We had a great year with our new pool ,the SWG is wonderful .Now sadly its time to close it for awhile and we are having trouble capping the small filters. we unscrewed the round piece off and thought the winter cap would just screw right in ,but it seems like something else has to come off...

Hi there, we live in south carolina too and have had the same problem , not sure if they are coming from the tree line outside the fence or the new thujas we planted inside the fence next to the pool. But they are driving us crazy and they bite. I sprayed an all natural bug repellent around on...

Thank You ! the pool is looking great and everything is at good levels now . We had a swamp when we lifted the cover but with our Tf-100 test kit and some help on here we are all good .

We are new to the SWG , and loving it but we were wondering if you should put a float in the pool with the tabs like we used to with our old pool which did not have an SWG . Thanks !

Thank You ! We are pretty excited .Lol, no the dog didnt go in ,but we had 11 dogs here yesterday ,we have 4 and my daughter has 3 and 2 fosters and my son has 2 and none of them attempted to go in .

- - - Updated - - - Hi , so this is the pool ! its looking pretty good and we did go swimming yesterday. The liner was the hardest decision but we are very happy with the color . the yard is coming along and just a few more things to do .

Thanks , yeah not sure since we had above ground before and seemed less complicated ,or maybe we were just younger !

If we put it in the skimmer wouldnt it go through the filter and be recirculated out ,avoiding it getting it directly on the vinyl ?

Thanks for all the help, the bottle has three different options to backwash first and then balance water ,then after adding circulate for 24 hours and do not backwash the filter for at least 48 hoursor skimmer application is the preferred application ,slowly add the product to the skimmer in a...

Also do we usually need to add salt now at the beginning ? Sorry for so many questions but we want to do this the right way. Thanks - - - Updated - - - HI , Thanks , I am looking at manual for SWG and it does have the pounds of salt needed to and also CYA amounts .Now one more thing ,are you...

So I guess that I will need to add the whole 5.5 lbs if there is no CYA in the pool. maybe more . but should i start with that? Not sure what the overnight chlorine loss test is, is that in pool school ? We had used the shockwave that the pool store had sold us (Iknow,Iknow) now going forward we...

Hi ,Not milky at all ,crystal clear .

Hi , I was able to get some better readings today. The cya is still throwing me because I can see the black dot when its filled all the way to the top so not sure what I am doing wrong with that one. The SWG is new to us , we had an above ground pool when we lived up north but no SWG . Just...

WE are also trying to figure out when to turn on the SWG. The pool store guy told us we have to know the ideal setting that ours should be on (I thought he should know that ) .when we turned it on it was on 2,000 . we are running the pool 24/7 right now to clean the pool ,also wondering when we...

Hi ,not sure what the temp. was but it didnt feel that cold ,as a matter of fact we commented how warm it felt ,we live in sc . maybe we did the cya test wrong .my husband and I said we could both see the black dot but we also were wondering how a black dot could disappear in clear water .

Hi ,Yes used the chlorine only bottle to 10 and was up to I think 30 drops of the r-0871 and it was still really almost red rather than pink .and never seemed to change a bit . I did purchase stabilizer tonight and will do the test again tomorrow and hopefully will have more luck .

I just kept adding the drops and nothing was happening and I didnt want to use the whole bottle so thought I would wait until the chlorine level dropped .we are running the filter 24/7 and the pool did go from swamp green to crystal clear with using the stuff we put in from the pool store when...

I used all the tests in the TF -100 kit and a strip .

Hi All, the pool looks beautiful today . There is still a lot of chlorine so without using all of my drops I am not able to get an accurate chlorine reading and i know thats important . but I am going to list the other things at least and maybe we can go from there FC CC PH- 7.5 TA - 140 CH -175...

Thanks ,I would assume the pool company wouldnt sell me something that wasnt the right cleaner for the pool they sold me, but I have learned not to assume anything !

I haven't done the test yet but will post them when I do. It still has a lot of chlorine . Thanks for the info on the dolphin ,that is one of the ones they sell and they recommend .

HI All, the pool is looking much better today . I am going to go out and do the testing today and hopefully will be able to get some readings .everything was off the charts yesterday . So at what point do we want to start the SWG ?. do we have to wait until the chlorine reaches a lower level ...

Thanks , i just took the test kit out and ran the chlorine and ph, chlorine was orange and ph was fuscia..and FC was dark pink started to do the others but they were taking so many drops of stuff that I stopped . I didnt want to use the whole test kit in one day .I knew there would be a lot of...

Okay ,so I just want regular old bleach ? We have a gallon of Muriatic acid ,I am a little afraid of this stuff since it eats through everything but we do have it . Do I start with the K-1000 test first ? Also wondering what levels we need to get to so we can get the swg turned on . Thanks

Ok, so my question is if I don't set foot in the store again ,where do I buy my chemicals ? The ones at the store ,even the algaecide has a small amount of copper. I am opening up my TF -100 kit .Usually my husband does this but he cant get to it until the weekend .it looks better todaybut needs...

We put shock in this morning and the pool store guy said we should have used theirs because the Clorox one has copper ,the pool looks much better than it did yesterday. which is a good thing since I overextended my reach and did a header into the 6 ft. end . Yuck . I had also purchased an...

I am not sure how to fill in my signature but I can tell you we have an 18x 36 vinyl liner pool with a Hayward super pump and vari flow with a AQR 15 SWG . Not sure if that what you need to know . Thanks - - - Updated - - - Oh and the TF -100 test kit

Hi , we just got it uncovered due to a lot of yard work going on .it is green and some of it may be due to orange dust getting through from yard work . so we should not turn the swg on? this is going to sound really stupid but how do we run the filter without the swg being on ? Thanks
