Thanks I was thinking of using bleach but how do you regulate? Just keep extra bleach around in case you need to add to raise?

Hey all I checked my chlorine level today and it was basically zero - my salt level is showing 2700 but my test strips are showing 3700. I have cleaned my cell. My check salt level is flashing all the time but my power and generating lights are green. I added shock because I don't want to lose...

Tech guy what vacuum do you use?

I only have 1 return so I could use that to run a pressure cleaner, if I did what would you recommend, what is this inline leaf/debris canister you mention? I want to avoid using my skimmer if at possible, and there are a lot of electrics out there that seem to be hit and miss so I was looking...

Hey everyone I have done some searching but can't find any good reviews. I am looking for a new cleaner, don't want to break the bank but I need one that is independent of the skimmer. My skimmer basket is small and it doesn't take much to fill it up when using the hand vacuum. I would like...

.59 + .04 = .63 not .99 - regardless go buy 3 or 4 jugs of bleach and at least start bringing your cl up until you get your test kit

I would say low chlorine is the cause you have basically none...you will need to being it to shock level and follow the instructions in the pool school

I add mine in my skimmer every year - little bit at a time, never have any issues. As long as you take your time and don't backwash for a few days you get the same results as a sock - I have done it both ways

Yeah mine did as well the only difference is the width of the wire terminals but you can spread them easily to line up with the board

It was the inrush limiter - I changed it out a couple weeks ago - thanks

I am ordering the inrush limiters from Digikey as I think this will also fix my problem. When you look in the box it has as an AS32, not an SL32, the only difference appears to be the width of the prongs - for anyone that has used the SL32 did you have any issues? Did you just spread the...

If you are draining below the skimmer you can set it to waste and it bypasses your sand filter - you are essentially performing a long back wash which won't hurt just takes longer

We have a dealer installed matrix - they recommended a SWG system and warrantied it - out of the ones you listed it has the least amount of "metal" components. This is our 4th summer with no issues, make sure you use the right hardware around the perimiter of the pool (stainless).

Hey We came home from vacation and my chlorine level had dropped significantly. When I opened the control panel I noticed none of the lights were on. When I turned the pump off and back on the no flow light flashes for about 15s which is normal than the generate light stays solid green for...

Started DE last night do u have to add more each time you backwash?

I also heard from my local pool place that Dolphin was coming out with an AG cleaner I have to go today so I will ask if he has any information yet

Aquabot pool rover jr or pool rover S2-40, I have the S2-40 for my 27 and it works great second season with it no issues.

Thanks I am going to find some today.

I am thinking about adding some DE to help clear up the dead algae - sand filter I have been shocking since sat and water is nice and blue still cloudy where do you buy it and is there a generic or common name for this stuff?

I have passed 2 of the 3 my water is nice blue just not crystal clear is this because I have a sand filter? Is it safe to stop if I pass the overnight test again tomorrow if I am not perfectly clear or do I need to keep going? I just hate to keep adding bleach if the only reason it isn't clear...

Thanks started shocking Sunday Am looking better just thankful it wasnt to bad going to vacuum and backwash tonight keeping FC around 24 any other levels I should be checking while in Shock mode? When it is clear do I allow the chlorine level to drop to the level on the CYA chart and than test...

Thanks for all the posts

Ph: 8.2

FCC: 4.5 TA: 70 CYA: 70 Salt: 3000 PPM

Pool chemicals are normal, we have a little bit of green algae starting to form. Pump is running 24/7. 17k gallon AGP salt water ... Any thoughts or suggestions on how to stop this algae from growing/becoming worse??? All help is appreciated

You may run into roots with it being that close to the tree depending on how far down you have to go level, you definitely don't want roots growing under.

If your chlorine levels drop and your CYA is correct you are not running your salt system long enough - we have a 27' round and my pump and salt system run 16hrs (system is off from 10pm-6am) a day to maintain an FC of about 6-7. You can use the pool calculator and add the recommended amount of...

Saltwater = Resin, we love our 27' matrix.

Time for the initial staining of our deck, I am sending the wife and kids out of town next weekend. Ofcourse our deck was built with pressure treated wood, it has been standing for about 9mnts and is weathered good. What is everyone using these days? Need some advice on what stain/weather...

You are correct - we installed a new pool last year, and because of the ground, being grassy and weedy prior, we installed it for the simple fact of protecting the liner. They say it is cut to size, wrong, my installer actually placed the pad down prior to the wall rail and once the pool was up...
