This is the first year I have left my pool open in winter. We have had below freezing temps at night for over a week. I know the SWG does not produce chlorine below 60. My water temp right now is 47. I leave my pump running 24/7 except when I am dipping leaves. I have the SWG at 00. It...

I have no manual. Previous owner installed it in spring of 2016. We bought the house in fall of 2016. I called the pool store who used to open and close my pool but no longer will since I do not buy chemicals from them. They said the cell probably needs to be replaced. $1000-$1500. or more...

Since the SLAM, 2 weeks ago, the TC has been extremely high. I added 250 lbs of salt after the SLAM according to pool math and ran the SWG for 24 hours at 100%. I now have it set on 35% 24-7. Today's readings: FC -16 x .5 = 8 CC - 1 x .5 =.5 TC - 8.5 Total Alk = 60 CYA = 50 added 27 oz...

A new service opened my pool today. My old one went out of business. I did a backwash and rinse and was going to clean the filter in front of the pump and these were in the basket. I knew my old service put them in there when they closed my pool last Oct. two are right side up and two are...

I have put my numbers into pool math to start SLAM and I keep getting this message. (Your target is outside the recommended range) My pool isn't dark green but I cannot see the bottom even in the shallow end. I can see all 3 steps. I have vacuumed twice and swept 3 times. Just opened...

Just had the pool opened yesterday. We had 2.1 inches of rain last night. I need to release some water from the pool. I checked the chemicals early this a.m. Pool math says I need to add 8 lbs dry stabilizer, 16 pounds of Borax and 120 lbs of salt. Is there a certain order I need to add...

My Haywood pump has a leak at the bottom (drain hole?). I can see where it has white threading tape before. I have the pump turned off. Can I just take that cap off and put some new on? Or will lots of water gush out? Do I need to call a plumber or pool guy?

My FC today tested 14. and CC .5. It has been over a month since my SLAM and the FC fluctuates between 7 and 14. My CYA is 60. Pool math always tells me to add stabilizer and I do. I don't understand why the stabilizer is always low with such a high FC. I know from reading that I can't get...

I did a full test this a.m. Since the slam, my FC just fluctuates between 9 and 8. My slam was passed on 7-27. How long before FC returns to normal? These are the chemicals I have added since the slam using pool math. 7-29 1 pound 7 oz stabilizer 8-9 42 oz 6% bleach 8-9 13 ounces...

Since my SLAM last week, my FC is coming down very slowly. Today it is down to 8.5, TA 110, CYA 70, PH 7.8 How much liquid bleach (with my FC that high), should I be adding each day? I've had my SWG set on 55 but I turned it down to 20 this a.m. BTW I've attempted several times to donate...

I started my slam yesterday. Pool Math and nice people said I needed to get my chlorine up to 16 for my pool. I started with 4 gallons @6% according to Pool Math. My FC was at 10.5. I added another gal. at 3:30 and at 4:30, FC was 13.0 I added another gal at 5:15 Tested at 6:00 and FC was...

I took the OCLT and lost about 1.5. My PH is high so I just added Muriatic Acid in front of the return in the deep end to hopefully bring it down to 7.2 and will be checking again in 2 hours. FC is 3 right now and calls for a SLAM of 28. Do I need to balance anything else before I start the...

This in-ground, vinyl liner, pool came with the house. It is 20,000 gallons. (Yes, I'll have to do the pool math.) Today the readout says the salinity is 3.0 My question is, what does the Salt generator need to be set on? The pool store says 20 but at 20 the salinity drops below the...
