So my pool is now at 54 degree water temp, 50ppm CYA, 5ppm FC, 0ppm CC, and ph 7.5, I am wondering if, when closing, should I simply add some liquid chlorine and cover soon after? Or do I need to follow the entire SLAM process, even though the water is pretty cold, and crystal clear right now.

So i have a few questions, first: this is first season with SWG and new clean water, the lady at the pool store said I have to add chlorine directly to the pool, like a shock, even with a SWG to get it up to level, is that true? second: since it’s fresh water with no CYA at first, and the pool...

This is the opposite problem I had last summer, when my pool water had crazy high levels of CYA. Since then I have replaced my liner, converted to SWG, and refilled the pool with new city water. Now I have everything up and running and got my salt levels at about 3500ppm. But I am having an...

Last fall, the old liner ruptured, 21ft above ground, so before closing I put a new liner in, and filled it with clean local tap water. i didn’t add anything before closing and the water is still perfectly clear. currently we have a cartridge filter, but we want to go with a SWG setup, so I...

So I have lots of sand accumulating on the floor of my pool, and I have found one hole in the vinyl floor. The hole is about an inch long and looks sort of like it was a “cut” that has opened up about a 1/4” wide, with rough edges. It doesn’t appear to have eroded away much of the sand below...

I’ve been visiting TFP for a while now, but just now registered today. I received my K-2006 test kit a few days ago and I am looking forward to switching over to the methodology taught here at TFP. For the past decade plus we have been rather fortunate to not really have any real issues with...
