I just purchased the intex sand filter and Im thinking why not get a robot now that I have the power to. The manual vacuum does a great job with the sand pump but I hate messing with the hose and getting it primed. I was thinking of getting pool rover jr, but its as much as I paid for the...

And All I can say is WOW!!! They should of packaged these with it. Very easy to set up as well. Now here is my ? I have the Intex Swg as well and by the pool school you should run your pump for 8hrs with swg system. In the manual it says I should run it 5 hours for my pool. Which one...

Which one do you all recomend. I love my tf100 kit. Im currently using salt water strip test kits and they seem to be doing a great job. Just they are 12 dollars for only 10 of them at local pool store.

I have had swg sytem for about 3 weeks now. I love it to say the least. I had not checked my salt in about a week. It had been staying around 2900, but tonight it was 2500. Why I dont know. I havent lost any water. have gained some cause of rain. I added approximately 16lbs of salt to get...

I am confused on some things and would like to know if a few things will affect consumption of chlorine. When I first started my abg pool i had a cya of around 60 and would run my fc at night up to about 10 or 11 by night night i would be around 2. Needless to say i was adding bleach like...

Ok i have a easy set 18x48 pool and because of help from this site and all its members I have got the pool bug. lol. When I first got it i was like this is huge. Then I made the mistake of going to a pool party and swimming in a real pool. Not that the intex isnt. If it holds water and you...

I got two bags of this stuff. Is there any reason for it. Says to add it weekly. I'm figuring some more bs

I was thinking of doing it at night, or should I do it during the day.

Im starting a swg system and my alkalinity was 150 when i started. I lowerd ph to 7.2 and it got down to 110. need it around 80. this has been for a day now. I am aerating now to get ph back up or should I keep it low so alk will come down more. How do I get it to come down more?

I got the magnetic stirer. And I must say it is a must have. I test everything in the vial that it came with. I was wandering if that was ok being the one vial that cqme with my test kit says chlorine only

I was testing this morning how much my chlorine dropped over night and got two completely different results back to back. I was at 10Fc before i went to bed and when I tested at sun up I was at seven. My first reaction was Im going to have to shock for sure. I decided to check it again...

Im thinking of buying one of these and i read in the pool school that you need to run pump for atleast 8hrs. Is that the pump or the Swg generator. Most people said that they only need to run generator a couple hours a day to keep chlorine right.

My surface skimmer does good on my 18foot intex easy set pool. I thought of running it all the time but was wandering if it would filter water on bottom as well.

At cya of 50 pool calculator says shock level is 16 but in pool school it says 20. I have been using 16.

I have been messing with cya trying to not use as much bleach. I raised cya from 40 to 60 and seems like im using more bleach now than before. I had to ad 61oz of bleach tonight and 57oz last night to around 4000 to 4500 gallons of water. that seems like alot to me.. I thought i was using...

The manual says to run it for 6 hour with 1500 gal pump. Is that long enough. Haven't had any issues. But trying not to have any. Lol

Im debating on uprading from the 1500gal pump to the 2500 but dont know if i really need to. My water is clean and have had no Issues, but just kicking the idea around that it would be alot better. What do you all think? upgrade or spend money on something else?

I think I may be using to much fc through the day. Here are my numbers last night. Fc 8.5 Cc.5 Ph. 7.6 to 7.8 usually Ta 120 Cya 40. These my numbers have been pretty consistent every night. Did drop test just stortly after sun up and fc was 8.0. That should be good but Everytime I check...

I have been using the drop test with the powder everynight to check my Fc. After reading instructions it says you should do that test once a week and use the OTO one daily. After seeing how much of the powder I have and how much it cost im thinking I shouldnt use it as much or will be out...

I noticed when I dont have my skimmer running that in the morning there are these white crystal looking things floating on top of water. You can barely see them. I turn skimmer on and they are gone. I have 0 trees near my house. My buddy has the same thing in his pool. I have AG pool. its...

I was told that they have some kind of chemical that you can put in your water to keep the bugs from landing in it. I dont really believe that is possible but who knows. Has anybody heard of it and does it work?

I am new to pools and just getting started with the bbb method. so far my pool looks great, but seems like im buying a lot of bleach. Is it really that much cheaper to use bleach then just normal chlorine. I get 1.42 gal bleach at walmart for 2.50 at 6%. I can get agua chem for around 6...
