    new t-15 cell won't recalibrate

    I keep getting Hi salt readings on my SWG so it's not producing any chlorine. We've drained almost 1/3 or the pool, refilled and tried still no luck. SWG says salt is 4200. Strips and pool store say around 3200. I tried the steps to recalibrate but after I push the diagnostic button 5 times and...

    How to dispose of Muriatic Acid after soak?

    We are going to soak our SWG cell in muriatic acid to clean it (and hope it fixes it). But once it's done soaking, how do we dispose of the acid? Also, Hubby wants to soad it over night, will that be too long?

    Blue Haven Smartpure Sanitizer inspect cell/low salt light

    We run our pump 24/7 and have our SWG turned up to 70-80% and now inspect cell and low salt lights are on. We've added a lot of salt, more than usual and it still says low salt. I'm guessing it's gone bad. This is our 3rd season in this house, so I'm guessing it's reached it's max life, not sure...

    Here are my numbers: FC .5 ph 2.8 TA 140 CYA 0....gets a little cloudy when I do the black dot test but doesn't go away. I'm superchlorinating now. (I think I have a cell issue even though it's been inspected because we are on 80 and run the pump 24 hours a day). So, the pool calculator says...

    Should I be covering my pool at night while fighting algae?

    We have an automatic cover and we cover it nightly. We also run our pump 24/7 although I'd like to get away from that once we are over this algae ordeal. Should we cover it at night? That's usually when we shock it so I didn't know if it needed to "breathe" while doing that or if it was okay to...

    Where is filter pressure info?

    I can't find information about what it should be and when to backwash. Pool store told us to just do it once a week and we'd be fine, but I'm learning quickly not to trust the pool store. So, how do I know? Current pressure is about 22.

    Okay here are my numbers: FC 3 TC 3 CC 0 ph 7.2 TA 110 CYA 0???? I never lose the black dot when I test either.

    Help! Numbers "look good" but my pool is soo cloudy!

    We've had trouble all week...started Tuesday morning. Pool started looking a little cloudy. Took sample to pool store. Don't have those readings with me now, but CYA was 0, so we added 6 lbs of stabilizer (18,000 gallon, SWG, vinyl liner, seasonal pool) and Muriatic acid. The next morning it was...
