A question/observation: The outlet of my generator contains FC levels probably in the tens of thousands, which should be an insta kill for any bacteria. I can actually see the chlorine going into the pool off the cells when it starts. The water gets turned over continuously....maybe not in the 8...

Thanks Tex. I used 10 ml last year but i I've been trying to dial in swg this year. I figured the stirrer had to be correct. I will take your advice and stick with 10 ml magnetic. Good thing we didn't get sick last year under chlorinating!

I started using the magnetic stirrer this year and just assumed everything was fine. I still use my Taylor reagents etc, just with the auto stirrer now. I assumed I was doing everything right. In the past I have cheated a bit with chlorine especially. If I knew I was generally around 4 ppm...

Thank you. I'll have a look. I would use the hose but I will probably be doing it 2-4 times/week.....city water $$.

Looking for a small pump to transfer 100-200 gallons from grown up pool to kiddie pool and then back to big pool in evening. Just looking for something small/not powerful. Any suggestions?

Building a deck around a portion of my pool and id like a small plastic slide for the kids maybe 6 feet or so, suppprted by braces from underneath. Anyone seen this, or maybe a product like this? I didnt get any hits on tfp search, not sure I had my settings right though

So no relationship, thanks for the reply.

Filled my pool using city water I was having trouble keeping FC above 1. I started boosting SWCG all day, and was yielding results of around 4 FC after 24 hours of boost. I then went to regular 12 hour run time for SWCG at night, then checking FC when I got home in the evening. It was always...

Newbie owner here If my FC is staying around 4 with a CYA of 50, why raise to 70-80? I understand the effectiveness of FC decreases as CYA increases, so why raise the proportion? Im at 50 CYA hovering around 3.8-4.2 FC every evening. My PH is around 8, I havent tackled that yet. I will after...

Dave I understand the point about the height. My 6 year old is learning. My 4 year old not yet. They are 42" and 36". I dont think it would be much fun being in a pool over your head all summer, but thats a great idea for later in the season. Thanks for taking the time to reply

It was not enough for intake into pump initially. I get suction through the skimmer basket, with the tube draped over the frame. I may change it later, but it will require engineering

Thank both of you for the answers and the links

New pool owner please forgive my ignorance. I have recently installed and filled my new 24x52 agp. I am lesving it lowered at 30" so my 6 and 4 year old can touch. I have an intex 3000 gpm sand filter/pump combo and intex salt water generator. I have added salt over the last few days and im...
