    Why didn't my calcium drop?

    Hi, When the pool was closed last November the water level was dropped at least 16 inches and the solid loop loc cover put on. Starting in Feb, I started pumping the snow melt and rain from the cover into the pool to start filling it up. I did this with the hopes of dropping my calcium level...

    Does Polaris pump need to be on for freeze protection?

    Hi, My system was setup to turn on the Polaris pump during freeze protection mode. Since water is always running through it anyway, I would think I don't need to burn all that electricity. Would you agree?
