Hello! We're in the Buffalo area and it's been way too much wind, cold and precipitation this winter. This is the pool's 2nd winter. It was winterized/drained below the inlets, it has a winter cover wired on, and an air pillow still (miraculously) in place under the cover. I'm guessing the pool...

I've been away for a week. Before I left, I started with a fresh batch of all new TF-100 refill regents. The day I left, I bumped the chlorine up to the highest swimmable level (9). Water was crystal clear, and swimmers reported everything was great while I was gone. No one has been swimming...

Hi! I am getting strange read-outs on the pool math app. See screen shots. I updated the app and restarted my phone before i ran out of tech-savvy. Thanks for any suggestions! (including how much borax i actually need to add?)

Hello! I am opening the pool for its 2nd ever season, and i think i am doing something incorrectly with the filter/pump. (My equipment specs are in my signature, salt water system NOT installed yet, so just sand filter and pump.) The filter stay outside all winter drained and opened, and the...

Hello! We are finally opening our pool and all is going well...except our Dolphin S100. We bought it brand new last year and it worked PERFECTLY every single day all last summer. We ran it each evening (our pool sees heavy use from children with grassy feet) and hosed out the basket/filters each...

My electrician installed my SWG part way through the season, but I never actually got around to hooking it up to the pool (above ground). No water has ever run through it. Now that I am closing the pool for the winter, it is a good idea to take out the cell and bring it indoors? Thanks!

Thanks for all the great info archived in the forums! I know it's better to start a new thread for specific questions related to old posts, but what about just liking something really useful from a while back? Is it nice to know your effort is still helping others and is appreciated, or does it...

Hello! We were off to a great start thanks to this forum, but then the pool got mostly ignored during a family thing. There are many layers of "not-ideal" happening with the pool. Can you all see my pool math logs? 1. When i do the chlorine drop test i get 6 free chlorine .5 combined chlorine...

Hi! There is so much information on here going back YEARS, and I was wondering if there is a way to limit a forum search to a certain date range? Or to just put them in order from most recent threads then going back in time? I am researching equipment and seeing the info about current models...

Hello again, i am new and thankful for everyone answering all my questions -- I have just been reading the SWG threads and have learned that hydrogen gas comes out in little bubbles as part of the SWG process since it isn't dissolved as readily as the chlorine. Our whole pool will be enclosed --...

Total Newbie here, still getting cya into the pool for the first time etc, but wanting to move to a saltwater system if possible. This is what i have, other pictures look like people have pvc plumbing pipes? Can i add an swg in here? Thanks!

Hi! I am throwing this article I came across wayyy in the deep end -- "Swimming pool heating technology: A state-of-the-art review" from the international journal of thermal sciences called "Building Simulation." It has diagrams! And formulas! And cites other interesting articles...

Hi! We are never-before pool owners in the Buffalo NY area, where it is still mostly winter until at least the middle of May, and our 30' round above ground pool was suddenly installed and filled way ahead of schedule back on April 10th. We stared at it for a week, figured out how to turn on the...
