    Astral pool swg not sanitizing

    Our pool and swg has been thru one season. When I turn on the swg it comes on but just says "on." It usually warms up and then says "sanitising." I can then see it generating. Now it doesn't. I'm clueless. I will say no one from the builder told us to clean it so we will be doing that this...

    Pressure issue after vacuum

    Today I ran the vacuum and had an odd thing happen. I think I got too close to a main drain because it sort of felt like I got sucked in. Then when I went to remove hose from skimmer hole it was lose and basically floating. Now the skimmer has little suction and the returns aren't putting out...

    Day 13 of SLAM. Am I missing something?

    I'm 13 days into turning swamp to pool. I can't pass the OCLT and the pool is just a touch cloudy in the deep end. Could I be missing something? I usually lose 1-2 ppm at night and 2-4 ppm during the day. I bet I've used 30 jugs of bleach.

    Safe to swim FC chart?

    I'm sorry if it's out there and I can't find it. I was wondering of there was a safe to swim CYA/FC chart. We're nearing the end of SLAM and the kids are getting antsy to swim. Thanks!

    A way to conserve reagent?

    I'm on day nine of my pond to pool slam. My FC goal is 24, so I'm using a lot of reagent for testing. Is there a formula to dilute or use more than 10ml water to test FC so that I don't have to use around 50 drops per test? Thanks!

    SLAM done?

    I've been slamming since we opened a swamp last week. No CC and we pass the OCLT but the pool is still cloudy/milky, not clear. Could this just be old algae needed to be filtered out? Hate to keep slamming if we don't need it. Thanks.

    My SLAM isn't done, right?

    Opened to a swamp. Been slamming. Passed OCLT, but pool is still green. I need to keep FC at shock level until pool is clear, correct? I'm using up so much bleach, it's crazy.

    Green Pool Passes OCLT

    Our pool was just uncovered last week and I've been slamming since then. It is still quite green, but passed the OCLT. I know I'm not done. Just wanted to be sure this was ok. I can't test for CC right now as my dog chewed up that bottle. :(

    Ignore PH while slamming?

    Our pool was opened this week and is a swamp. I'm slamming it and it's starting to clear. But it's slow. PH was ok before slam. Should I do anything to PH during slam or ignore til I'm done? Thanks!
