    SWG not keeping up

    Interesting I thought out PB said he went bigger. Is there a bigger size? I’ve been aiming for 5 FC based on cya 70 but maybe 4 is more attainable.

    SWG not keeping up

    Thanks for the help. Is running the swcg at that % and length of time fairly standard for the pool size?

    SWG not keeping up

    Hello. Our pool was installed last September. First year we’re running it. SWG, 30k gallon. The pool company had originally set up the system to run 8 hours at 30%. Using my Taylor test kit, FC was never keeping up from the SWG so I’d supplement with liquid chlorine. I upped the SWG to 60%...

    Sand in drains under skimmer basket

    Our pool is newly installed. We just had the patio finished with pavers last month. I’m not sure if this issue was like this before it was finished as there was a lot of sand and backfill debris that blew into the pool. One of the homes is clogged with sand completely. Is it important that...

    Muriatic Acid and TA

    Ok i was trying to lower the alkalinity and thought I needed to start by lowering PH. Thanks.

    Muriatic Acid and TA

    According to the pool calculator TA should be closer to 80, 90 max. Is that not relevant if PH is a bit higher in the 7’s?

    Muriatic Acid and TA

    Hello- trying to get PH and TA right. Current readings are: CYA 60 (will bring this up to 70) FC 3.4 (will adjust for 70 CYA) CC .2 PH 7.6 AK 110 I purchased muriatic acid to lower PH with the hopes to bring Alkalinity down. The acid doesn’t have a percentage on the bottle at all. Should...

    Thanks- that’s what I meant. I need to get the percentage and run time down to maintain the fc compared to cya.

    CC went down to .2. I will run a full test tomorrow with the Taylor kit but according to the test strip, PH was around 7.2. I need to get used to adjusting the salt level on the SWG to keep FC steady.

    Now that our slam is done, does it make sense to bring PH up closer to 7.8?

    Ok that’s the next thing I’ll have to work on 😉

    Cya seemed to be at 30, but seeing FC is appropriate for that number, sounds like we must maintain and see if CC goes down? I’ll test again in a few hours.

    It’s a Hayward turbo cell t 15 So overnight our FC stayed at 11.4 But CC is still .8 Guessing we don’t need to add more chlorine but how do we get CC down?

    It’s a Hayward Plus which runs 8a-8pm.

    Runs 8a-8p. It’s actually a Hayward Plus, but I didn’t see that as an option.

    So as the FC comes down would we add more stabilizer to get you the 70-80 level? Our SWG is set to 35%. Shoulder that maintain the 4-6 FC level?

    So we got the PH down to 7.2 today and started the slam process. Once we pass the overnight test, at that point do we switch over to the SWG cya to FC ratio? The CYA would need to increase but does chlorine just naturally trend down to get to the right level?

    Thanks for the info. We’re thinking of putting 4lbs divided into two socks over two jets. Looks like we need 2x 128oz bleach to get to FC 12. Seems like we can do this all in one shot once we get PH down to 7.2. Once we get the stabilizer and chlorine in, how long should we wait to test?

    The pool is actually crystal clear right now. Would the slam process still apply? I feel like now we’re just adjusting chemicals to get to the right levels. thanks. So even though the pool is no longer green and it’s crystal clear, we still need to go through the slam process?

    Ok we’ve finally been able to test with the Taylor kit: AK 100 CYA below 30 not cloudy at all so possibly 0 FC .6 CC .8 Calcium 170 PH 8.0 Any tips for which order we should put chemicals in. I know we need to increase cya with stabilizer. And bring AK down with acid. Any other suggestions...

    Our saltwater is reading 3400. It was 2600 when we opened but we added salt, so I think we’re good there. Thanks!

    So the second Taylor kit that comes with that salt test is lost in the mail. The original one I ordered (without the salt test) I still have—I was going to return. Can we use that kit and use our salt reader to measure the salt? We’re getting anxious to balance this water. Thanks!

    Still waiting for the test kit (hoping it’s delivered tomorrow), but the pool is no longer green. Pretty crystal clear from adding shock in once a day but still curious to see what our numbers are. We haven’t added any other chemicals. Thanks for checking in.
