Hi we noticed in Tuesday that our pool is leaking. This is not our first leak so we’re able to quickly narrow it down to the buddy seat. With the previous leak the due was clearing spiraling away, this time it’s slower ( water level dropping less rapidly) the dye is gathering at the edge as...

Hi Two weeks ago I got a low salt message on my SWG and no chlorine production. I did a test confirmed salt level was fine. I then took the generator apart to clean the cell - I did acid wash 1pt muriaric acid 4pt water (I did not see any bubbles?) Put it all back together and everything was...

This season I've been doing so well for not getting algae; but recently we have had some summer storms and low the bottom was green. I've done my shock and passed OFCT so all back on track. I was chatting a colleague and he has recommended the us of: Natural Chemistry Phosfree My question is...

HI We just a tonne of rain & everything went off balance got diluted so now my pool is cloud and I'm preparing to shock. We've learned over the years to get the pH right before going into shock. So my numbers are: CYA 45 (will increase post SLAM) FC ~6 (needs to increase but see question) pH 7.4...

We've just opened our pool for the season came off slam 2 days ago so swg was turned on. We had low salt reading and non generating alert. Today we confirmed salt (drop test 3000ppm) and jet washed generator so for last 7hrs it's been running at 80%. I just tested at 4ppm fc but was anticipating...

Hi All its the end of the season in Jersey so we're closing our pool. This is our first full season as a saltwater pool which has been great from a pool chemistry perspective however we have now come to take the metal steps out of the concrete pool surrounded and they stuck fast due to...

Hi This is our second season with a SWG. We're 4 weeks into this season I use the pool math app to set & adjust my SWG. Does the run time & percentage numbers take into account natural daily loss? What is typical daily loss? Per the app to replace 4ppm i need to run my generator for 20hrs at 50%...

Hi we're mid slam so have our FC high - 25-30ppm. I put a range because my husband has done three tests and got three different results. Is this a known issue with high FC? Should we err to the lower number or higher? We've been using a syringe to get exactly 10ml sample and are using the proper...

HI Our pool has been open for the season for about 4 weeks now. First 3 weeks water crystal clear but for the last few days I've noticed a slight haze to it. To the untrained eye its clear but my husband and I can tell its cloudy (mildly cloudy). We have a SWG, our levels this morning were: FC...

Hi TFP forum We've just got our pool open for the season and are looking for a robotic cleaner. Can anyone recommend a cleaner that is reliable (last more than 3 years), does a good job, is good value for money. Many thanks!

Hi We live in NJ so only have our pool open for ~3mth per year but during this time it causes us no end of head ache with the continual fight against algae. This year we replaced the liner (in ground vinyl ~29k gallons), Pump; Pureline variable speed and converted to SWG - again Pureline. We...

Hi We've just converted to SWG system and had three weeks of crystal clear water. This weekend I thought tge pool looked a little cloudy then yesterday evening I notice yellow sandlike residue on the steps. I brushed and had the filter running all night yesterday fc was 5ppm (maybe 6ppm) cc 0.5...

Moved from here. Hi Similar / related question. We have just install a Pureline SWG. Our cl levels are holding steady but when we check the diagnostics throughout the day we often see current as zero when the pump is on and the generating light is illuminated. also instant salinity shows at zero...
