I changed from PermaSalt to Circupool SWG a couple of years ago and love it. I assume you also got the pool from Family Leisure. If so, keep an eye on the bolts on the outside of the pool that attach the stainless steel panel (if you have one) to the walls. My bolts have begun to rust near...

I purchased an above ground pool from Family leisure in Spring of 2020. The water was never really clear all summer. I'm fairly certain the installers used leftover sand from the installation (the sand they put under the liner) into the filter so that might another cause of the cloudy water. I...

Hello again, This last weekend I changed the sand in my filter, retightened all the connections, and drained and replaced more than half the water (removing algae and higher copper levels from previous system). I tested the water Saturday afternoon and continued with SLAM. FC 8 CC .5 PH 7.2...

Thank you! I ended up replacing the sand in my filter. The installers filled up the filter last year when they installed the pool so it might have been the wrong type of sand. In doing so, I was able to tighten all the connections and now there is no water in the pump basket. I also replaced a...

Thank you! I will start the draining/refilling this evening while I replace the sand. Would you recommend hth pool filter sand> HTH Pool Filter Sand 50 pound - Ace Hardware or AquaQuartz> Pool Filter Sand, #20 Grade Silica, 50 lbs | Leslie's Pool Supplies

I know SLAMMING takes time, but would draining halfway speed things along? I'm having company in 5 days and promised them a pool o_O. I still can't see the bottom to brush (I still am, but I could easily miss spots). I'm supposed to get my extra fine filter for my dolphin vacuum today. I...

I'm on day 5 of SLAM. Not much change in appearance, but there have been a few lapses. You mentioned I would know if the metals content is too high. How would I tell?

Hey guys, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm on day 4 of a SLAM and I thought I would add some DE powder to my sand filter to speed it along. The filter is a 22 inch ecokleer sand filter that says it takes 250lbs of sand. The sand was put in last year when the pool was installed. Pump...

The pool store's test showed CYA 29 so it might have been user error on my end. I never tested the CYA in the sun. Their copper level shows .2 and iron .1 I added 3 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine. Retested 40 minutes later and the FC is at 9.5 and the CC is at 1.5. Should I proceed with the...

Thank you! I will take some water to Leslies and ask them to check the copper. I will also try the CYA test outside in the sun. And signature updated.

Hey guys, This is only my second year with a pool. I came back from vacation a couple of weeks ago and my pool was green, cloudy, with floating algae. I was using the PermaSalt system (have now ditched). Went to the pool store (lesson learned), and they sold me some black algaecide (which I...

Also, could you post a picture of how you hooked up the new system? I didn't see it in your thumbnails yet.

Thank you! That's the SWG I was thinking of. I thought about trying to tough it out for the summer so when I partially drain my pool to winterize I'd lose a lot of the copper, but if the copper doesn't appear to be an issue, I might just eat the loss on the newly purchased PermaSalt chemicals...

Moved from HERE Did you end up converting? I'm trying to find a SWG that will be easy to switch out the current Perma Salt system and not have to mess with a lot of replumbing. I have a 30" above ground pool. Did you end up draining the water?
