    Cloudy water wont uncloudy ..

    Yes, the low salt light was on. According to the manual, this SWG needs about 3500ppm to work effectively. My tests showed under 3000ppm. So I added a full bag and maybe .. half of another. I didnt do another test after but it should be around 3500 - 3750 or so. A few hours later, the light...

    HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to turn

    I was wondering about the drain and refill also. I didn't want to suggest it in fear of driving you over the edge lol. Honestly I came super close to doing it myself. You're right .... It'd be a long drive from here to bring some bleach but if the food is good enough .... :p By the by ...

    So much awesome stuff in this thread :) I too was wondering why so much FC loss with no CC. I just assumed it was a by product of the conversion. Oopsie. Brush that sucker down. I tried to brush twice a day and I'm sure that wasn't enough. Your diligence is inspiring :)

    It's looking about the same. A weee bit cloudy. I stopped shocking and turned on my swg. FC is holding around 4. Cc is at 0. Haven't been able to use the pool yet as it's been raining off and on the last few days. Figures eh? :p. Two weeks of awesome weather ... No pool. Pool gets ready...
