Hi everyone. I currently have a Single stage Century pool pump and I have two questions about it. 1) I feel lately that the power isn't as strong as before. When I clean the pump basket and then restart it, I feel like the flow isn't as strong as it used to be. When it's priming it used to take...

Hi Everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had success using something like "Out Spot" by Purity Pools in order to place muriatic acid on a iron stain at the bottom of the pool. I currently have a Jandy Stain remover tool but I can't seem to get it to flow well out of the bottle into the tubing...

Hi everyone, So recently I've noticed small bubbles in my return jets. It appeared to have been getting worse over a few months. Background of the pool is that it was resurfaced (diamondbrite) about 1 year ago and a better skimmer was installed. Also current pump (which came with the house when...

Hi everyone, I‘m looking for more information on more preventative actions to help me from having to slam often. So the current situation is that I find myself slamming my salt water pool too often. I believe that the reason is that I’m not doing appropriate preventative maintenance with...

Hi everyone. After the SLAM, when should I turn the SWG back on? Immediately or wait until the FC level drops more? Thanks

Is it possible to have algae or other organic material in the pool with a CC of 0.5 or less? Background : have a 40k SWG for my 15k pool. I’m running it at 80% for about 12-14 hrs and still just have my FC at 4. My CYA is 60-70, my pH and Alk are good. The pool is clear. But was frustrated that...

Hi Everyone, Is there a difference in the recommended CYA/FC level listed on the pool School vs the Pool Math app? Cause I'm at CYA 60 with a SWG and it stays 4 recommended in pool school and in the app it's recommending 5-9. Thanks

Hi Everyone. I recently resurfaced my pool with Diamond Brite and we've come to the time of adding salt to the pool. Can you check if I'm right? 1) I checked where I'm currently at with salt and it reads 1800 ppm. With my PureChlor Salt system it recommends the salt level to be between 3500 -...

Hi Everyone, I have recently resurfaced my pool (Diamondbrite) and added glass waterline tile. Obviously it's new and doesn't have any scale or anything, but what solution do you all recommend to put on my scratch free pad (attached to my pool pole) to clean weekly? Thanks

Hi everyone! We just finished replastering our pool and in about 1-2 weeks they should be adding salt to the pool. My question is that my SWG is wired (from previous owner) so that when the pool pump turns on (from the timer) the SWG turns on as well (which makes sense). The question is that...

I had a question about what you all recommend for positioning of the eye of the return. Two issues that I have are the the one jet on the left is imbedded in the plaster. It's at the corner of the sitting ledge and wall. I'm unable to reposition the direction so it just shoots straight out. The...

This isn't really a post in particular... but I juts wanted to thank this forum and all those people that help noobs like myself. I just started this self-pool for about 1.5 weeks and my pool has been the best it's been. I had to let my pool service go, because of all the poor care (I.e...

Hi everyone, I've been trying to put some concepts in my brain about CYA/FC and maintaining it with my SWG. So I currently understand that CYA helps to protect the chlorine in the pool from being used up by the UV of the sun. In my case, my pool is in constant sunlight. My CYA is <20 (the...

First time post and first time caring for my pool. Thank SO much for this website and it's forum. SO much great information. After a bunch of reading here I had a question as it relates to SWG/FC/CYA. I have a SWG which is producing chlorine, but looks like no CYA (based on my Taylor kit). My...
