got it. Yes… CSI is in my original post. 0.84 according to PoolMath with my numbers. I will do the water replacement because we have been getting a lot of buildup on the SWG cell and then it deposits the white flecks in the pool.

Is CH of 870 and/or the white residue a problem? What I’m getting at is… how urgent is it to do a water replacement. I’m in Florida so there going to be some naturally when the rainy season starts.

I tried to get some pics last summer but they didn’t turn out. I’ll try again. Yeah the company owner was okay but his crew really sucked.

I do! My SWG calls for ~4500 ppm salt, so I overshot a little the last time I topped it off. Is the replastering why CH has crept up so high? I never used to have a problem with it.

We had our pool replastered 2 years ago and we have been getting a lot of white residue in the water. I finally got around to testing my CH and it is quite high. From what I am reading, the only way to lower is to replace water? Here are all my numbers: FC 8 PH 8 TA 130 CH 870 CYA 60 Salt 4800...

Thanks for the replies. From what I saw on Marina’s website, they’re more than I was hoping to spend… I’ll keep researching but hoping to find something basic in the $300 range.

I’m a bit overwhelmed in starting to research pool cleaners. Is there somewhere I can read up on the pros/cons of the different types? I’m attaching a picture of my oddly shaped pool. It’s about 3 feet deep at the steps and goes down to 6.5 at the far side where it is widest. There is only one...

Hello, My husband asked me to post this for him... Need metal roof install advice for solar pool heater. We have a Heliocol solar pool heater and we love it. We had our shingle roof replaced with metal. We took down the old system, but the local contractor refuses to install it on metal so...

I generally run the SWG at 50-75% capacity except for the hottest 3 months of the summer and that is with the whole system running 9-10 hours a day. August/Sept might have to bump it to 100% occasionally or do "Superchlorinate" after a party or something. When we have real winter weather for a...

Yes, I test salt with the k1766 kit. My SWG does not have a readout. Thanks for the synopsis. Will report back after the resurfacing...

We installed the SWG shortly after we moved here so it is less than 4 years old. I am using my own TF Test kit. I'll have to post numbers later. I don't think the CYA got too low. I always top it off when it gets to 50.

Hello, I have a peculiar problem I would like some thoughts about. Several months ago--mid-September--I tested my water and the chlorine was non-existent. CCs were also low--0.5. The water was staying clear but there was algae growing in some of the waterline tile grout which has been pitted...

All fixed! Thanks! :cool:

Hello, Our pool timer has gotten unreliable. It is 16 years old going by when the pool was built but we have only been here almost 4 years. My husband replaced the motor a year or two ago and it worked better for a while but now it keeps getting stuck. He lubricated the gears recently but that...

That great to hear. Gonna have to get some and give it a try around here.

Hey y’all! It’s swimming time in Florida already. Yay! But my patio looks terrible! Boo! At the end of last summer I sprayed everything down with bleach and a lot of areas are dingy already. Also the white screen enclosure cage is green and streaky on the large beams. My sister was telling...

Thanks. I’ll try going over the top next.

I’ve just replaced the previous homeowner’s cracked and falling apart pool vacuum hoses with a single standard pool vac hose instead of the 3 foot sections you have to put together. This one: https://www.amazon.com/U-S-Pool-Supply-Professional-Swimming/dp/B0721NDVL8/ He also had a weird...

I had an electrician friend come and install a bunch of smart switches I had bought for our new house. He couldn’t install a smart switch for my pool light because there isn’t a power source coming into the switch box. I decided to use the switch elsewhere. Something to keep in mind or check...

Thanks!

My husband has these questions about installing the CircuPool SJ SWG in our setup. I am attaching photos of the equipment pad and plumbing. The instructions say: "The cell should be located above the highest plumbing point, and raised at least 6" from the return line." He is unsure of...
