Hi all, I have an Evo-heat heat pump located in Australia. I have had it just on three years and now the unit has totally failed. It's a expensive 27kW 3 phase unit. The techs said the unit failed because; 1 - the coupling to the water pipes was not properly installed so pool water ended up...

Hi all. Hoping for some clarity (of my water too!) I recently completed a SLAM with no OCLT and crystal clear water. After only a week or so, FC was staying above 7 and then started to go cloudy again. Also noticed white crusty flakes in the pool. Quite a lot. I had a look on the SWG plates and...

Hi all. Have been SLAMing my pool for about 2 weeks and OCLT seemed to have settled but CC was well over 1.5. (SLAMing because we went away and someone 🥴 forgot to turn the SWG back up before leaving!) I noticed the test tube had black marks on it but thought it was just scuffing from the mixing...

Hi all, I have read a few threads from a while back about insulating an above ground pool. I work in the energy efficiency industry and this seems an absolute no brainer. Even it’s often said most is lost through the surface, obviously that changes once you have a blanket. So yes blanket first...

Hi all, We have an above ground pool in a new house we have bought. Currently using pucks. I wanted to convert to SWG but pool guy said corrosion is the big issue. He suggested to use magnesium instead of normal salt. Any thoughts? Or would I be best to just use a liquid chlorine feeder? Thanks

Hi there. We have taken the plunge (sorry 🥴) and bought a beach house that has a tablet chlorination system. Tested the CYA and it’s about 100! To me it seems the best way to manage FC and keep CYA in control is to get a SWG like we have at home. So my main question is, any thoughts on great...

Hi there, Thanks for all the support from previous threads helping me, hopefully, get to the end of SLAMing after my pool started getting cloudy. My question is, should I wash the thermal pool cover before I deploy it on the pool? It was on when the pool was cloudy and has been off for the last...

Hi all, Fairly new pool install been up and running a few months. Pool spa combo. Recently I haven’t been able to get my sand filter pressure to drop back to the 85kpa that it always used to. I have backwashed a few times until sight glass is clear but now won’t budge below 150kpa on full speed...

Hi there, Happy new year everyone and let’s hope it’s a step up from 2020! Thanks all for the incredible wealth of discussion here. Two questions here about salt in a SWG pool. 1) TFP recommends to have salt for SWG pool 200-400 above recommend levels. My SWG manual recommends 3500 - 7000. So is...

Hi all. First time pool owner here in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for the amazing discussion and the Pool Math app, loving it! I’ve had a hunt around but can’t see anywhere where I can log water added to the pool in Pool Math. Any suggestions? Thanks
