    Pounds of chlorine needed per day for 38k pool in NJ

    I live in NJ, how many pounds of chlorine do you need to run a 38k gallon pool per day. I'm looking at swcg and don't want to have to run my system for over 8 hours and want to get a swcg that produces enough chlorine.... thanks.

    Clorox Pool Salt

    now I know what the stains in my pool are from. We always used mortons and 3 years ago used clorox and never realized that the stains were probably from that.... sadly they look awful and are still there. We also had issue with the power of the clorox salt, we needed a lot more clorox salt to...

    Would not replace with Jandy/Zodiac looking for a salt cell for a 40k gallon pool and suggestions with ones where I won't be spending a grand every year fixing the system as I do with Jandy version.... replacing sensors, salt cells, plugs every year even in first year and then they don't extend...

    Nature2 Fusion soft... I'm thinking this piece is melted ? Can someone please let me know if this possibly is my error?

    I think the board may be shot. I cleaned everything. Error messages 172, 185, 186 then went to 170 and now 182.... I have a 38k gallon salt pool and I don't use the mineral cartridge. Should I just buy a new system and does anyone know which one I can get that's reasonable for a pool our size...

    Jandy aquapure went from 172 185 186 to 170 error code

    I cleaned the head of the plus now back to 172 185 186 error codes. Now I recalibrated the salt system as it was reading crazy high and I had it tested at 3 stores and myself all 3100 to 3300 so I went to 3200.... temp on the pool is reading colder than it is though as water is about 72 and...

    Robot with a longer cord

    Hi everyone. I have a salt water gunite 22 x 44 pool that is 4-8' deep with an additional 13'x13' shelf and a swim out. I am looking for a robot that will clean it all, climb walls, scrub algae, do the shelf which has water 15-18" deep only. I have a bad arm and the polaris 280 keeps even...

    Need new brush

    Had this whale wall a few weeks, love it but it's only been used a few times and I'm finding the nylon bristles are coming out after each use like 4-5 bristles every time, maybe more if they are falling out in pool.... anyone else have this issue?

    Not yet open and green and brown algae

    The Jandy one I have is also rated for 40k gallons. I seem to have to shock it 1x a week to maintain anything higher than 1 during higher heat, it was at 2 when cloudy and that's running 12-14 hours. I think it's cheaper to just throw a scoop of shock in 1x weekly than the clorox as I'd need...

    here are 3 pics of the streaks. As I said putting a chlorine puck didn't change it nor did vitamin c.... the culator packages didn't even change colors that I had bought, just in case, I bought another one and it's been in a few days and looks clean.

    It would only let me upload 1 pic then it said I was over my limit??? I think stains are from guy who acid washed and did a bad job.... he then openned pool and added chemicals and we weren't home and it turned green as he added no salt and it was hot and we were away it was like this...

    someone stole all my cya out of my shed... either pool openners did it or my lawn guys... I'm furious. But, my pool is clear, Is it swimmable? CL is 2, I just added some shock salt is at 3500, I figure one rain storm will bring it down a bit when I have to empty water so I'm leaving it on...

    Need new brush

    Nobody seems to have this in stock even amazon says 1-2 months. I'm guessing I should get the 50/50 which is $70 and sounds expensive for a brush head..... manufacturer site has them but s&h is price and it will end up $65....

    Pool is 4 years old. When we first got it, the chlorine levels were .5- 1 using swcg and the manufacturer said it was normal and fine, we ran it 15 hours at 100%.... pool was crystal clear, then again I'm not very happy with the manufacturer. Since I'm taking out a lot of water and adding new...

    thanks. Is there a normal order that you do these in and how quickly you can do each. I know Leslie's used to make us wait a day or 2 sometimes between different chemicals. Should I get salt level down first? I got it down to 3800 now, just doing 2" of water at a time... Last question. TA...

    New Skimdoctor installed

    question. How tall is that off the skimmer? Looks like a good idea for me to install in my deep end skimmer basket. I get more bugs and pollen, not leaves. Let me know. Seems they have a 1.0 and 2.0 version but only change appears they now use plastic clips.
