Yes, cool verse painted on the pool bottom(y) , so with an SWG all that's needed is any flow across it to be actively producing chlorine ? No need to have it in a higher speed for the chlorinator to be effective ?

Thanks for such a quick reply, what would be his major benefit of going with the VFD pump besides cost / efficiency power consumption wise ?

A friend of mine has a frog tablet set up on his pool and wants to convert to SWG (yep, talked him into some kind of TFP way), I'm a Stenner Pump Liq Chlorine user and told him I'd put a post out there to see if he can get some recommendations for a good brand SWG for his size pool, he will be...

Hopefully this will help the monthly fills of the 15gal tote for the year ?, and stuck the supply outside this year but under a roof, will help the slight corrosion effect on things in the interior of the pump house....should be good for the summer ?

Thanks a bunch Texas , I will send him a link to have him read up on things... - - - Updated - - - This is a list he sent me, need to have him sign up here and get involved on the forum in the build area... Pretty limited equipment specs...

A friend is about to build a new pool , 16x32 gunite with inline chlorinator, builder spec'd out a cartridge filter for him...I'm a sand filter guy and believe he may be getting into a more maintenance type of filter then he realizes?? What's the pros/cons of a cartridge filter compared to a sand ?

Well passed the over night test , with levels at shock level is it ok for swimmers today ??

CC's were .5 as usual, I was referring to just raising the CYA up to 50 like I usually run it as well as increase the FC level a tad, may just bump it to SLAM level overnight like you mentioned and check it out in the morning.Yep, just got back from the store with MA and 10% Bleach to dose it up...

Just started noticing my water is a little cloudy (noticeable when swimming underwater), especially after a pool party of more then 15 at the house yesterday and kids in it ALL day, at least 6-10 kids in swimming at ALL times....My first thought is raise my CYA level a bit along with my FC but...

I have a 3rd return inlet by my pool skimmer that I can also valve it in as a suction port occasionally if I wanted, to say use a manual vac hose, I'm looking for a simple/easily changed fitting to adapt it from the return eyeball jet that is installed most of the time and change it to a fitting...

Thanks Richard, I was thinking on leaving it a bit lower then the 70-80 I ran last year to see how my pH rise trends ? Maybe a tad lower like 50-60 TA will maintain a slower rise pH for me ? - - - Updated - - - Yep, 30 it is.... Trucked in city water (18000 gals) and the last 6000 gal from...

Vinyl liner

Added a 6.5lb tub of CYA last night (via a couple socks over the return jets) I know it will not show up for a week but I assume it will start doing its job now and should assume I have a CYA level of 35 ish right now, based on my newly calculated water capacity of 24000 rather then the past...

OK so here is my first set of numbers of the new pool water...heading out to get some stabilizer... pH - 7.3-7.4 FC - 0 CC - 0 ALK- 50 CAL - 30 Added some chlorine, only to be burnt up pretty quick without CYA yet...going to be adding that as well aiming for 40ish for now see where it ends...

Thanks, yeah they told us the "norm" was white....then I said we don't just do the boring old "norm" be a tad bit different always stirs it up a bit :-) Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk

Funny they market 100% CYA as "Saltwater Stabilizer " so most people without a SWG you would think would walk right by this?? Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk

Thanks, I think it will for sure...the few spots I had to re-sand down took an aweful lot of sanding pressure with a sanding disc on my cordless drill to even disturb this paint...so with that I believe it definately bonded to the coping for sure:-) only time will tell, and paint is cheap...

Thanks, still have plenty to go in the backyard...just time and $$ is the biggest factor.... Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk

Here are a few more pics...had 18k gal delivered by truck and just have 13" to go to get to the proper level so filling the rest with the hose....$220 per 6000gal adds up pretty quick..I'll do a full test with my TF-100 tonight and start circulation and fire up the pump/filter as well...get some...

And the liner gets dropped in this morning :-) more pics to come but here's a teaser... Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk

Yes...we are Hoping it all comes together and looks good, a little different then the norm but should look nice....not to mention I can't wait to have the pool back and all filled up with nice new sparkling TFP water :-) Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk

Its a bit dark out but here's a couple samples of the 1st coat...the wife did a darn good job I must say...had to sand the few troubled spots down and man is this paint durable... very hard to get off or sand down...will post better daylight pics soon..after the 2nd coat.... Sent from my DNA...
