows a good way to cut the liner for other upgrades you may have in mind.

Absolutely haha I know for sure I can't use DWV or anything cell core. I've done hvac for a living so I know just enough to be dangerous.. That was why I asked if you used 80 or 40. When I do mine I will go 40 then. I'll more than likely paint or add UV protectant though as our UV up here is...

did you use schedule 40 pvc or schedule 80? I know 80 is more resistant to sunlight however, a lot more expensive

well shoot, I have fittings research to do now haha. I didnt realize hayward sold the fittings too!! I would rather be on an industry standard for sure though! I have no problems cutting my liner as I've watched easily 50 videos where people do.

I really like that!! How did you connect into the pool though? that's going to be my biggest problem I think as I will have to cut out the tubes they have for them because I have those little strainers that sit there.

yes, we have the intex automatic. It does pretty dang good provided I keep up properly with cleaning. If I let it get overwhelmed then it doesn't do well but, it picks up all the stuff our manual vacuum will not i.e. the heavy particles of sand that the kids drag in here and there. But, I also...

the first 2 years we had ours up we didn't see any rust really. Even when we we had to take it down due to collapse. The insides of the pools were coated extremely well.

We've honestly been looking at a lot of hayward items. They seem to be of great quality and hold up a lot better. Unfortunately Looking at what I want for turnover rate means I'll probably have to ditch the standard intex tubing for possibly 2" piping. We have a feeling already that we need a...

oh wow!! Love it!! I read that on here but never found this chart either.

Absolutely makes sense ugh. I wish I'd have realized that earlier, I feel like a dum dum now. We do not have a basement here in pueblo and a lot of use don't, it's more common up north near the springs and Denver area. We do have our laundry room for sure though with space being tight, I'll...
