Moved from HERE Hi! I have the same heater but it's 3 years old, and the same noise problem. I have replaced the thermal regulator, but still the same noise. When I remove the regulator, the noise goes away. Have you been able to find out the cause of the noise on your system? Thank You Peter

When I put on my Winter Safety Cover should I open my Automatic Pool Cover, or should I leave it closed or does it many any difference? Thank You.

Thanks! The water is clear, no issues there. The invisible stuff I have an issue with. Something is eating the FC, but not for long. I am not a pool person swimming-wise - it's too wet, but I enjoy taking care of it, my wife loves it and the rain is supposed to stop in the morning so she might...

At what point can you go back to swimming after SLAMing your pool?

Thanks! I was looking at the wrong chart! And I did fail the Overnight Chlorine Test so I will be SLAMing my pool before adjusting CYA.

Why CYA up to 80, the chart shows 80* - with the asterisk? I don't know if it's "easy peasy" but it's fun.

I did sweep the pool this morning and the same thing happened a white/greyish subsistence coating the robot filter. I do sweep the pool on regular basis with a wire brush but only the floor, not the walls. I did the walls this morning and I did have the grayish cloud where I was sweeping...

CYA is at 50, it was at 70 last week and for a few weeks prior. I usually run the SWG at 30% for 6 to 8 hours and it was fine until now. The guy that installed the pool told me to run it at 20%, but that did not last long. I have not been running my pump at night. I did not do the Overnight...

Thank You so much !!!

Three days ago I checked the chlorine and it was right on, the next day my wife, granddaughter, and the granddog was in the pool for a couple of hours. Yesterday I checked the chlorine and there was none. Normally the chlorine generator runs at 30%, I raised that 60% and run it for about 8...

I had a dispute with my pool builder about electrical conduits not buried deep enough, but long story short I did not pay for the electrical work and instead fixed the issue myself. In order to lower the conduits, I had to cut them. After I cut the conduits I noticed water coming out out of the...

Thank You for your help I do appreciate it!!!

Thanks, I had some on hand so I added as PoolMath advised.

CSI = 0.80

Thank You so much!!! PoolMath is great, but nothing beats someone with experience giving you advice. Should I add chlorine as the PoolMath says - or something with SWG? (Going to Menards to get more acid)

What's the best way to correct these numbers? Here are my readings 1 week after adding salt and using the pool a couple of times. Cl -3 - Chlorinator says salt is good. PoolMatch says to add 1 quart, 1oz of chlorine. pH = > 8.2 - PoolMath says add 3 quarts, 3 cups FC = 2.5 CC = 1 CH = 275 -...

Thank You, great info!

Does anyone have any advice on the concrete pool deck sealer - like what to use or not to use, I am planning on applying it myself? I have about 800 to 1000 sqft. of concrete to seal - built November 2020. Thank you!

I will make sure of that. They are not under a contract and the salt is part of the pool price, they are not getting paid any extra so I don't think they are going to do anything but add salt and say "you are good and by the way, we have a weekly maintenance program". But I am enjoying this so...

This is great, thanks for the tip and advice! The water is very clear I don't see any algae (I don't know if that means there isn't any), the water temperature is at 52 degrees. I am waiting for the pool company to tell me when they are coming with the salt so I can turn up the heat - (the...

Thank You so much, I do appreciate it!!!

Here's my test from this morning. What would be the advice, should I just follow the PoolMath suggestions? This is kind of like learning how to drive a car, I know how to steer but I don't know how much to turn the steering wheel to make that corner. Cl =1 pH = 7.6 FC = 1.5 PoolMatch -...

Thank you My wife wanted the pool, I am not much of a pool person, the water is just too wet. But I like taking care of it, so it’s a win win situation. Home Depot does not have much of the pool stuff

This website is just amazing! I am 58 years old and I have been in tech all of my life, but I have never seen website like this. You get your answer within several minutes where one day would be just amazing. I am newbie and ask a lot of stupid questions and no one ever hinted of putting me...

Thank you so much This helps A LOT

Jimmy John's is slow compared to you guys. Thank You

Clorine = Cl -0.5 Br - 1 pH = > 8.2 FC = 1.0 CC = 0.5 CH = 250 TA = 250 CYA = 0 - filled the tube all the way and still could see the dot. Salt = 800 ppm I did not put this through the PoolMath - but I will and I will compare the results of the advice I will receive just to see if I am doing...

Yeap got it. Thanks.

Thank You! I had 0.5% for the bleach concentration. Once I changed it to 10% the numbers changed to 50 oz or 1 quart, 2 cups, 2 oz. - Much better. If it wasn't for this website I would have no skin left after the first dip.

I have not added anything yet and I will re-test everything today, but in the PoolMatch if I put 2.0 FC for the current and 5 in the target I get 8 Gallons of Bleach. Does that seem to be correct? That's how much they put in to start the pool plus I added 2 more gallons last week because it was...
