    Ready for my first SWG

    Probably next year's project. But the plan is to build a lean-to over the equipment and extend the concrete. Both ends will be open, and the sun facing side will be chain link fence with privacy screen to keep the sun off my equipment.

    Ready for my first SWG

    Well i knew I did not have enough room if I just cut the chlorinator out and knowing me I'll get it Wednesday and all be out here all night trying to install it. Better to get it some of it figured out this weekend. Cutting out the 90s also improved my flow.

    Ready for my first SWG

    I did as much as I could today to prepare for it. So now all I will have to do is cut the pipe and glue it in. Then the flow switch. Oh and electrical.. I may look into that tomorrow.

    Pool Heater Suggestion in North Texas

    Not sure what your climate is, I live in the desert and we see lots of 100 degree days. Currently we are in the 70s to low 80s, with nighttime highs of 40s. I have a heat pump and love it because I can have my pool up to 85 by memorial weekend. I could sooner but no one seems to want to swim...

    It's ironic that you suggested 15 gallons. That's what fits in the walmart cart. 5.57 a gallon in WA state. What's next.

    Update Just tested again for fun until my fas-dpd arrives. FC = 0, TC = 3, PH = 7.6, and TA = 180 Can I use trichlor tabs in my chlorinator and add bags of calcium hypochlorite until Monday?

    Question about the test kit. I was comparing the k-2005 to the k-2006c, so correct me if I am wrong. The only differences that I can find is that the 2006c comes with the FAS-DPD kit (which I have ordered) and the bottles that the 2006c comes with are larger. It appears I can just buy the...
