    Strange problem with swimpure SWG. Average reading drops over night.

    Thanks. I’ll swap out the flow switch. Will investigate how to add a timer. I’m certainly not an electrician. Lol.

    Strange problem with swimpure SWG. Average reading drops over night.

    So, I no sooner post this and think I figured it out. I think my flow sensor is bad. I shut the pump off and the no flow light did not light up and the generating light stayed on. That would cause it to update all night with no salt levels detected I think. I'll swap that out ASAP and...

    Strange problem with swimpure SWG. Average reading drops over night.

    So, for the past few days my SWG has developed a strange problem. I've had it about a year, all voltages are within spec, and it's clean. What happens is every morning after the pump starts after being off overnight I get a really low average salt reading (usually around 900). When I...

    Freezing in Central Florida

    Thanks. Water is still at 62. Chems are still good, was just wondering if any harm could come to the SWG if it is running when it is that cold outside. Sounds like I am OK. THANKS!

    Freezing in Central Florida

    I'm also in Central Florida. Its my first winter with a pool and I have a quick question too. When running the filter overnight due to the freeze is it best to leave the SWG on or turn it down to zero?

Prior to adding the Borates, I would have told you that my water couldn't get any better, it was already clear. But due to having to add acid...

    Thinking of adding Borates

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!! Prior to adding the Borates, I would have told you that my water couldn't get any better, it was already clear. But due to having to add acid almost daily I decided to add borates to see if I could slow down my MA consumption rate. According to the Pool...

    Thinking of adding Borates

    Thanks everyone for the info. Does anyone know the answer to my other two questions about how long to wait to swim again and if the SWG needs to be turned off for any length of time while adding the BA? If these have been answered somewhere else, just point me in the right direction. :)...

    Thinking of adding Borates

    TA is 80. I'm OK with not having to add LESS acid, just really want to add it less often.

    Thinking of adding Borates

    I have a new pool (completed June 14) Plaster, SWG 11,865 gallons. I have constant PH rise and go through a Gallon of MA or more ever couple of weeks. I added acid on Saturday and brought the PH down to 7.4 today when I tested it was up to at least 8 (the test kit only goes to 8) so in...

    New Pool owner first time testing with test kit.

    I have a Taylor K-2005 test kit that the PB gave me. He did add Granular Stabilizer into the skimmer.

    New Pool owner first time testing with test kit.

    Thanks Mike! Hope I don't have to drain water already, amazing he threw in a LOT of stabilizer on Monday, I'll test it again tomorrow in hopes I just botched the test, and of course wait for the pros here. :)

    New Pool owner first time testing with test kit.

    Just want to see if I am OK. New Pool, filled a week ago today, will be an SWG pool but for now am using chlorine tabs (provided by PB) in the skimmer. Tested the water today for the first time (PB did it until now) 11,900 gallons, plaster pool with pebble finish and waterfall. Here are my...
