Yeah thanks was thinking I might need to get a new swg . Anyone know a good value brand and recommendation for me ? Size etc? I’ll have to edit but I think I’m closer to a 15k. Gallon pool

Hi so last season I had no issues yet again thanks to tfp. One thing I did though was with CYA at around 90-100, I had to run my zodiac ei18 about 12 hours a day at 100% to maintain FC at the high level required during the peak of summer months. If this season I run CYA 50 would I see a...

is that the same for calcium and other tests? thanks

ok thanks ill give that a go, also is it when the sample goes completely red or on the colour shift as soon as some red shows?

This is really doing my head in

yeah as per signature - - - Updated - - - Yeah it’s in my signature 60

So I can not for the life of me figure why like clockwork TA sits nicely for 2 weeks at a time about 60-70 then when ph hits 7.9 i drop to 7.6 then TA measures 90?? Then ph rises maybe 4 days back to 7.9 then add acid back to 7.6 . Then it sits nicely again for two weeks. had pool for 8 months...

thanks. also did you buy new or used? much to look out for used?

thanks! does the swg run like a pool eg through filter then swg?

So now I’ve nailed the Tfp way in looking after my pool , I’m bored and thinking maybe a spa would be cool ? Knowing what I know from pool care what’s the key differences with spa and frequency of checks additions etc ? Can you make it trouble free ? Thanks !

Hi , long story short, I have an extremely old Zane solar heater controller. I thought id get new probes to get it working and it did for a season but now it switches on and off like it’s on the edge of wanting to be on but then turns off. I think the controller is shot . The constant on off...

much appreciated!

anyone know the 24 hr output for the zodiac ei 18 i have? i can only find 0.92 pound for the 35 model....

No filter on my solar

Yeah thanks, sounds about right , guess I’ll order a check valve and put it in at the pump outlet

So pretty standard solar setup with solar Matt on second story roof , vacuum release valve on roof and pump at ground level all on its own system seperate to main pump and filter. has worked fine for the year I’ve had the house and pump has been there for at least 6 years. Pump recenlty died...

going on info in my signature what size cartridge filter do you recommend . Im thinking of changing the 20 year old original sand filter for a newbie that can filter a little finer also my new dolphin x30 has been the best pool purchase ever!!!

inlike the sound of this . Any idea looking at the pumps I have what size vs I’d need to use to get similar flow at low speed ? - - - Updated - - - there are no stickers on my sand filter , it’s pretty old ??

maybe i will have to look at variable , do you need to change filter or anything to still get skimming filtering ability on low or just plug and play? Im assuming with a robot hopefully i just need to skim on low speed during the day maybe?

Hi All, Looking to replace my two pool pumps with the Quietest available. I have solar panels so variable speed for reduced cost is not necessary and not sure if running 24 hours on low speed is really needed in my situation especially if i go with a robot but im open to suggestions. I am also...

Thanks all

Thanks all!

Is this normal ? I assume the better mixing is more accurate . FC seems to be lower than expected by around 2ppm TA higher than expected 20ppm CH lower than expected 75ppm

Ok , since TFP my pool is so boring to look after.....what else can I do to spice it up a bit! haha

thanks to be clear the issue was after reduced from 1500 so was below -1.0 according to my logs when input to poolmath

so now it looks like when i thought my csi was a bit low but ok when i was lowering calcium hardness from previous owner of over 1500 it was actually way low! over -1.0. that now leads me to think my calcium scale issue posted here which i was confused about might have been calcium being leeched...

thats what i have been doing but when i select F it is giving the error becuase it must actually be celsius in the background somewhere. I guess ill use the pool math website to confirm app CSI.

There seems to be a massive difference between the same temp in Celsius and Fahrenheit

Thanks for the reply but that’s not what the app is telling me ?? - - - Updated - - - Those figures I posted give me -0.14 then when I change temp to 90 it goes to +0.4 - - - Updated - - - At 7.8 it becomes around +.8 at 90 f im confused

FC 10 PH 7.5 TA 70 CH 400 CYA 80 SALT 4000 BOR 35 CURRENT TEMP 48 so the TFP way has been brilliant and im not having any issues apart from what i fixed from previous owner. Coming into our summer later this year i just need to clean up some scale and good to go. what im confused about my...
