Our winters are very short, but there is a few weeks that the SWG is no longer producing because of the lower water temperature. I also find in the spring I have to end up adding quite a bit of CYA to bring the levels up. Because of these two factors I'm considering utilizing some chlorine...

So with the current heat the pool has gotten into the 90s (based on the SWG, above ground pipes). Because of this we've started looking into potentially how to bring the temperature down. The pool has two pumps, one that runs the majority of the system, and one that purely runs a waterfall...

After evicting mickey and minnie from our max e therm, I had to resolder the wires to the high limit switch and the thermister and a yellow wire off the control board. After this I put some chicken wire up on the upper vents, and then stuffed a bunch of steel wool into the front and rear...

Still learning with this pool. Hadn't realized I could reduce the pool pump running time during the "winter" when the temperature of the water dropped below 55 degrees, as the SWG would stop producing chlorine. Realizing this I went ahead and dropped the pump timing at 20 gpm to 5 hours instead...

Adjusting the water chemistry to prep for adding borates to the pool. Looking to add borates because there is a SWG and there is a pretty large negative edge with water feature in the pool. I am only running the water feature/negative edge for roughly 2 hours a day to keep the negative edge...

So part of new pool experience has been understanding why the pool service did certain things. At the beginning I noticed a few chlorine floaters but removed then because of the swg in the pool, and the cya was already at 80. I also noticed a tablet sitting in the trough bottom. Again worried...

Completely new to this but have been reading this forum for the better part of a year or so to anticipating managing a pool. And well it's here.... I had noticed that the SWG was caked completely with deposits so I cleaned that off a few days ago. I have both the recommended Taylor 2006c and...
