I have addressed this. Still do not have it exactly where I want it, but the water chemistry will be spot-on before I add a SWG.

Okay, is there a calculation I can run or an accurate chart I can review to determine what size pump I would need?

I was thinking about adding the VS pump. I planned on checking what kind of power my 1hp hayward pump was using this weekend. I too am also very handy and will be installing myself. Mine is also on a timer so if I do go with a VS I will just remove the tabs as well. So it sounds like you are...

Yeah that makes sense. I was worried about too much chlorine but if you are at 95% I should be able to dial it back if I need to correct.

Interesting, Our pools are similar in size. Wonder if I should just go for the 60k....

Anyone else want to chime in on this? I am about to pull the trigger on the RJ-45

Both great ideas thank you!

This makes sense, it also has me thinking... my sump pump is faster than the water going in so I have to monitor the level of the water and turn the pump off as needed. So the process was, to turn both the water and the sump on for 45min turn the pump off, let the water run for 1.5hrs, and turn...

So, in the Wiki it talks about starting and not stopping until you remove all the water you are planning to remove. Is there any way this can be done over a period of multiple days? It would be nice If I could do it when I get home from work in the evening from like 5-9 Monday - Thursday, and...

Thanks, leaning curve is steep haha. Looks like I have 17 more hours of water exchange, I will do it the correct way this time.

Thanks RLP, it was hot yesterday and today, so I was hot, and mad at myself for not paying closer attention to the link. Im calmed down now and will take advice as its comes. The numbers do look better than they did so we are heading in the right direction already. Trying to make a choice on a...

Yes, that's what I figured, and what I did. FC- 1.5 (I added 2.6 gal of bleach to keep algae at bay until I make the next move) pH- 6.8 TA- 90 CH- 280 CYA- 120 CSI- -.086

I misread that originally... I did the math and I filled the wrong way. I was under the impression if the water was similar in temp you filled from the bottom and then filled from the top. I didn't know that I needed to do a TDS test, after doing I did the opposite of what I was supposed to do...

Well I have added and removed water for 15 hours at around 6.7 gal a min. I just went out to test my CYA and it's still over 100. I did not do the multiplier test since I know it's already high. I am filling front the shallow end I have the hose on a bucket on the second stair, and I am pumping...

Doing a no drain water exchange now. Now I wait......

Okay, So tested again this am. Here are the results. I also re did the CYA and multiplied by 3 to see where I was. It rained a lot here last night so there is that to consider too. FC- 5 pH- 6.8 TA- 120 CH- 700 CYA- 240 CSI- -0.45 Should I move forward with the water exchange? If so what is...

If I am going to drain most of this water does it make sense to try and get the chemical balance correct? I already added the baking soda going to test again now.

Not sure I am still very new to this. The water was very clear, before adding the baking soda.

That is one I have been looking at

Signature updated

Okay, 20lbs of baking soda added pump is on. Thanks for you help I will update with new numbers tomorrow

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure. thank you, going to get the baking soda now.

Well I do have a heater I just don't know what the model number So I didn't not add it. I am in Greer, SC. You will have to forgive my ignorance but when you say circulate what exactly do you mean?

CYA I filled 15ml of pool water then added the R-0013 up to the 30ml line shook and then let rest added till I could not see the dot and it didn't make it up to the line so I did the same thing over again but after 15ml of pool water I added tap water up to 30mil shook and then poured out down...

What do you mean fix my location?

Yes that's what I put in my results you were actually the post that I read. Thanks for you help. Looks like Im going to need more of it.

Yes it was diluted. I put in 15ml filled up to 30 shook then poured out back down to 30.

The PH level is a guess 4.5 or less because When I did my TA test my liquid turned red instead of green or blue. I searched the cause and that what I read...

Got the TFT test kit in today and ran the test. Results are below, from what Ive read looks like I need to drain some water to get the CYA down before I do anything. I am looking to go to a SWG this year and want to get the chemistry right before I do. Currently I am using a auto chlorinator...

Updated my signature and also got some testing in today, and boy it's not great. Looking like I need to drain some of the water. FC-2.5 pH-4.5 TA-0 CH-675 CYA-200 CSI- -1
