A week ago I noticed a little bit of algae starting to grow in the corner of our tanning ledge. Then I noticed that my SWG at 100% was not keeping up with the chlorine demands and was constantly 2ppm or less. Once I brushed the algae off it hasn’t returned. Also CC has never been higher than 0.5...

Our Hayward pool cleaner keeps getting hung up on either of the drains at the bottom. I thought it was because the leader hose that connects to it was cracked, but the same problem is still happening when I replaced the leader hose. It never got stuck in the first year we had it. Any advice?

We just had our SWG start up last week for my 10,000 gallon pool. The pool builder company came and added salt. I just did my first salt test (Taylor TF-100 salt kit) and it’s showing 4400ppm. Too high I know, but is it dangerously high? Will this go down over time? Here are my readings: Ph 7.6...

The pool servicer came yesterday to do the startup for salt. How long does it take for it to start producing chlorine? I tested today (24 hours later) and had 0 FC. Do I need to supplement with liquid chlorine right now until the SWG catches up and is producing enough?

We are new to pools as ours was finished about a month ago. We are leaving for 6 days so I am wondering what to do. Note that our SWG is not turned on yet so it’s a regular chlorine pool for now. I know I should SLAM before I leave but what else? PH is at 7.8 but rises quick since pool is new...

Yesterday, I tested my pH and it was 8.3, so I added the amount of 31.45% Muriatic acid the pool math app said to add. I just tested today and it is 8.2 which is still high, so I added more Muriatic acid. Is it possible I just got old Muriatic that isn’t as effective as it should be? Something...

Hello! I did my first tests today (TF Pro) and things don’t look too great. The pool got finished last week and the guy was here to do start up chems. SWG is not on yet but will be in a few weeks. Here is what I got: Chlorine-0. The solution was still clear and not yellow at all Ph-8.2 or...

Hi Everyone! Our pool is almost done which means I’m starting to research how to take care of it…this site has been great! The consensus I’m seeing is: stay away from strips and get the TF-100. Am I correct in my assumption? If I go the TF-100 route, how much are you spending in a year for...

Hi Everyone! We just signed a contract for our new pool and are so excited! We are leaning towards selecting Picasso Blue which is part of the Signature Matrix product from Wet Edge. I tried looking online and could not find many pictures of pools with this color. The couple of pictures we did...
