    FC extremely high - overdid the SLAM?

    Just for an update - my FC is 20 this evening after being 30 about 36 hours ago. We got 1.3” of rain last night/this morning then nice sunshine today, so I’d guess those things helped bring it down. Maybe we’ll be ready to use in another 36 hours. Thanks for the help everyone! From now on I...

    New pool - chemistry issues

    I have varied the % on the cell because I can't seem to find any recommendations on what % to run it at and for how long. At first, when I couldn't get the chlorine level to show on tests, I started running it on super chlorinate all day. I have since backed off to 50%. Today, I dropped it to...

    New pool - chemistry issues

    Hey there. New to the forum and first time SWG pool owner here. I've read through a lot of the info on the website and some of the forum threads but feel like I might need a little one-one-one help. Think I have a good idea of what to do but looking for some reaffirmation. We got our pool...
