Quick question. I've read to check the manufactures suggested CYA level for CYA when using a SWCG, but mine (Polaris Autoclear Plus) says to check local requirements. So is it necessary to have CYA at all when chlorine is being generated daily? I'm currently trying to lower the PH in the pool...

Hey thanks everyone for your replies. It turns out that the water level was low. I hadn't even thought of it or bothered to look, mostly because we have an auto-fill, and because we've had rain lately. The float was stuck in the up position, and there was a bit of corrosion where the float arm...

Interesting. On the bottom part of the float valve is a flap that is being held in by the phillips type screw on the bottom. There's no visible damage that I can see. The flap can freely move left and right, which is the way I remember it when it was new (less than a year ago). There is...

I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. We had our pool put in last summer, and had a couple of weeks of swim time without a problem. Recently our skimmer has been acting up. It seems like the float valve is closing when the pump comes on, giving us no suction to the skimmer. When i...

Allright good deal. Thanks alot Jason.

Hey everyone. Got a quick question regarding the chlorine level in our pool. I posted a few days ago with all of my levels and my chlorine level was a bit low, and the ph a little high. I added acid to adjust the ph, and cranked up the SWCG (POLARIS) to 5 hours a day. After testing this for...

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. Yeah I'm not sure about the CYA. The pool has been filled for almost 4 weeks now, and between me and the start up guy, I think about 4 lbs. have been put in. I have read (maybe somewhere her) that you need to have higher CYA with a salt water chlorine...

Hey guys. Got my new Taylor test kit today. How are my results looking? FC 1.4 CC 0.2 PH 7.8 TA 100 CH 290 CYA 30 Its a 1500 gallon plaster pool with a Polaris SWCG. I know I need to bring the Chlorine up and the PH down a bit. Any other advice? Thanks.

Hey everyone. Another new pool owner here with more noob questions. We just had our 16k gallon gunite/white plaster pool filled the other day. It sat for about 24 hours after it was filled until the PB showed up. They vaccumed it, and ran the pump for about an hour or so, then turned everything...
