I keep a pretty tight grip on my numbers for my pool, I think. But I am new at this (3 years as pool owner). The first liner we had was not installed or made correctly so they sent the crew out to drain, remeasure, remake the liner. They installed the second liner this spring, and from the...

Lol, it was off yesterday all day but we are surrounded by cottonwoods and at times it looks like it's snowing! I test for CC everytime and the highest I have ever gotten is .5 ? Is that normal to never have any CC?

Thanks for the help to both of you. I got it to 12, kept it at 12 all day, was at 11.5 this morning, still has just a very fine "touch" of cloudy. Stay with the slam? or kick on SWG? We have forecasted thunderstorms all day and we have auto cover so it's gonna be hard to test today.

Just noticed cloudiness yesterday, looks like I need to slam. Has been up and running for 1 month in KC area SWG pool, salt a little low, CYA very low. Salt 2950 CYA 30 FC .5 CC 0 ph 7.4 Since CYA is low, do I need to get that up BEFORE I slam to at least 60-70? When do I add salt? I guess...

Done! Happy to contribute. Set the new one at 60% last night after my son's ballgame and woke up this morning to a healthy FC of 5 without adding any LC for the first time this summer! Looking back, I think I slammed it 2x this summer because I thought it was pre algae and instead it just...

Thanks for all your help. IC40 replaced today after it failed all their testing.

So if my OCLT is <1, w SWG off, and SWG on at 100% 24 hours a day is not adding to my FC, is it even remotely possible the SWG is working?

And PB just texted me to tell me "there's a lot of things that can consume chlorine so we will have to analyze and make sure we are covering our bases" and "the machine does not use up salt to create chlorine, the salt doesn't go down because of consumption it only goes down because of splash...

So supposedly the builder is brining up a more detailed test for SGC, even though it running at 100% right now 24 hours a day, isn't adding any FC to my pool. Also want to know if I've tested for phosphates??? - - - Updated - - - Also, I asked him if it's running at 100% 24 hours a day, why...

So OCLT was 4.0 last night. 3.5 this morning. No CC. But SWG lights were now all good and green after resting it overnight...Have a call into pool builder to come figure out why it's not working and why it was on the fritz all day yesterday.

Nope been doing it all afternoon today. Wasn't doing it yesterday. Crazy. - - - Updated - - - And flow light is red...

Now my 1c40 salt cell is blinking red and green saying too much salt/not enough salt...It's got 3800 per Intellichlor...

Thanks for all the help. If I do an oclt I assume swg goes off?

CYA is 55

Yes, K-2006c test kit last summer too... I will do an OCLT test tonight.

So I guess I'm at the point where I need to ask, how does one know if the SWG isn't doing what it's supposed to do? Not saying that's where I am, but like I said way earlier in the thread, I've slammed 2x this summer, and last summer I ran my SWG no higher than 33% the entire summer, I'm...

It's set at 72%. dropped from 4.0 to 2.0 during the day with no swimmers and pool covered...I will get it back to 4.0 with LC, what should I set it at now? I'm running pump 24 hours a day.

4.0 this morning...will check again tonight.

That's what I have done. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all the other replies. Trying to figure out how hard I need to run my SWG...

So I'm down to 2-2.5 FC 24 hours later with it set at 62. Should I keep bumping it up?

So I'm at 4.0 and turned on SWG to 62% just now. When should I check it again?

Okay, so yesterday eve was at 13, tonight at 7.0...should I wait til I get to 4.0 to turn on SWG (cya 55 so rounded up to 60--which shows 4.0 on chart)? pH was 7.2 fyi if that matters.

Was 23 this morning at 6am and was 22 just now 5:15 pm with SWG off. Still continue to keep SWG off at this point?

Well, live and learn. I misread and when you said target I jumped in my brain to target SLAM...so I guess I slammed it, and didn't need to...So should I turn off SWG?

I should've clarified. I redid chemicals tonight to be solid before figuring out how much LC to add and did them in a hurry this afternoon. So wanted to be more accurate. I had a CYA of 55 so bumped it up to 60 on the chart. So I added just now 10 gall of LC to get me to 24. I am running...

So does this look right? Set it to 62% if I'm running pump 24 hours a day? Get it to 24 w LC tonight and test it again tomorrow?

So this is second summer with our pool and I pretty much coasted through last summer bumping SWG up a hair here and there to keep FC around 3-4...Usually bounced between 30-35% on the setting. I did end up getting a cloudy pool and algae bloom later in the summer but one SLAM took care of it...

Awesome. Thanks for the insight everyone. I am running the pump around the clock. I'll check it when I get home but suspect I need to slam it. If it's close to where it was yesterday pm I'll just slam it, thought process being, even WITH the SWG running I lost 4 FC ppm overnight...and have...

SW pool opened 3 wks ago. Water looks great. CYA 65. Water Temp mid 80’s. Salt at 3300. FC two mornings ago was 1.4. Added 3 gall bleach and bumped intellichor 30-36. That evening FC was 10.0. Next morn FC was 6. Bumped intellicholr 36-42. That eve FC was 3.0. Added 1 gall bleach. This morning...
