Tiger, I'm starting my 4th year with a Hayward/Goldline Aqua Troll HP. It is recommended for all Above Ground Pools up to 18K gals. My pool is 16.5K gals. I have not had an algae outbreak since I started using it. I do not baby sit my pool daily. You can image I am loving it. :) And no...

Here is the info from the Pool Solutions website, http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/polyquat.html

This is my experience as well.

To wrap up this thread, I did remove the skimmer and replace it. The screws holding the skimmer to the wide mouth could only be reached by removing the widemouth from the pool. In the end it was no big deal, but going into it was frightning. It was totally uneventful and easy to replace...

Do I really have to take off the top rail and peel back the liner? I don't understand how these things fit together. I need to find a picture. Thanks for all advice. Steve

Well, I pryed and pulled and low and behold found 2 screws in the bottom of the skimmer holding it fast to the wide mouth. These 2 screws do not have any access for me to get to them without removing the wide mouth from the pool, SO, what are the dangers of removing the wide mouth skimmer and...

Thanks Mike. I'm gonna go for it and pry it apart. As is, I can't use the pool 'cause it leaks too bad. If I break it, it will cost me more, either way I can start using the pool. Wish me luck!!!

I'm not able to take pictures of it, but if anyone is familiar with a Wide mouth skimmer perhaps they know if it is possible to have screws on top and bottom of the regular skimmer where it mounts to the wide mouth. I don't see anyway possible for there to be screws on the top and bottom due to...

Hi all, I opened the pool to find the skimmer gasket leaking. It's the gasket between the wide mouth skimmer and the regular skimmer attached to it. Looking from the pool into the skimmer I see 4 screws that hold the skimmer onto the wide mouth. I removed these 4 screws (2 on each side) and...

My pool is 3 years old, but I only added SWG this year in June. I had to drop the Alkalinity from 290 down to 90 and did so by July 10 and since then I have had rock steady pH of 7.6. That's 5 weeks of steady pH. It's been so steady, I'm thinking something is wrong. I have used AquaChem...

I didn't understand why it was put in with SWG either. Why not put it in the BBB forum, it is more closely related to that method than SWG. Just my 2 cents. I'll come by here either way. :) Steve

Hi, I have my Aqua Trol up and running and am curious what others are setting for pump run time and Chlorine generation output percentage since I haven't "dialed in" mine yet. I've gone too high and am now too low. I suppose I'll catch it sooner or later. I'm in full sun with light swim load...

Hi, Is there enough salt in a SWCG to kill the grass around the pool? I especially like to use the valve on top of my cartridge filter to release water to rinse my skimmer sock. TIA, Steve

Hi, I'm getting ready to convert to SWG. Reading the online manual for the Aqua Trol http://www.goldlinecontrols.com/Support ... 16G_SS.pdf it says you need a level of CH above 200ppm. They have a formula for "Saturation Index" that makes this CH level important. What about this with a...

Thanks Everyone. There is a sense of urgency to get it all done now. The other issue I failed to mention is my pressure guage isn't working, so after vac'ing out a lot of debris I'm not sure if my cartridge is clogged or not. So, I've got a new guage to replace, clean the cart and get some...

Hi, Does anyone pre-dissolve CYA in warm water before adding to the pool? If yes, how much CYA will 1 gallon dissolve and how long does it take? I need to get my pool level of CYA up and I need to clean my cartridge filter, and don't need to wait 1 week for CYA to dissolve. TIA, Steve
