Hi and thanks in advance for the help. I have had our pool open for about a week and a half and the last few days I am getting the above mentioned. The Cell is completely clean and the filter screen has little debris. Some but not much. I don't recall it being that sensitive. Does that seem...

FC is at 3 TA is way low CYA is non existent although 5 days ago I had 2 socks that dissolved so I was surprised by the no reading. PH is fine Water is clear but weather has been spotty with much rain recently. Pool is clear but getting a power vac tomorrow because we had work done in the pool...

Hi All. We replaced our liner at the end of the season so the pool was drained and new water was put in over the winter. I'm just wondering the process to begin testing the chemicals etc. Today I plan to put in about 10 bags of salt since we will have the SWG running. I was thinking of also...

Any one else have this issue? I could be losing my mind, but I have the distinct belief that our Aquabot doesn't map the whole pool anymore and definitely doesn't do the shallow end corners as much or if at all. Am I losing my mind? Thanks

Hi. Was there this morning and they had Morton Pool Salt for 5.82 for a 40lb bag which is cheap right? I was there to buy stabilizer and I noticed an hth salt cell chemical designed to prolong the life of a salt cell. I know the feelings of this community on using chemicals other than the...

I see a ton of posts in Dolphin but not much on Aquabots. I have owned Aquabots for about a decade and am I missing something that makes the Dolphin line so much better/popular?

Hi. I typically open my own pool but I received a price ($175) with no chemicals from a company and had them do it. They were puzzled when they saw 20 gallons of bleach by my pool and that I wouldn't let them add shock. When I told them why, they were still in disbelief. Anyway, my question...

Hi. Any recommendations? We don't have a pool light IN the pool and I am not going to put one in. With that said I have a couple of ones that you can charge and tey float but there "brightness" isn't stellar. Any thoughts or experiences with products? Thanks!

Hi. I am contemplating installing a slide and in terms of the water source for it, do you typically tie it in from the plumbing near the pump or do you do it fresh water from an outdoor hose spicket? I'm thinking the former but wondering what most people do. Thanks!

Hi. My last test was seemingly ok but this AM I noticed a very small but definitively spot of Algae. Do I have to do a slam to get rid of it? I would rather not but not sure. Thanks! FC - 6 CC - 0 TA - 120 PH - 7.5 CYA - 35

FC - 6 CC - 0 TA - 120 PH - 7.5 CYA - 35 I know the PH is low and and the CYA is way low. I think I am going to refill the sock with stabilizer and let it run overnight. Any suggestions? Water is clear

Anyone have one? Like? Easy to use? Or equal pain as the manual kind?

Factory setting is 1, but when or why would you need 2 or 3 if you can control the purification % on 1? Thanks

Hi. Looking to get feedback and where/what to add first. SWG has 3100 PPM and I have been running it manually until I get it integrated with the pump for around 5 hrs at a level of 45%. So I appreciate any input. FC - 5 CC - 0 TA - 100 CYA - 30 THANKS

Do you need to run the pump? I assume the answer is yes but probably not for as long as normal?

Hi. The unit (DIG-220) is currently NOT tied into the pump but will be in the future. In the interim, what is the best way to shut it? The pump runs on a separate times so when that goes off is it ok to leave the unit plugged in and it will cease producing or do I have to manually unplug it...

In our shallow end for about a 7 foot run on each side about 1 foot down in the water appears to be some staining. It isn't algae that can be brushed because I tried that. I am hesitant to put ascorbic acid in because I don't want to ruin the FC levels. I may take a magic eraser to it and see...

Hi. Was happy that I had no issues with the Bravo and I noticed that the transformer light doesn't illuminate green as usually anymore. It runs but the light doesn't go on. Any input?

Thanks in advance!

In the process of SLAM and here are my numbers, thoughts? FC - 5 TA - 90 CYA - 35 Calcium - 125 Thanks

I have the loop loc off and the robot is running. I used Poly 60 at closing but do have algae. I usually don't run the robot but the water is clearer then in the past and I wanted to see if it still ran which it does. I am having my SWG installed and wired over the weekend but between now and...

Thinking about set up for this season and have a friend that is an electrician doing the wiring etc of the SWG and I was wondering if I should bite the bullet and buy one of these intermittent pumps. There is nothing wrong with the workhorse I have now that is 16 years old (came with the house...

Hi. As I am hoping the worst of the snow is beyond us in NY, I am thinking about our pool and the installation as well as the initial running of our SWCG (details in my signature). Very excited about the transition from regular chlorine and I bought the Autopilot at the end of last season and...

My info should appear below but I have a 1hp Hayward rebuilt pump and it has worked fine for 16 years. I only had to have the cord going into the unit fixed last season. My question is this: Local pool place is having a big sale and variable pumps are on sale. Is it worth it to pick one of...

So I have read quite a bit on here about people using compressors and shop vacs to blow out their lines. I was surprised to read that it could be a risk to use the compressor because in actuality I may not be getting rid of all the water that could freeze in my pipes. I have no issue buying a...

Hi. I have a case of Imperial Black Algae Out and its ingredients are: Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride - 49.8% Just wondering if I can add this and use some of my inventory before I buy online. Appreciate the feedback.

Just wondering as the season nears a close in NY. I always stored my filter, pump and chlorinator but the times stayed outside. Since the unit is wired into the timer, should I assume it is ok to leave out? Also, do you bring the cell in to store for the winter? Thanks!

Hi. I am quite certain I have bothered Josh enough at Saltpoolguys and I am awaiting delivery of the above. I can't seem to download the manual but I was wondering the width dimensions of it and does it come with fittings. Life would be way too simple if this fit where my in line chlorinator...

FC - 4 (I took all the Chlorine tabs out this AM and added 3 gallons of Bleach) I assume I should add more tomorrow? CC - 1 TA - 140 PH - 7.2 CYA - 80 CH - 325 I am going to keep a log of these but would love guidance since I am still trying to figure out pool math. I am also...

Interested to learn if there is a preferred brand or web address to purchase. Thanks!
