Hey Everyone, The pool was finished about 2 years ago. I keep the pumps going year round, so no closing or opening. Just adding liquid chlorine over the winter. Last year right before it was warm enough to swim, chlorine levels looked good once I got more salt in the water. This year that...

I cleaned the filters in September when we stopped using the pool but we don't close the pool completely. Chlorine and pH levels were checked and adjusted throughout the winter. There hasn't been much debris in the pool at all. Water is still flowing fine from the looks of the pool. Seems like...

My pool was finished in April 2023. We haven't been in it in over a month, and I just saw a finger-tip-width hole in the top of one of the steps. How could this have happened, so I can prevent it from happening again, and what can I do about it now? Thanks.

Hey Everyone, I have 2 pumps (see signature), a main pump that feeds the SWG and another pump that simply runs the bubblers and spillover. I just realized I could adjust the RPMs. I'd like help figuring out what settings to run each pump on. The pool skimmers don't do a great job even with...

Got my pool end of April last year. Once the weather got cold, I switched to running the pumps overnight only to keep things from freezing. Testing shows no chlorine but I'm guessing that's due to the water temp and the SWG not creating chlorine. The water has stayed is nice and clear. The...

It usually doesn't stay below freezing long around here. Pool is large and oddly shaped, so I have no cover. I also have a raised tanning ledge that spills into the main pool. It's about 8 inches deep. I've got 2 pumps, one for the ledge spillover and the main. Also have the filter, the heater...

Yesterday afternoon my water tested high pH and low salt in my 35k gallon SWG pool. So, I added a gallon of muriatic acid, which I've done a few times already this season, and 3 40lb bags of pool salt. I added the acid first, all around the pool. About 15 minutes later, I added the salt by...

Hi All, Finally got my TF-Pro and turned on my SWG. I'm colorblind so had to have my wife's help by we performed all of the tests in just under an hour. Hopefully we will get a lot faster. :) Water is clear but want to make sure it's balanced well as we have people over Saturday. Test...

I have my main pump and a second pump that pushes water to the tanning ledge and overflows into the main pool. I'm 4 weeks from plaster and have been running both pumps 24/7. How often, and when, should I run my pumps going forward? Same general question for my heater. It took about 4 days of...

My new in ground pool was finished recently and we were given the green light to turn on the heater. The pool is 35,000 gallons with 1,000sf surface area according to the build specs. We are using propane and opted for a heat pump heater/chiller. I was lead to believe that while slower to...

Our pool was plastered in white on Monday, 4/10. We filled the pool over about a week (due to low volume) from our well that passed through pH and iron filters. The water after the filters tested at 0 for everything other than a little hardness and 7pH. The water was clear other than dirt and...

Hi, I'm in the process of filling my new pool. It's a large gunite pool holding roughly 35,000 gallons. I'm on well water and my well only produces 4-5 gallons per minute. The pool was plastered (plain white with small specs of blue quartz) a week ago (4/10), and I've got another 36 hours or so...
