Thanks!

First full winter with our pool just want to verify my process. The water temp is around 48 so the SWCG is off. At the moment my CYA is 60 (it’s come down from the 70 it was in summer when the SWCG was running) so should I keep my FC at the 7-9 target range for a non-SWCG pool as opposed to the...

I will try doing a comparison of the tips again using the same process to let the drop form and And drop see what happens

Sorry for not responding sooner. Here is what I found. I swapped the tip from the old bottle to the new bottle and my CH went from 800 to 650. I tested the water going through my autofill with the old top and it’s 175. This is exactly what it was a couple months ago. Also just to add last Feb...

Yep using a speedstir. I don’t think anything has changed in my process from when I was using the original bottle of r-0012 reagent to this new bottle. Doing everything noted in your post, vertical bottle and no squeezing, etc. I was using the original bottle for maybe 5 months since I don’t...

Awhile ago I ordered some replacement solutions from Tftestkits and one in particular has me puzzled. It’s the R-0012 for the CH. With the original solution that came with my TF-100 I was getting a reading of around 525. Now when using the new solution it’s coming in around 800. Any thoughts...

Thanks!!

Will be turning off my SWCG here in the next month. As far as CYA and FC levels do I then treat it as a non- SWCG pool? I will be exchanging some water at that time to bring my CH down which I think will impact my CYA, salt, etc. So, if it does bring them down and assuming the CYA is then more...

Thanks. I’ll take it off and see what I can see

Thanks. Would I unscrew the cap on the side to see the blades? mark

Any tips on cleaning the Jandy Aquapure 1400 cell? After removing it from the plumbing I’m guessing I need to also remove both the cap on the side with flat grey cable along with the black plug with the round black cable. Do I just set it in a 5 gal bucket with a mixture of 1 part acid to 4 of...

Yes it’s the one Costco sells made by Yardisty. I bolted mine down to the concrete patio using screw in cement anchors

Yes it’s a 12’x12’ gazebo from Costco. It’s made by yardistry. We really like it. We ran power to it that comes up through one of the posts. Added a 4 gang box at the top of the post where 3 of the outlets are hot and one is controlled by a switch. Mounted a 32” flat screen tv to the post and...

Here is ours. Just completed

Thanks!

New to all this and have a question regarding my FC level. I’ve been running our SWG at 20% with a pump run time of 6 hrs keeps my FC around 5. CYA is 70. The grandkids came over along with us using the pool and my FC dropped down to 4. Is it ok to add some chlorine bring my FC back up to my...

Thanks Chris. The pool builder installed the SWG but getting him out to get the SWG running has been hard especially now with the virus thing going on. He had left the gallon of liquid cya as well as 3 bags of salt so I think I’m good. At some point If I need to add more cya I will use the...

Found in my Jandy Aqualink PDA under Main Menu I see a BOOST where I can run the Chlorinator at 100% for 24 hours and a SET AquaPure option where I can set the %. It looks like those might be the only functions available from the handheld PDA.

Thanks. CH is actually 500 but to get to 400 still requires about 20% so as you suggest just live with it until it comes down over time. In the future I'll use powdered CYA.

Thanks. I'll hold off on the CYA until I can get the CH down. I'm hoping to get it down within the next week or so. What I've been doing is using soft water to top off the pool along with any rain we've gotten and that has brought it down from the 650 level to where it is now. When I test my...

Hi, Looking for some advice on starting up my SWG for the first time. This is a new pool completed on Dec. 19. Water temps are now consistently above 65 degrees and when the sun is out and the solar running will get up above 70. To date, I've been using 10% liquid chlorine but would like to...

Thanks. Maybe I should then drop the water about 6” or so and refill with the soft water to see what that buys me and then go from there

Thanks. I have a separate spigot outside as well that I can tap for soft water. For now I’ll keep an eye on my water chemistry and when a need to add water to top off the pool I’ll use the soft water and then monitor my CH to see if it’s going down.

Thanks. I’ll keep an eye on the levels. I do have a water softener hooked up to the house water (it’s not connected to the pool auto fill). When I need to add water should I use the soft water then temporarily?

We decided to let the Pb do an acid bath to resolve an issue we were having with our quartz plaster pool. So far the treatment has had a positive effect however since the acid bath a few weeks ago the CH has risen from around 250 to a stable 650. My total alkalinity has stabilized at around 80...
