No I have not had to change my pump time or SWG %. Any idea what the stains are? I need to try the puck idea or vitamin c.

tOK! Here are y readings as of this am, FC 3.5 PH 7.4 TA 80 CH 350 CYA 70 86 degrees I have borax at 50 and salt at 3500. I am running my SWG at 50 % for 10 hours.

Hello, it has been a while since I have posted. I have a SWG and I am wondering if it causing me a problem, I am getting yellowish tan spots on the floor of the pool. I have tried to brush them off, but they do not come off easily. Would a pumice stone work? I went to the local pool store and...

I put 2, 1 lb bags of Leslies power plus to shock the pool on am 4/13/11. When I got home from work, I tested the FC and it read 5.0 and ph 7.6. Today 4/14/11 I tested it again pm and it read 3.5. I am trying to get the pool balanced with the chlorine, but do not know where to start. One poster...

I had to wind up draining the pool to patch the Diamond-Brite. I replaced with city water. I called the people at Resillence and they told me to have the phosphates checked at a local pool store. What do you guys think? Thanks, purptiger

First I do not know what a free chlorine loss test is. The temp is 80 and I am trying to get 1 ppm. By the way the swg panel is set at 80%. I use salt test strip.

Hi, I am a lurker and have hardly any chlorine in my pool. I have a SWG that seems to be running ok. I cleaned the element on 3/27/11. The element is only about 2 years old. The panel seems to register that there is enough salt in the pool to run. Here are my latest readings: FC .02 PH 7.6 TA...

I had to drain the pool to patch the Diamond brite. There was some water on the deep end around the main drain. This water stayed in the pool for 2 days. When I put new water in the pool the ring was still there. The pool store told me that to keep the chlorine high and this will leach out the...

Well it has been and interesting winter down in FL. We had hi winds and below freezing nights. I turned the pump off during this period and now have black sludge in pool. I tried to manually vac it out of the pool; but would not come out. Here is my latest water test: FC. .02 PH 8.2 TA 100 CH...

Even with the Taylor K2006 kit. I thought that it was for every10 drops it is plus or minus 10 ppm.

Between 5/30 and 5/31 my ph went from 7.1 to 7.3 and the ta went from 70 to 80. The only thing that I did was to aerate the pool. No chemicals wereadded or water added. So am I missing something?

I know the process of MA, to bring ta and ph down. Then one aerate the pool to bring ph back up. The problem is that if I keep aerating the pool the ph will go through the roof and then ta starts to go up. If I turn the jets down the ph still goes due to temp and swg out gasing. Ta will also go...

I forgot to tell you that I have added borates. I have the Lamotte borate rest strips and I think they tell me I nave 50 ppm. Color seems to match but not the same intensity.

These are my latest as of 8:10 am: fc 2.5 ph 7.3 ta 80 ch 280 cya 60 added 1 lb stabilizer on 5/28 temp 84 salt 3800 swg at 35 %. I am running split shift on pump: 4-8 am and 4-8 pm. Also just for reference my fill water is ph 7.2, ta 180, ch 180, and temp is 75.

My swg is working fine. I am just tired of the up and down amounts wiu the ph and ta. With bbb I am not sure I would have this

Has anyone gone from as swg to bbb? If so are you happier now? What are the pros and cons of doing this?

I lowered my ph from 7,8 to 7 to also reduce my ta. This was on 5/27. On 5/29 I finally. Got it down to 7.0 when tested at 7 pm. At this. Time my ta was 70. I aerated the water and on 5/31 my ph is 7.3 and ta 80. This tested at 8 am. I turned the return down towards the bottom and want to try ro...

Today I tested my fill water which is a well. My #'s were ph 7.2 ta 180 ch 180 75 deg. I tested the copper and iron with a lamotte colorq kit and when I followed the test directions the iron read lo same with copper. So I tried again and this time I shook the test tube and the result was .1. I...

I have a resillence swg and when I turned the pump on the power comes on, but none of the other lights that tell % of ch are coming on. What does this mean? I know I have 3800 ppm in the pool. I cleaned the cell about 4 months ago. Does it need to be cleaned again. I did notice that when I came...

I can't seem to keep my ta in that range 60-70. When my ph goes ip the ta goes and seems to want to settle around 80 or 90.

I want to try to avoid the ph up and down movement since I just spoke with the JM team. I want to use the Purple Stuff to control my scale problem. They indicated that I would have to keep my ph at 7.2 to clear up my problem and pretty much keep it there with maintenance doses to keep the scale...

Just manual water additions.

My fill water has a ta of 200. I have borates of 50 ppm. What I am trying to do is keep ph around 7.6 and ta around 60. Of course ph will go up due to higher temp ( FL), swg, and outgasing. Is it possible to have the ta stay around 60 while the ph goes up?

Yes my ph goes up about 2-3x each week

My current ph is 7.3 and my ta is 80. I am aerating my pool and running it about 8 hrs. right now. I know that the ph will go up and be around 7.6 within the next 24 hrs. At some point I will lower the ph to 7.2 again to bring my ta down to 60. This is in the recommended amount for a swg pool. I...

I have a Tahoe blue Diamond shell installed in 12/07. Today I went for a swim and noticed that the finish is starting to come off and there are two small holes in the plaster on the steps. What are my options? Can this be patched? Will I have to drain all of the water? Thanks,

Hi, I spoke with SGM about the Diamond Brite plaster and they told me the recommended ranges for DB: PH 7.4-7.6 TA 80-120 CH 200-400 (200 is ideal) FC 1-3 CYA 30-100 (40-60 ideal) According to using SWG: PH is about the same TA 60-80 CH 300 Plaster FC about the same CYA 70-90 I am not sure...

If I get the TA down to 60 and the ph goes up to 7.8 my CSI index would be -.43. This seems high to me especially with CH at 300. At what point is the index too high?

I just checked my ph and it was 7.7. On 5/17/10 it was 7.4. I was hoping that by adding the 50 ppm borate that this would help slow the ph rise. Also I have the pump only running 8 hrs and the SWG is only on 35 %. I made sure that my jet is turned toward the bottom so that it is not aerating the...

Well here are my latest pool calculator stats. Please tell me if I am on the right track: FC 5 PH 7.6 TA 70 CH 300 CYA 70 Borate 50 Salt 4100 Temp 85 * My CSI index is -.42. I have a Diamond Brite finish (Tahoe Blue) with some calcium deposits. I want to enjoy my pool during swim season and...
