Well, I was already checking to see if my theory was correct (that the Spa was getting chlorine and was going to get overloaded with it). Here's the first 3 days with the SWG and the FC results in both the pool and Spa, taken at the same time every day. I have the Taylor k-2006 and Taylor...

I believe my signature should cover the pool layout good enough. I will also post pictures. Just realized my signatrure didn't save because it was too long. Here's the extra bits: Layout: Pool: 3 ground returns, 1 main drain, 1 side return with booster pump Spa: 4 jets, 1 odd return which...

Thanks for the information. It sounds like I shouldn't be worried too much. Really, if I want to avoid having to drain the equipment in the rare chance that I lose power and temps stay below freezing for multiple days, I should get a backup generator. Otherwise just drain the equipment and keep...

I live in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) in the valley where we get pretty mild winters. Usually we have cloud cover and the nighttime lows get to 34-38, highs in the mid 40's. There will be nights where it may drop to 32. I assume if it's just dipping to 32 at 3-5AM, that I don't need to freak...

Great, thanks. When you say your pool froze solid in late december, do you mean just the top layer or did it freeze all the way down to the bottom? Seems like at least I'm not crazy to consider leaving it open.

This is my first season with my in-ground pool. I'm considering whether or not to close the pool. I'm fairly confident that I'm prepared to close it properly after reading a bunch of material and asking some questions on here. Water temp is about 73 right now, but as soon as we get into the...

Ok, I think that makes sense. However, are you saying that if I hook the compressor up to the main return pipe in the pool equipment room, that after I plug the first return, the water will start to bubble out of the main drain? I would think that the air would only come out of returns at that...

I've been scouring this forum for a few months now, as I recently bought a house (6/24) which has a 33,000 gallon in-ground pool. It took me about 8 days to get the water chemistry where it should be, but thanks to this forum, I was able to do so. I've been using about 1 gallon of chlorine every...
