I passed the OCLT and the water is finally clear. I just tested and got the following: FC: 7.5 CC: 0 PH: 6.8 TA: 140 CYA: 20 CH: 70 Salt: 2220 I'm going to retest the CYA tomorrow. I was getting a much higher number before but my water was also very cloudy. Now that it's clear I got a...

I've got my free chlorine holding now but the pool is still really cloudy. I've been brushing and vacuuming daily. Test from this evening show: FC: 32 CC: 0 pH: 7.2 TA: 300??? CYA: 80 CH: 90 I had to guess at the TA. The kit says it will go from green to red. Mine went from green to blue...

Does the Hayward leaf canister or Zodiac Baracuda leaf canister connect to a standard vacuum hose for a hand vacuum? I still can't see the bottom of my pool and would like something that would allow me to see the dirt flow through the hose so I can tell when I'm vacuuming a really bad area...

I finally got my CPSC36 installed yesterday. It ran through the startup process and showed the salt level at 4000ppm. I had already read that this may not be accurate, especially in the first few days of operation. Anyway, the unit showed that it was operating on Polarity 2 which I assume...

I just did my first water test this evening. My results were: FC: 0 PH: 6.8 TA: 70 CH: 100 CYA: 80 The pool calculator recommends 108oz of bleach, 56oz of washing soda, 92oz of baking soda, 308oz of calcium chloride, and to remove 50% of the water. That is using the default target levels...

I have an Intermatic timer to install. My pump has a three prong plug right now. I will need to replace the power cord to the pump. Do you just use 12/2 wire from the timer to the pump or can I buy something similar to the power cord to make that connection? I just need to know what to ask...

I just got 4 2'x20' solar panels. I'd like to build a stand to mount them at an angle. Would they need a solid backing to lay on or just a frame? I found a mounting kit here: http://www.solartubs.com/solar-water-heater-mounting-kits.html It looks like it is just a metal frame. If that's...

I want to get a solar cover reel but really have no idea what brands are good. I don't like the reels that sit on the pool rails. My deck goes all the way around the pool so I can use one that mounts to the deck or on wheels. Any suggestions?

Does the Compupool CPSC36 have a plug-in for your pool pump? The manual on their website states that it does but I have read some posts saying it does not. If not, what is a good external timer for running the SWG and pump?

I've been reading on here about solar panels but I haven't seen any specific brands mentioned. Is this what most people use? http://www.intheswim.com/Pool-Equipment ... g-Systems/ I'd like to get some type of heating and solar seems like the most cost efficient option by far. Is this what I...

I've been looking at SWG's and really cannot decide what I need or want. I have almost narrowed it down to the Compupool CPSC24 but I'm not sure about the installation of this model. It looks like it would need to be installed with PVC pipe. Is this true or can it be installed inline similar...
