    Getting ready for SWG

    If I remember correctly the liquid CYA is way less ppm of CYA. I think it was 13.4ppm per 10,000 gallons. Basically a gallon doesn't get you very far.

    Marty, just to answer this curiosity, I had the SWG orientation modified and I am able to run my pump at 1140 before my flow switch closes so I run it at 1200 most of the day, which uses about as much electricity as 2-3 lightbulbs, and I have it set to run at 2450 from 6am until 11am while I...

    It will probably never be done, but it will be fully functional and ready within the next week or so. I still have a lot of landscaping to plan out but that can wait, heck it might have to wait or we'll go broke!

    Help with Pentair VSF settings

    I am new and trying to get a schedule set up on my pump. I just added salt this morning after the 30 day wait, and I am trying to get the schedule set up on the pump. I do not have easytouch system (yet), and I am just wondering if there is a way to set the pump to run at 1200rpm, and then go...

    Jim, they came the next day and put valves on all of the suctions, I’ll post an updated pic of the pad. They changed the salt cell too. It’s a mud pit at the moment.

    Looking for input on Quartz vs plaster or anything else

    We did the mini pebble and the plasterers hand troweled it very smooth.

    Rookie mistake.... big time

    Thanks! You guys made me feel better! I will continue on then. My pH is 7.2 right now. The plasterer was here yesterday and he suggested keeping it on the lower side for a little while. I added Alky up, now I will retest in the evening. - - - Updated - - - Thanks Matt!

    Rookie mistake.... big time

    So I have a new pool. The plaster is about 3.5 weeks old. The pool builder has drug his feet and I wanted to put some bleach in the water to make sure it didn't start getting algae. I put wayyyyy too much without thinking. I put a little over a gallon of 12%. My CYA is 0, it's not too sunny...

    Jim, First, thanks! The suction of the pump is skimmer 1, skimmer 2, and main drain. The discharge is 3 2” runs each going to 2 returns for a total of 6 returns. They said we would control flows with eyeball size. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks again. Greg. - - - Updated - - - Sorry...

    Thanks Marty! I am not looking to have an interesting build, I would much rather have a proper build, which is why I value this board and it's members information so much. I have contacted my builder and I will be having that corrected.
