DE filter. This should bring my levels to 80ppm for CYA. Should I raise my SWG or just play it out?

Straight into the skimmer. I just added 4 more pounds of stabilizer. I will retest levels in a week?

I just put in 2lbs of granular stabilizer. Should I lower the SWG to 20%?

Just tested my water. I have an FC level of 4 and a CYA level of 45/50. Pool is very clear. SWG is currently operating at 40%. Ph is 7.6. Is my CYA level good? I tried reading the chart on the site, but wanted an experts opinion.

just did the test this morning before the sun. FC= 7.5 (15 drops / 2) CC= 0. (5 drops of R0003- water didn't turn pink) Good to go? Is my chlorine high? Should I turn SWG down a little?

Ok..speak to you in the morning

So I'm turning the SWG off tn and testing before the sun comes up?

Ok, my taylor k2006 fasdpd kit finally came and I was able to get my levels. This is what I'm working with FC= 7.4 CC= 1.4 Ph= 7.8 CYA= 55 My SWG is currently pumping at 60%. Water is very clear. Just not sure if my numbers are ok or if I need to do a overnight test.

I know, but my test kit is coming on the 8th. How can I keep my pool from spiraling out of control in the mean time? My last"pool strip" reading had the FC at 10 & the CYA at 50. Right now my SWG is off bc the chlorine level is high. When should I turn it back on? When the strip reads 5 in...

Is time of the essence? The sooner the better, or can I do this on Monday? - - - Updated - - - Just jammed pack right now

My test kit hasn't come yet..all's I have are my strips...FC is 10..CYA is 50..but you know these strips aren't accurate..if it's dead algae, should I power vac out of pool, or can I run through my pool vac filter (not my pool filter)

..My pool is clear, but when I brush the liner a cloudy film gets kicked up, almost like a powder, then it settles again. Any idea if that is normal? Salt pool..DE filter.

I think I figured it out from the manual of my SWG. I started the intellichlor with 0 FC and the demand for chlorine was so high it wasn't able to reach break-point chlorination. Manual says it won't be able to produce enough if demand is high. I was supposed to have the stabilized at 2.0-4.0...

SWG is a brand new intellichlor and all lights are green

Don't know if I need to SLAM my pool or just need to raise the CYA level. I have a 24,000 gallon salt pool and have a current CYA of 45. I shocked my pool 3 days ago with 3lbs of granular and 2 days ago with 4lbs. I ran my SWG at super boost for 48 hrs, but my FC level is at 0. Even when I...

The water is crystal clear

So, it sounds like there is algae in the water consuming the chlorine as it's being produced? What should my CYA levels be at? I shocked it for 2 days straight- 3lbs then 4, & the chlorine is lower? Again, the water is crystal clear. I have noticed some slick spots in the deep end on the...

I haven't had free chlorine in my pool for 2 years bc my SWG was broken. I just bought a pentair intellichlor SWG and have been seeing nothing but green lights for 3 days. The guy in the lab said " add 4lbs of shock, and run your chlorinator at Super Boost for for 48 hours", which I did. An...

For what I am running (rpms & time) My filter is filtering 43,000 gallons give or take..My pool is 25,000 gallons. I appreciate everyone's help.

@pooldy: great info. Would you run the pump for 24 hrs?

I understand. Being New to the game, cab you give me a sample schedule? Is it detrimental to the SWG to being run with insufficient flow @1400rpms where it won't produce chlorine? I am currently running the pump 12 hrs, 8am to 12pm @2200 rpms; 12-3 @ 3000 rpms; 3-8 @2200rpms.

, I have a SWG and just bought an intellichlor generator and the Pentair Superflo VS pump. I'm overwhelmed with how to operate this. My pool guy told me to run it at low rpms (1400), but I did overnight and the flow light and low salt light were flashing red this morning. I am now running at...
