While I do not hate my SWG and am using the Water Balance for SWG found on TFP. It seems that everyday I add 4.5 ( 36 oz) cups bleach. I have been told that my IC20 is to small for my 17,100 gal pool. I had no trouble last year. the only difference this year is that I had "green pool"...

I am trying to set my IC 20 to produce the correct amount of chlorine and need to know how much chlorien is produced in 4 hours as this is my pump time running from 10pm to 2am Ph = 7.8 FC = 5 TC = 5 CC = 0 CYA = 80 TA = 90 Temp = 82 degrees F I am using the "Water Balance For SWGs"...

I have been slamming my pool since 5/25/17 You will see that my CYA is 70, a mistake on my part, but the water is clear yet the FC continues up and down as does the CC. Should I just let the filter catch up or? Here are the latest chem numbers: 5/25/17 2pm Ph = 7.6 FC = 0 CYA = 0 added...

hope i am in the correct forum. This is the first time I am opening my pool using the water balance for SWGs. I know there i some algae in the pool, i have not taken the cover off yet, as I see light green in the skimmer. How do I go about "opening" the pool for the season while using the...

hello, So are you saying I should run my swg @ 100% for a day, check my chemistry and the next day and then decide how many hours to run @ 60% from 6am until noon- 1pm 100% then back to 80% after 2-3 pm? This chemistry thing is so confusing. I am not a chemist and would prefer not to be. I...

Today I finally got my pH to 7.4 and T Alkalinity to 80. I read the article Water Balance for SWGs. It seems that it is recommending FC 4-6 ppm pH 7.5 - 7.8 TA 60-80 CYA 70-80 To achieve the above levels poolmath says to use: 80oz 6% bleach 10 cups 18oz backing soda 85oz...

My wife and I originally retired from Ohio to Tennessee. Winter was not what we expected so we decided to head further south and ended up in Statesboro Georgia. We had our pool installed in August and have enjoyed it during the "hot months" and into the cooler months (winter here not nearly as...

Hello, Here are my test results. This is first time I have noticed CC as -1. I did not do the testing myself as I am teaching someone else to use our test kit and they decided to proceed without me. They may have written down the numbers incorrectly or misread the result. Even so what would...

I live about 60 miles northeast of Savannah, GA. My Pentair IC20 does not generate chlorine below 59 degrees. I am asking for guidance and recommendations as to which chemicals to use to keep the chlorine level up and any other chemistry that may go up or down during the winter. Thank...
