    Hayward Robotic vs ????

    Five years on a TigerShark here. Only replaced the filters and did lose a tread due to getting hung on a return occasional hangs on the drain. If I had to do it again, I would still purchase the same thing. Does a good job and easy to clean/operate. Just my $ .02. Good Luck!! Sami

    Chlorine generation with less salt?

    Normal saline is 9000 ppm. Normal saline is used for eye wash, etc. The higher the salt, the higher the comfort level for eyes and membranes. Maybe a bit too much "thinking" than actual... Just my $ 0.02....

    Sudden Cloudy Water

    should be easy to get the FC level up easily. Just use pool calc and follow closely. Going to take a bit to get to shock level and keep it there, but should stop/kill any organic from exploding. Keep in touch!!!!!

    Sudden Cloudy Water

    I'm by no means a pro, but it sounds like the start of an algae bloom. FC looks to be a bit low for that CYA level. Let's see what the real pros have to say.
