Water from the tap has a CH of 100. I just refilled my pool, but I'm SLAMing out of an abundance of caution. Before refilling my pool, there were about 100 gallons left that my sump could not pump out. That existing water started to grow algae. I decided to SLAM to take care of it.

Hi, I'm currently slamming my pool. My target FC level is 28. Is it true that with high FC levels, PH readings are not accurate? I'm curious because I need to lower my TA, but I can't do that without accurate PH readings. Is it possible to SLAM and lower TA at the same time? Also, my CH is 100...

Thanks

Is anyone else having this issue with tftestkits website? Happens on my phone, computer and a buddies phone and computer.

Hello all, I'm in the process of draining a portion of my pool to correct for high my pool to for high CH. My question is... I understand that the ideal CH is between 350-550 and recommended is between 250-650. I assume it's best to drain enough water for a target CH of 250. Is that accurate? Thanks

Roger that, thx.

I do indeed

Hello everyone, Towards the end of last year, I started to get this staining above the water line in my pool. I accidentally let my CH get too high because I wasn't doing the test correctly and I believe that's what led to my problem. I'm curious if anyone has a solution to remove this staining...

I can't explain that all summer long adding 14-16 drops of R-0012 is what it took to achieve full blue. My fill water as of last week (which wasn't much different than my previous results). PH 8.3 TA 160 CH 225 FC .5 CC .5

I'm using city water that is not softened. Out of the tap, it averages CH of 225.

Good to know. I was just following what the app told me to do.

I'm using the Taylor test kit. On my last test, the color did not change to full red at 5 drops. It was also noticeable that 6 drops were not required to make the final change to red. Resulting in my reading of 55.

Hello all, This is my first pool so it's also my first time transitioning to fall. In the last few weeks, I've had to do two doses of baking soda to raise my TA. I presume this is due to less evaporation which equals less auto-fill. My city water on average has a TA of 160. So during the summer...

That's great news. Thank you

My SWG runs for 18hrs a day. While my pool has been stable, I was only going to adjust my CYA because TFP suggests a higher amount which requires more FC. Are you suggesting that I keep it where it is? Thanks

Hello, I'm curious what adjustments I can expect to make to my SWG while adding CYA to my pool. Current levels: CYA-50-55 FC-5-5.5 SWG output 30% My target numbers are: CYA-80 FC-6 My question is: Will adding CYA and keeping my output the same result in higher FC? Is it possible I will have to...

Roger that. I've got the standards tests coming in the mail. Thanks

Thank you.

I'm unsure what my daily loss is as I just had my SWG installed, and I'm fine-tuning it. It also doesn't help that we've had multiple cloudy days as well. Without the SWG I had to float 2-3 tabs and also use liquid chlorine maybe 10oz every other day or so.

Hi there, This is my first year with a pool... I've been religiously having my water test done at my local pool store while also testing my water using my TF-PRO kit. I was doing this initially to compare the results. Now that I'm comfortable doing the home test, it's time to decide what to do...

Yes, boric acid from Duda. Thank you

Hello, I'm curious if there's any reason why I can't go ahead and add borates to my pool while I'm still working on lowering my TA to 60. I've gotten it down from 140 to 100. Should I just hold odd until my TA is at 60 or can I go ahead and add the borates. Thanks Jeff

Hi Jim, Quick question.. The top circuit breaker is my filter pump breaker. Looking at the diagram it appears to me that the filter pump breaker and the SWG breaker should both be wired to the filter pump relay. I don't have ANYTHING wired to the filter pump relay. Thank you Jeff

Roger that. Thank you Jeff

Thank you Jim, Are you aware of a specific Youtube video or an actual picture of correct wiring? I can certainly study the diagram on the panel but I'd feel more comfortable if I could actually see it wired correctly. Also, I have three little breakers inside my panel that are visible without...
