My hopes were shattered...Well not really, the floc did not do the trick, so still maintaining the slam, and just hoping the filter can get the rest of the dead algae and what not remaining in the water. If not, I have another filter on standby that is brand new. More pictures coming.

Here is a recent photo.

Pictures coming, been busy with the slam, and a dirty sand filter that clogs every 24hrs, the sand is old and needs a deep clean, so I have reached the point in the slam where I am no longer losing Chlorine overnight, but the pool is overwhelmed with fine particles in the water, so, added some...

I did not take care of my pool at the end of last season. The stairs were removed and the pool left to do it's thing. A cat fell into the water "at some point" during the winter, how long ago I have no idea, in addition to a dead bird. Animals tend to decay slowly or not at all in water, so...

I got 24 bottles of 10% delivered from Walmart near SA Tx for $136 to my door, or $5.66 a gallon, not too bad.

I went salt on my pool a season ago, this season I am running back to the TFP method, although I loathe dealing with liquid chlorine, "when I can get it" the salt cells don't do well in my hard water, even with regular cleaning, whereas I just dump the proper amount of liquid in every day and...

Thanks for all the help, I will lower the PH down to 7.0 7.2 in stages and monitor it with my Taylor test kit :) I will go ahead and leave the SWG running if you think it will be ok, I will be using Muriatic Acid, and will make sure to use breathing protection, that can be nasty stuff if...

I have turned off my SWG until I get this under control and will switch to liquid chlorine to avoid destroying my new SWG cell. I guess I will start with PH down to 7-7.2 , then aerate the water to get the PH back, and see if I can get it balanced without a water change for now? Let me know...

P.S. CSI is 0.66

Here are my readings. Temp 30.6c Salt 3200 PPM Chlorine 3 PPM PH 8+ TA 140 ppm CH 390ppm CYA=35 First year running a salt cell that is reporting the salt incorrectley, be that as it may I am experiencing scaling on the pool walls "vinyl" and as you can imagine it is playing heck on my plates...

Save your money and buy a better unit, got mine 3 months ago and suffers from the Low Salt error, Intex was no help at all. Now saving for a reputiable unit.

I loose about 3-4ppm per day in south Texas as well, now my cya is over 80 from using tabs during the liquid chlorine shortage even after a water change last week. This means I am having to keep my daily FC around 8 to keep the algae at bay, but my water is Crystal otherwise, that and I...

Yeah Lowes has a deal on the concentrated stuff as well. Thanks

1 Gallon here is $12.21 and they are out of stock, my spouse works at a grocery store, that has been our best source so far.

Don't use 3 stabilized tabs on your pool, even though it has been tough to purchase bleach..just don't do it. I switched over to the 3 inch tabs when this "flu" began because chlorine bleach was in short supply, now here I am draining half my water because my CYA is over 80. Good news, is that...

water is going to go where it wants to, the cove will is to replace the "sand" cove they build up on the inside of the wall when they install it, the cove is permanent and will not wash out like the sand, you need to have your yard graded properly to route the water around the pool instead of...

Get a pre-formed pool cove to help deal with washout, my pool is in a low area where water travels when it rains, my previous abg pool washed out and the liner burst years ago, this install they recommended the pool cove to prevent this from happening should we have a wash out. Like this...

So a SWG on an AGP with a vinyl liner and steel walls will not rust out due to using a SWG? Mine will have resin top caps, top and bottom rails, a steel wall and alum-steel service panel. Opinions?

Ok, so screw the warranty, what I want to know is those of you using a SWG system on an above ground pool with these specs, how has your experience been with corrosion?

I am having trouble finding information on this pool, we moved our install to August 14th as a result of family issues. I want to install a SWG system on this pool, but the sellers tell us this will void our warranty and that you cant use a SWG system on this type of AGP. Is this true? The top...

Yes the quality control on their uprights is horrible, I have had 3 rust all the way through "only using bleach-no saltwater" and cant believe how fast the rusted through. We went ahead this year and purchased a quality AGP with pro install as we are tired of replacing the intex pools, they are...

We took the plunge last week and pulled the trigger on a late season purchase of a new Calypso 52" AGP Specs: 7" Top Ledge Krystal Kote Sealant Resin Bottom Trakcs Aluminum Alloy Service Panel 19" Sand filter and 1.75hp pump. LED Light on skimmer Prefabbed Cove and Pad for the bottom. We...
