Thanks! I'll make sure to keep the chlorine at elevated levels until CYA is reduced. I measured again today: CYA 200+ (level was at the "CYA" text on the measure) FC 29.5 ppm pH 7.4 Water looks clear and algae was lightly forming on parts of steps. Question: if I put the solar pool cover...

I used the K-2006 test, both at normal and dilution level. The CYA is in excess of 200, since the diluted test (x2) didn't reach the 100 level. At that stage, I figured I have extremely high CYA. I'm going to run another test later today on FC, pH and TA. I'm keen to start building a history of...

Yup - the SWG was offline and not being used. The cell needed to be replaced. It was during this time, likely months, that pucks were used to chlorinate. I guess you could say the pool was pucked to death :) - - - Updated - - - CH, according to Leslie, was 500. Tap water was also tested and...

Thanks. That's a bunch of chlorine. Wonder if I'll get flagged for suspicious purchase buying so much of it :) Salt level: When I went to Leslie's, they tested my water at 1000ppm salt level. I received the test kit (K-2006) today. Here are the results: CYA: 200+ (ugh) FC: 32.5 ppm CC: null...

Thanks! Definitely need that test kit. I'm wondering how high the CYA is, to point me in the direction of how much bleach I'm going to be using. Do you think any of this impacts my ability to get the SWG up and running? Or, should I take care of the SLAM first and then connect the SWG?

Hello all, We went and did it and moved into a house with a pool. Looking forward to getting some pool time soon but first things first - I need to make sure the pool is operating optimally. Pool was built in 2000 and looks to be solid, with no leaks. There was some deferred maintenance, so in...

Do you have a link for the Translator from Flynn Engineering? I couldn't find it online. I have an Aqualink system that I just upgraded to iAqualink and will be reconnecting the Aquarite SWG system soon. It's an old Aquarite system, installed in 2000, so reading this thread makes me wonder how...
