I used 3 182 oz containers....really just brought it up to shock level, I think. I just didn't get it circulated well. It looks like there is a lightened line around the pool at the water level. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all, I have only used the TFP method for our pool and it has worked out great. Unfortunately this winter and spring I have made some very bad decisions - and I KNEW BETTER but never the less here's my story - Last fall I bought a new pool cover, once we got it on the pool we realized it was...

What does my water temperature need to be before I turn on my SWG? We opened our pool this week and it is already beautiful and sparkling thanks to BBB. The BIG pool store's pools were green I noticed. heehee

I have the TF100 kit. I love it! Only problelm is I can't stop testing the water. I will retest the Ca.

Aquatrol was installed today. I haven't turned it on yet because I have to add more salt. The manual says we should have a Ca level of 200-400. Is this critical? The manual has a calculation for the Si which should be between 0.2 and -0.2. Mine is -2.25. if I figured correctly FC 3 pH7.2 TA100...

The water looks great. Last night we added 3lbs cya and 3lb baking soda, and 1 jug of bleach and retested this am and those are the numbers I posted. I stopped at a local pool store today to see their prices on chemicals. Every time I tell someone I am adding liquid chlorine, bleach, they look...

Here are my numbers. FC 4.5 CC 0 TC 4.5 PH 7.2 TA 80 CH 80 CYA 20 Last night we put 3 lbs cya in, my understanding is it will take a while for the number to rise?? We also put bleach and baking soda. It looks like to me we need more baking soda to raise PH and TA?? Do we worry about CH? Since...

Hey MikeinTN, where did you get your SWG? Did you install? I am beginning to feel like I did when we first got our latest pet Bearded Dragon, and our dogs, and our children for that matter. Oh my gosh, what have I done, run to the store, feed it lots and after all that hard work FUN and...

THANKS!!!

Ok, so if I have them take the permasalt system off, I can add a SWG or liquidator product later right? So what chemicals will I need to start off with? Should I do tests of the fill water and go from there?

Should I toss the mineral ionizer "permasalt" dooey?? I had been lurking on this site for almost a year and knew what I wanted. I just didn't ask enough questions when I bought the pool. If it makes you feel better we are doing braces next month also and starting allergy shots for both my kids...

Pfleavell, Every connection is leaking! They also did not send me the proper start up chemicals. I am still at a loss as to what to do with this permasalt system. Did they explain it to you? I went to the store and knew what I wanted. I asked for a SWG and ended up with what is apparently an...

So you thnk I should put in some chlorine for now? If it will spare me a headache later in the week then we will do it. I wonder If I could add the permasalt which is salt, borates, and cya now and stir it up. Or the dichlor, or just liquid bleach? Is there one spot that lists ideal chemistry...

The plumbing was leaking once the pool got full. Watson's is coming Tues to fix. Loyd Luck! Should I test now and add some chlorine even though there is no circulation (ok really my husband is in it circulating the water right now). We have been shoveling dirt for 2 days and there is no way we...

The black cord goes to the light. Once we are full and the filter is going I think I just dump in the bucket of "perma"salt. Does this sound right. I have the "duraleigh" test kit and will post numbers after the filter has been going a while. pfleavell, Watson's did tell me they would do a...

Your pool looks very similar to mine but I have the salt system. I think we will be able to start up the filter tomorrow if the electrician comes. Let me know how it goes when you start up. Do you know how long you have to wait to start swimming?

There is a line from the skimmer to the pump and I have no idea what the black line is, power maybe? Do you think this is a good system? pleavell, my pictures were too big also and I could not figure out how to resize, so I joined Photobucket (free) and uploaded the pictures there, then you...

Here are pictures of the filter and permasalt system. (I hope)

Is the filter also the ionizer? It is called a Voyager 150 sq ft 1.5 hp molecular sieve liberty gold element system by Hayward. Can I still do the BBB system with this.? Thanks for your help. Jill

Ok I am going to try to put pictures on. The instructions mention Total Dissolved Solids 1000 min ppm in order to achieve an accurate level of the natuarl mineral residual, copper. Copper should be maintained between .3-.5 ppm. Is my hair going to turn green using this stuff? How do you test for...

Yup, I have a feeling it is the pool company's brand. The pool company is Watson's. I couldn't find anything about it either, so I am feeling a little nervous about it. Thanks for the quick reply. Jill

We had a 27ft 52 d AGP installed today. Total gallons are supposed to be 18600. We are filling now and hopefully will be done by Sun. We have a Hayward cartridge filter with a permasalt system. The permasalt does not seem like what I have read about on this site. The installers did not tell us...
