copy all and thank you.

May seem simple to figure out but I’m perplexed ! I Darn down my pool system for the winter 1.5 months ago. We’ve had a warmer than usual winter in my region. I’ve notice lots of algae and lots of leaves / Crud in the bottom of the pool. I cleaned out the leaves , super shocked the pool...

Pretty basic question, but my drop bottles and test kit is pretty much out. Is there a "season" to buy smartly? What I mean is, I don't want to purchase a kit that expires January 2019....or buy old stuff, so when is good to buy so that doesn't happen? thoughts?

They are lifts from the foundation under the pool. Cracking of some sort. I think CJ hit it on the head. I'll just have to watch them for now and see how things go. Question: Whats the worst case scenerio......? At the crack site it stretches the liner and then is there a way to...

thanks! Appreciate the idea. FLAK

Gsrel. I heard the same thing. that would be a good topic to search in TFP forums.....

This thread may help you in your decision along with all of the other great advice you are receiving. Are SWG's really worth the hype? your experience beforevsafter, recommend type you can always read the SWG forum as well, and do searches in forums for specific topics you may be looking for...

Flamethrower....epic. i like it. Although, probably wont use it on the pool bugs, but it could have many other useful uses! lol I don't have an algea issue, my pool is 20x40, rather large. there is a lot of water, so i dunno. I'll check the SLAM process and see if it works...

ugh. thanks for Fyi. The pool is about 15 or so years old. The pool liner though is new as of April 2017 when we purchased the house. I've noticed these "crack pop ups" as I call them show more and more over the past year.....so i've got my concerned face on. Thinking ahead, will...

All, **note** this is a temporary idea. Not meant for a permenant fix! use at your own discretion. I recently had to send my SWG Unit and cell back to manufacturer to get checked out. I saw how expensive dummy cells were (40-80bucks!) So I thought id share my experience on making my...

Anyone know how to get rid of these things called Water Boatmen? They seam to not want to go away. there are about 10 in my pool currently. blah.

TFP patrons, Has anyone seen this. I am getting settling on my vinyl pool floor. It is causing a few places to shift up and looks like my floor may break/crack. comments and advice on what to do appreciated. FLAK

Thanks for the follow ups and great conversations! I've been a little busy to reply sooner. As being new to a SWG (having one for only a few months) I would AGREE and say a SWG is worth the investment so far. putting in a little bit a M. Acid in every week or other week is minimal when...

Talked with Support. Very helpful. I learned that depending on the model of the Cell, it will generate X amount of pounds of Chlorine in a 24hr period. The percentage signs we see on the digital screen (ie: what we make it go from 0% to 100%) is actually how much of the daily value of the...

Thank you

I have a standard underwater pool light. I have noticed water behind the glass. Is this normal for pool lights? I currently have the breaker shut off so it does not recieve power so its safe to swim. If it is normal to have water in the pool, how do i know or what procedures do I do...

Thanks for the insight all. For the wiring config, I have the motor running on the constant power which feeds the timer power. (line 1 and 3 I believe) *so both the pump and the timer are always receiving power. The timer which turns power on/off on line 2 and 4. That is what I have...

TFP experts and members. TFP advice has saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars and through thoughtful advice has saved me a lot of pool troubles. After many months of soaking up all the advice I could I felt I could do my part and give back by becoming a supporter. Thank you TFP!!!!

Follow up and question with a problem: I converted my pool to a salt pool, replaced my single speed motor with a VS green motor, and added the SWG RJ-45 as previously mentioned. Using the poolmath calculator everything is going great! 1 problem I’m running into : the SWG is on my old...

"good thing we have pools" truth

Perfect. thank you!

MN, I just installed the V-green 1.65, and a SWG last weekend myself. Youtube was great learning all the steps and works flawlessly. I have yet to do automation, so this thread is helpful. Still trying to understand all of the terminology you all are talking about...but in time.

thanks for the date breakdown. good to know..... do you think that's the same for all brands?

copy thanks, will do. before I converted my pool this past weekend, I didn't have a need for higher reading test, but....i'll be jumping back on the boat..
