No, it's not connected to Aqualink at all, should it be? It is just on the wall mounted unit to control it. So right now I set it for 12hr run time with 80% generation. I believe that matches your rough math?

In spa mode it still runs through the SWG, basically main pool is bypassed.

Currently 7am to 6pm. I was considering changing to run longer, or would is be better to increase the generation %? We also sometimes run the spa mode, which basically stops the filter in the main pool for several hours a day.

Thanks Allen, I am trying to get this info now. It is actually the in-laws pool and trying to help them. SWCG is same age as the pool, roughly 5 years. Pool temp is around 82-87. SWCG is set for 60% right now. I will report back with more once I get it.

Hi there, unfortunately I have been out of town and yet to install it. Hoping to do it soon and will report back.

Hi everyone, we have a 5 year old small salt pool and spa combo in SW Florida, roughly 12k gallons or so. It has a gas heater, and we recently added a solar heater. Since we are only living at the house part of the year, we have a pool service who is supposed to be cleaning and maintaining...

FWIW, I got one and will be testing it, I will post my results in a few weeks.

From the research I’ve done you just recharge the Battery a few times a year and the sensors can be replaced if needed. It’s meant to be a long term device and not disposable. Also curious if anyone can attest to it.

Has anyone used this? Seems really cool but can’t find many reviews. Similar to Sutro and Phin. https://idealwatercare.com/shop/ols/products/xn-icare-water-made-easy-water-monitoring-device-ig84a

I've read pretty good reviews on this site about the Saltron mini, I currently use the bleach method but it can be hard to keep adding daily chlorine. I have a 500 Gal tub with ozone. Just curious on everyone's opinion, I've heard a few people mention how the salt can harm some equipment.

Thanks everyone for the replies, all sound like valid points! FYI My local spa repair guy advised me to set to vacation mode and just have a neighbor dump in chlorine once a week, then refill when I get back.

Hi guys, any worries about freezing??

Hi everyone, I have a Hydropool Self clean model with UV/ozone that uses liquid chlorine. I have to leave town for about 2 months. Any suggestions on how to best leave the tub? I am going to drain and refill when I return regardless. I was thinking of just setting to "vacation" mode and...

Sometimes I add fresh water from the hose to cool it down, can usually drop it pretty quick with 55 degree water. I need water often anyway due to kids splashing...

Got it, I understand. I have been checking my PH daily and even with the Liquid Chlorine my PH has been in range. I will keep a close watch on it!

Thanks everyone! He specifically used the words "liquid CL will eat your spa up" regarding the liquid chlorine, I am assuming he means people putting too much in or something and hurting the equipment/seals? Appreciate that! I have come up with a similar calculation using the above and pool...

Thanks @RDspaguy ! So I was talking to my local dealer service tech, and he was pretty against using liquid chlorine and said to only use Dichlor after use. My question is how do I keep up with bather demand with just Dichlor? It seems like since we have 4-6 people using ours daily, I would...

Love the idea. I have the same issue as my ozonator destroys the FC overnight.

Hello, I have been following the helpful advice of the folks on this site and also doing the dichlor/bleach method. I have been using 10% bleach after use, but I think i am not using quite enough as I had some cloudiness and doing some SLAM now to clear. We regularly have 3 or 4 adults and 3...

Just an FYI, I emailed the company and they said NO, not at this time.

Does anyone have a water guru and use it for a hot tub? I know it's meant for a pool skimmer, but my tub has a large skimmer. I would have to think of a way to modify it but it could work I think? Thoughts?

Hey all, is bleach ok to use? I can't read the label very well in the pic? Trying to find something that can be delivered and not crazy expensive. https://www.walmart.com/ip/New-Clorox-Disinfecting-Bleach-Regular-Concentrated-Formula-121-Ounce-Bottle/341539270

So it seems like I've been using WAY too much Dichlor in my tub. After I drain and refill, I can either go with the Dichlor/bleach method, or would it be ok to use Dichlor ONLY but maximum dose of around .25 oz per day? By using pool math that should be sufficient for my size hot tub? 430...

Thanks. I am getting .5 FC reading due to Ozone I assume?

Hello I have a 2 week old 500 gallon Hydropool with Ozone. I have been adding 2oz of granulated Dichlor daily as we have a large family of 7. Today I tested the CYA as very high around 200-300. Am I doing something wrong that this happened so soon? I am aware of the regular bleach method...

Hi everyone, I have a new Hydropool 770P with Ozone and UV-C. It has a built in dispenser in the filter for 1" tablets. My dealer told me to add granulated Dichlor daily, but I am worried about being able to do this daily if I am traveling etc. I read the benefits of Dichlor over Trichlor...

Yah I agree it's confusing. So my control panel doesn't have beginner. It came set to "Standard", which has a filter cycle set for 12pm, 6pm, and midnight that runs for 6 hours. There are no economy schedules set. Beyond standard it has the away, energy saver, super energy saver, and...

Thanks do you know what standard mode is? It’s not described in the manual.

Hello, I have a new Hydropool 770 spa. It has several filtering and heating modes which are explained poorly in the manual. We use it daily right now, should I just leave it in standard filtering mode? I am assuming it is cleaning and heating 24/7. TIA! WATER CARE The Water Care section...

Hi RDspaguy, have you ever heard of these? Apparently they only use a Dichlor so no extra CYA? Any thoughts...
