    Stains on concrete coping

    I have a 17K gallon two year old pool with a SWG. Recently, I've been getting white residue on my concrete coping. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the salt, or some other chemical problem. It seems to be coming up from within the concrete. I can wash it off, but it keeps coming...

    Alkalinity vs. PH

    Thank you. I'll try the higher concentrate acid. As far aerating the pool, would I add the acid, wait about an hour, then proceed to commence the process? How long do I need to aerate? Can you give me some pointers? Thank you for your time and patience for a newbie

    Alkalinity vs. PH

    Thanks chem geek I'm using what they sell at Home Depot. It says the active ingredients are Hydrogen Chloride (14.5%) and Inert Ingredients (85.5%). Is this full strength? It doesn't sound like it. I thought they were all the same.

    Alkalinity vs. PH

    It's 15,000 gallons. I've added muriatic acid at various times. The last time I added 1 gallon. I tested last night, and according to the test kit, i need to add 1/2 gallon. But i don't think it will make a difference

    Alkalinity vs. PH

    I have a question along the same lines that I hope someone can help with. I have a 15K gallon pool that's about a year old with a SWG. My PH levels are high, probably 8.0 or higher and my alkalinity is at 150. I've read that to lower alkalinity, I must bring down the PH with acid and aerate...

    pump speed and SWG

    Does the Penatir Intelliflo tell you how many GPM you are getting? It says that it can get 174 GPM, but is there a way to see the actual output? Susa mentioned that their pump is set at 20GPM. I didn't know that you could set the pump at GPM's, instead on RPM's. Can somebody tell me how to...

    pump speed and SWG

    Thank you for all the advice. How long would you recommend to run the pump on low speeds to turn the water? Also, is there a way to tell if the SWG is not working because the pump speed is too low, without waiting for the chlorine levels to drop?

    pump speed and SWG

    Hi I have a 15K gallon pool (pebble sheen) with a Pentair Intelliflo VS-3050 SVRS pump. I also have a Goldline SWG T-Cell 15. The pool is about a year old. How long and at what speed do I need to run the pump to generate enough chlorine? I've been running at 3000rpm for 4 hours and 1100rpm...
