I have been using my Sigma since March 2021 works great except I only get my 3rd step cleaned every other trip. It was on sale for $1,100 and has a 3-year warranty. I run it every day from May-Oct. then program it for 3 days a week in the winter when it is covered most of the time. It is great...

I installed my Core 55 myself and added a flow meter. 25%-50% settings are perfect using a timer to to make sure it comes on after the pump and turns off prior to the pump.

My pool was done and filled last March. Just now getting some stability with ph and one gal of Home Depot MA works for about 8 days. In the beginning, it was 2 of those a week.

Have had my Sigma for a bit over a year, Love it. Does not get stuck on my drain cleans all but the top step of three. Does a great job cleaning the walls and tile plus my 5-foot bench and the tile behind that? Plus keeps one of my dogs busy chasing the monster. I keep it in the pool 24/7...

NO, no robot no SWG for a minimum of 30 days part of the start -up

Hello

K-2006C Amazon for $129.00

I just got all these from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N3ZWDWW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TVGSAS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Matt, Thank you, so much for posting this procedure. I finally got tired of the strips so purchased what I needed and did my Borate test. I was getting 70ppm with the Taylor Strips and LAmotte 50. You guessed it I am right in the middle 60

NO kidding I bought mine for $1,298 in Feb and saw it on sale now for $1,698

You are in Stockton. I suggest you go with the SWG as you will burn through liquid chlorine on an almost daily basis.

A must for long vacations

All I can say is using the larger bottle & tube vs the Old Way seems to work much better for me.

No need to buy the whole kit unless your CYA is under 20 or over 100ppm. Just purchase the bottle #9194 and Graduated Tube #9193. You should already have the CYA Reagent.

Taylor has a New CYA Kit K-1720. I just purchased bottle #9194 and Graduated Tube #9193. You use a double the Reagent but I swear it is much easier to read. It is like testing for FC using 25ML vs 10ML. I had thought I was at 70ppm turns out it is 60ppm so bringing it up right now.

Glad to have you join up. The great thing is you can get all you need to be delivered by Amazon or pick it up at Home Depot.

Would love to help but went with Aqua Cool Mini

There are 67 comments about 29 are here is our pool guy, 3 take water to Leslies and they will give you some chemicals. 15 are blind suggestions with no idea what the pool chemistry is. One person asked if they let the dog swim because that could be the issue. 6 were pool guys that offered their...

I say the 55

Hello from So Cal

Welcome from So Cal

I started with the Polaris 380 with a booster pump - wasted a lot of electricity. Then went to a Polaris 360 worked well less cost. Neither was great at the waterline cleaning and no Polaris pump or suction cleaner was getting the fine dirt. My Dolphin not only cleans the waterline but I use...

Well just returned from a 16-day dive vacation and the pool is clear and everything except the PH(8.0) is where I like it - Thank you TFP. My sister-in-law her husband and 2 German Shepards stayed for a week but they left dog hair all over the place. including the pool They did add a gal of acid...

Sorry, should have been more specific. You got some replies that not as positive using Borates even suggesting it is not a chemical TFP encourages but that would be wrong and it still a recommended chemical in pool school.

You might what to look at pool school - still a recommended chemical.

Then why are borates listed as a recommended chemical in pool school?

My issue now and I only have 25ppm Borate but we seem to be itchy when we get out of the water whereas before with just the SWG we never got itchy.

I also got mine from Duda and from my experience the easiest to dissolve in the pool

Yes, it is catching

I am going on a dive vacation in 3 weeks and just had my pool replastered with pebble seeing the same active PH increase. So really interested if you used pucks?
