My best guess is the SWG was added later and due to pipe length and locations they needed more room to insert the SWG than existed hence the creative plumbing? I am still fairly new to this, but it looks to me like the 3 way valve with the arrow is set to flow in the direction of your SWG which...

@Jimrahbe I agree that would make sense except it seems to happen only intermittently and if the pool is off the level can drop a full inch before the autofill will turn on.

@Hootz because of my plumbing layout the suction from that provides the right amount of skimmer action also puts a small vacuum on the equalizer line resulting in a level inside the PM canister that is about one inch lower than the actual level of the pool. The PM float has been adjusted to...

@Texas Splash that's what I was thinking but I can't seem to figure it out in my mind. The spa level stays very consistent sitting right at the bottom of the spillway when off and never dropping lower unless we were to climb in and displace water from it. The original float was not shutting...

I have a Poolmeiser (PM) auto leveler and the PB plumbed the equalizer line to the bottom of the skimmer about two inches from the skimmer pipe that runs to the pump (in attached photo from construction the lines to the PM from left to right are water supply, overflow drain, equalizer. In...

Welcome, I am also in The Villages. Be sure to update your signature with your pool details, it makes it easier for the smart folks on here to help you when the time comes...

Update: I tested yesterday morning and had 1.5 FC so I ran the SWG at 80% for about 7.5 hours yesterday which according to Pool Math should have added about 6.3ppm of FC for a total of 7.8 (which would test at 7.5). I tested again this morning and the FC is at 5 which I think tells me the...

Thanks Newdude, I am going to monitor the SWG for a couple days and if I can't get the FC up toward the high end of target I will add some liquid to bring it up.

The pool faces almost due West so full sun most of the day. Thanks again for the help! Here are a couple sunset photos to enjoy.

Thanks for the help. Yes my SWG is up and running. I just bumped up the rate to 40% for now until the FC comes up a little bit more maybe around 4 or 5 since Pool Math shows my ideal level between 3-8 based on my CYA level. Do I measure FC daily using the FAS/DPD drop test for FC and CC...

Pool Service will be back next Monday and the following Monday. First time doing these tests... but updated full readings taken just now using my TF-Pro Salt: FC 2.5 CC 0.5 pH 7.2 TA 50 (solution was to change "red" I interpreted a change to light pink at 4 drops, and a vivid pink at 5 drops...

Hello all, this is my first post on here and my first pool (details should be in my signature if I did it right). I have been lurking for a few weeks and learning what I can. I bought a TF-Pro Salt test kit but am waiting on the SmartStir which is on backorder. According to calculators on...
