I have Summer Escape pool, either 15 or 16 ft. Bought it at $125 and been using it as SWG pool. This year would be 4 years but most of vertical bars are rusted at the bottom. Searched on ebay sell around $10 - $12/each/used. There are total 15 bars. The cost would be more than the pool...

I opened the pool two weeks ago. The water was so cloudy/bit green so I shocked it (it is all good now). At the time, I only tested/added salt and bleach to the shock level. I didn't add any CYA. I just assumed it at the good level when I closed the pool in the last winter. I only...

PH = 8.2 TA = 50 If I add MA to bring down PH, TA level will be down to. If I add baking soda to bring TA up, PH will be up to. What should I do?

I have Intex sand filter model SF15110. Last two weeks it made noise so loud when running. Last few days, it died, no running. My wife told me it was humming but no running, then died I buy new bearing and replace the bearing. Put the pump back. When I turn on, it makes noise but the...

My sand filter is flowing weak lately. So, I decided to give it a clean. When I opened the top part of the sand container, I had found that whole bunch of dirty stuff inside the lid. I cleaned it. Then I saw the water inside the tank is so dirty, like dark brown. There is about half of inch...

Just came back from vacation and saw SWG said low salt. Measured and the salt level is 3000 ppm. Table says add 10 lb of salt to get to 3300 ppm, but I added only 4 lbs (that's all left, getting more tomorrow). Based on table, 4 lbs makes level up to 3100 ppm. Even that the SWG still saying...

Questions: 1. Do I need to close the pool in South California? yes/no so how to? or 2. Do I need to drain it completely and put the pool away for next year? What is the best approach? Sorry for the newbie questions because I am a newbie :).

Last few days, SWCG didn't make enough clhorine, I had to add chlorine every day. Didn't know why. Never crossed the thought of low salt level. Until yesterday, the SWCG appeared the code 91 (low salt level). Aha, dumb me. This afternoon, I added about 15 lb of salt. Let the sand filter...

After shocking process about a week, I did perform OCLT yesterday and today. And the result is confusing. Yesterday result: FC = 27 (the night before) FC = 29 (in the morning) I was confused so I did another one just this morning. FC = 22.5 (last night) FC = 25 (morning) What is...

12 bottles of 2oz of R-0871. I know it's not available right now but at this price. Can I keep for next year? http://www.amazon.com/TAYLOR-TECHNOLOGI ... r+test+kit Based on Taylor's code http://www.taylortechnologies.com/produ ... SearchBy=..

First, I ran 2 hrs/day. Now 3 hr/day but FC level always low when I perform the test (once every 2 days). The level was mostly 1 or 2. Sometimes 0. Added chlorine. Few days later. Same thing. Add chlorine again. So on.... In the manual recommends run 3 hr for the size of my pool. What...

In the manual stated that if the meter at yellow section, it's time to do backwash. I did but it's still at yellow when it's in operated mode. Question: Do we check when the sand filter is in operated mode or in off position?

Those two give me headache. When PH is high (8.0), TA is high also (100), I add MA to lower the PH and TA. Then aerate to bring back the PH level. Everything is fine until few days they both PH and TA go up again. I repeat the procedure again, then again. What change them up so frequently?

Just received Taylor k2006 kit. This is numbers: FC = 0.4 CC = 0.4 PH = 7.8 TA = 90 CYA = 0 ??? because even the tube is filled, I can still see the dot. SWG - 3200 Chlorine is very low. CYA is also low. PH is bit high.

My numbers: FC = 0.5 TC = 0.6 PH = over 8.2 TA = 220 Based on pool calculator: Bring FC to 4, I need 28 oz of bleach Bring PH down 7.5, I need 18 oz of M.A to reduce PH and then aerate to increase pH so TA will go down ??? Am I on the right track? Just got back from Lowes with M.A and Bleach

I've seen people posting the certain numbers FC, PH....Does your kit show exact numbers or you estimate? I have Poolmaster 22260 Basic 5-Way Test Kit. On chlorine tube, numbers are 5, 3, 2, 1, 0.6. Does your kit says 4.6, 0.8 or 2.5.......you estimated?

I run the sand filter for my AGP at night. Do I need to run the SWG with it or it's ok by itself?

Question about connection: I have intex sand filter and SW system. The outside outlet is GFCI. The place i want to put them is bit far away from gfci outlet. Can I use extension core (12 gauge x 25ft) with the power surge (for more connections)? I know the manual recommends to plug directly...

I built a 2x4x8 treated lumber frame and filled it with sand. The frame is big enough to use 18 ft pool but it'll be used on 15 ft pool. It took me one weekend to build and I am so proud of it, but.... Does sand shift even contained in the wood frame? Haven't thought about it until it's...
