    SWCG Use and CYA

    Have to agree with you about spending extra money for Cynric Acid to lower the potential of the chlorine you paid to make. I have an endless supply of Chlorine. Why would I lower it's potential when I can set my controller at 50% and every other day I have a reading of 3-6PPM of chlorine. KIS...

    My Hayward SWG has crapped out. Pool store recommended something else

    I just shelled out $1000+ for my SWG system so $500 is cheap. You already have the salt and controller. No brainer here spend the $500.

    Is CYA Absolutely Necessary???

    if you don't mine paying the money for electric by all means keep doing what you're doing. It works don't fix it. CYA kind of puts the chlorine to sleep so its not as active. it protects the chlorine from the sun so its not as potent either. This is why commercial pools shy away from CYA(bather...

    You should keep your Calcium levels higher also, the water will pull it out of the concrete 300-400ppm should be good.

    Pressure Question

    Are you sure that your inlets haven't changed like those ball directional covers. They restrict flow and it sounds like you have less restriction somewhere. Is there sand in the pool?

    Vacuum to waste question

    Calcium hardness and vinyl liners

    I tend to disagree with comments about Hardness in vinyl pools. I think its wise to use the langelier index of balanced water. I worked in a water park on the east coast and if I added Calcium on my partners weekend he knew just by looking at the wateron Monday that it was clearer. You don't...

    Time to Slam?

    I though my chlorinator wasn't working so I added Liquid Chlorine and found the water wasn't holding Chlorine. I added two Gallons in the 25,000 gal pool and had a a good 5+ on my comparator test the next day I had zero. I then broke out the Titration kit (Taylor) and now read. Free CL .2 Total...

    Chlorinator not working

    I was looking at the water coming out of the hose on the inlet and just the hole in the pipe on the outet. I just put a hose on the outlet and the pressure looks the same my chlorine just doesn't get any higher I add Liquid to keep it at 2PPM. I want to go on Vacation and let the chlorinator do...

    green green green

    I don't use your method I use Triclor tablets in a chlorinator, start with no CYA it builds gradually but never gets too high. I use a taylor dpd comparator for CL and PH. With these high levels I know I need a titration kit. I went to the store because they are better equipped then I am at this...

    green green green

    Okay I see that so just added 6 Gallons more should hit around 30 ppm.I used to be good at this and haven't had this trouble in a while. Do I have to worry about too high CL level in a vinyl pool.

    Just when I thought I had everything under control...

    Your Combined Chlorine was 1 ppm where .2 is the limit you are locked in combines and shocking should have cleared the pool. If you leave the solar cover on the chloramines can't gas off and remains in the water. Now it seems you can't filter the water because you lowered it to paint. When you...
