Thanks Tex. I had the same thought the other day...before I buy anything expensive, let's just have the water tested, so I went to my local Pinch-a-Penny and sure enough my CYA had dropped to 20 PPM. My little inexpensive test kit doesn't include this one...lesson learned. I brought the CYA...

I let the pump run all night last night and indeed the chlorine level was quite high this morning, so now I know I can just jigger the run time for the pump to keep things in good shape for the moment. I hadn't heard that acid washing the generator would decrease its effectiveness...why would...

For salt testing, I use a device from my wife's salt water aquarium but it's usually pretty close to what the control box is saying. As to AquaRite vs Naturesoft, the box itself says Hayward SwimPure+ but the manuals and everything I got when I moved into the house all say AquaRite, so I don't...

Hey all, I've noticed that my ~13,500 gallon outdoor pool is reading low chlorine even though the pump is running 9 hours a day and the AquaRite SWCG is at 100%. It's a t-3 cell which has worked well since I bought the home three years ago. The prior owner put it in sometime before that, so...

Hi folks. I live at Amelia Island, just outside Jacksonville FL, and my pool is just meters away from the salt marsh. Pool is in-ground 15,000 gallons with salt water/chlorine generator. I test it every week and keep chlorine, Ph and alkalinity levels where they're supposed to be. I don't...

I grew up with a swimming pool in our backyard, and for several seasons during my high school years I took care of not only our pool but also worked with a service to maintain pools in our town. So I thought I knew a thing or two...but that was nearly 40 years ago! We moved into our new home in...
