Alright made a mistake 🤦‍♂️ I added 50lb bags instead of 40lb bags of salt so 150lbs to much salt. RJ-60 says salt levels should be between 3-4000. Current levels after running all night 4500. I do have the proper salt test kit that is recommended here. Do I need to replace 25% of my pool I just...

Hey everyone just got a new liner installed after 14 years with the old one. Looking for advice on the process of getting my numbers back where they need to be once full or while filling. I've never done a full fill before and we are doing it with our well (which is how it was filled with the...

Ive got everything I need to clean the cell but can't figure out how to get the water out of the cell before I take it off 🤔 I turned the pump off and nothing...I feel like I'm missing something😄 THANKS!

Hey everyone. Feeling a bit overwhelmed. I just had a CircuPool RJ60 installed (converting to a SWG) and at the same time the pool guy said I have mustard algae growing. I thought it might have just been pollen but I really knew it wasn't :/ but my water is only 45 degrees so how can it be...

Hey guys I'm tired of doing the liquid chlorine thing with our pool. We would like to switch over to a SWG but have no idea what brand or kind we need. I've heard going to a SWG is way less maintenance and daily level checking. We have a 36,000gallon in ground pool. Where do I start and what are...

Anyone heard of these micro bubble solar covers? Deheny's is claiming it will absorb 25% more warmth from the sun for your pool. I'm here in the NW and 25% more would be great! I can't find any reviews on google about them so I'm thinking its a new thing so I thought I would ask where people...

I had a pool guy come by the house and give the run down for a few things I needed to get done and he told me how to do them all my self pretty easily ? so I also told him I was looking at getting a 400btu heater but he said to go with a much smaller one to save $2-3k on the front side and that...

Crud!!!!! Algae again :mad: Had it all clear with a successful SLAM almost 2 months ago and now its back bigger a badder than before. Only good thing is that our swim season is over here in the Pacific NW without a heater. I've been on top of my levels everyday since the last SLAM so I'm not...

I’ve started to look at winter covers for our first winter with our new house that has a 20’x40’ unground pool and I noticed it’s recommended to have a cover that has 5’ of overlap on all sides....every side of our pool has something that would keep us from having anymore than a foot at best...

Ok so still in my first summer as a pool owner and all was great until a couple weeks ago we had a week of rain and I noticed my chlorine levels dropping. I’ve got them back up but then back off to normalize my chlorine input and down goes FC. ? Here are my current numbers as of 5 min ago. I...

Anyone know of a good pool repair company in western Washington? I’m up in Snohomish county. I’m not sure how many there are around here that are any good or if they would travel a couple hours...my pool liner has slightly pulled away from the edge a little and I lose a couple inches of water...

After raising my pH my TA is high (100) and the Pool Math App wants me to lower my ph back down where it was and then aerate to raise the pH level....What’s the best way to aerate?

Question for you all...my pool equipment is working great. It’s 30 years old though. At what point should I be looking a updating all the pumps, filter system etc. to get the newer more energy efficient equipment? Is the cost worth the energy efficiency? How much does something like this cost...

So I think we’ve finally decided to take out the hand railing going into the pool by the steps. The problem is it’s concreted in not bolted. So once we cut it off what’s the best way to fill in the cut out area? Thanks!

I went to the local pool place today and he told me that a Solar Pool Heater here in Washington is a waste of money and that I need a real pool heater. Not sure what I think of this guy yet but he had some good points. He’s a salesman at heart ?? So I would like to research propane pool heaters...

So here are my first levels I have ever run in the pool for the house we are moving into May3rd. I will check on it weekly between now and then. Where should I be keeping these levels? How do they look? The targets are what the app automatically generated. The previous owner had targets of FC...

Is it worth it getting a solar heater installed here in western Washington? I’ve done some research and it sounds like it will extend your pool season a month on each side to include April and October. Does anyone in Washington have any first hand knowledge of this? Thanks! ?

Is there a product that allows you to look at an app on your phone and get the numbers you need to regulate you pool in real time? Something that may be plugs in-line with your pump and filter? Just curious if this is even a thing. Thanks! :)

We just bought a house from some friends that have an in ground pool ? we close on May 1. I look forward to this forum as we are pool newbies. Any good threads that I can be directed to on a good maintenance schedule? Daily, weekly, monthly, weekly, etc.? Thanks!
