Hi all, This is my second summer as a pool owner. Pool was installed fall-ish of 2023. So SWG isn’t even two years old yet. I had the pool opened today. I came home to my SWG giving a low salt solid red light. Cold water and cell light are off and flow light is green. I thought maybe not...

So I admittedly do not check my TA all that often because at the start of the season every time I tested it, it always stayed around the same which was 90. I didn’t have much issues with my PH so I opted to just not worry about it and let it stay at 90. Today I am running my tests and wanted to...

Hi all, New pool owner. Pool was built late last year so we did not get to use it. This is my first year of pool ownership. This is something I noticed last year. These copper-ish colored spots on pool surface. I never got rid of them last year nor really tired as I could not find out what...

Hi all, I am having an issue that I believe is new. My return lines are all blowing pockets of air at any RPM above 2,200. I thought maybe I did not have a good seal on pump basket or filter. I have reset them and still have pockets of air being pushed through all return lines. I have...

Hi all, I am new to pool ownership. We built our home last year and had pool installed along side of home build. Unfortunately we were not able to use pool by seasons end, but pool was open last year. This is relevant because I do not remember this issue last year. This year we have tons of...

Hi all! New pool owner that will be opening next week. I need a robotic pool cleaner. I’ve come here looking for recommendations. Budget not a big issue. I’d like one that does it all(cleans walls and water line). Local pool company carries the liberty 200/300 and dolphin 15/20/30. But I’m...

Just curious what could be depleting my free chlorine levels? We got in the hot tub on Wednesday and FC was 4.5 after getting our. So I did not add anymore chlorine. Hot tub stayed covered until today when we got in and FC was 0. CC was also 0. So I’m left wondering how it got to 0. Could it...

Getting my hot tub set up and water balanced. I believe I read it is not recommended to add chlorine and Muriatic acid within 24 hours in a pool. Is this the same case with hot tubs? How long after adding Muriatic acid and running system do I have to wait before I add some Dichlor? Hot tub is...

Just wanted to be sure before I take on the task of filling up and balancing our new SWG hot tub this weekend. Do the numbers in the sticky thread above still apply to hot tubs with SWG? Specifically the CH being at 150? I know manuals are industry standards, but CH being at 150 is...

My CH has been on the lower side (300ppm). So in an effort to raise it, I added 20 pounds of calcium chloride today. I did not brush as after a minute or two I could not see any on the floor of the pool anymore. Is it okay that I did not brush? I did not realize the reaction produces heat. I...

31.45% Muriatic acid…I’ve read the warnings. I was not prepared for how nasty this stuff was. My god. I tried my best to not breath any in. Turned my head back away as I poured it and held my breath as long as possible. Still got a shot of it up the nose. Burned the nose like something I’ve...

So we are building a house and also having pool built along side of house. We are not moved in yet and pool people are still working on hardscape, so pool builder is having their person get water balanced and maintained at the moment. I, however, have been reading as much info about pool...

Was posting over on Reddit about something unrelated to this and someone brought this to my attention. I was unaware that there should be 5x the size of the pipe or straight run for the pump inlet. My questions are: 1. Is this a huge issue that needs to be corrected? 2. What issues can this...
