    FC help please

    I'm sorry the TC is the same as FC. So don't go by the intex book? The book said to run the SWG for 3 to 4 hour but I run it at 5 hr to get 3 FC. It's say to have the CYA at 30-50. The chart here say 60-70. Will it hurt to boost the numbers up?

    New sand filter

    That's what I'm using the liquid chlorine. I have the swg shut off till I get the pool zone in. The filter/pump is only running now. When I add the salt then I will turn on the swg. I just didn't want to burn out the filter/pump while run it 24hrs.

    New sand filter

    I think I have a two year warranty on this combo. I hope that will last me for a year or two. I haven't run the swg yet. I'm getting the pool cleared up first. Is it ok to run it 24hrs?

    New sand filter

    That's what I thought! The intex guy told me that I'll would be burning electric with the 2650. I can't return it now, but it's seem to be a lot stronger then the crappy one that came with it. How would I know what's the turn over rate for it? Is it 1600 per hour?

    Hey guys I'm a newbie with a 15x48 intex AGP. The filter that came with the pool didnt last at all. I bought a new intex 1600 sand filter saltwater combo.
