I now have a Coleman 18'×4' steel framed ag pool. Running a 16" sand filter pump (3/4hp) rated at 3000gph in conjunction with a Summer Waves salt water generator. I admit I dont know about the quality if this SW system, as I've never used it before. My wife got this one. Okay, here's the...

Low/High Salt alarm with SWCG My low salt indicator light comes on when my pump and SWG are in sleep mode. How do I know exactly how much salt to put in the pool? A 40lb bag of salt isn't always needed surely, but I do believe that is what the manual states. I've read on other posts about false...

Besides lowering the water level below the ports and storing the pumping and filtering equipment, what is involved with closing my pool for the winter if I am leaving it up? Is there anything I need to add to the water? If so, what do I add and how much for my pool?

I have seen a few AG Intex pools being left up year round. Of course the water is drained down below both the outflow and return ports, all pumping and filtering units are drained and stored and the pool is covered. The ones I have talked to have not noted any problem and continue to leave...

Okay I will do that. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks Dave...I do have one more question for you if you don't mind. Should I or should I not be able to taste the salt in the pool water. The manual on the SWCG says you shouldn't taste the salt. I personally question the manual in this but I don't know. If it is correct that I shouldn't taste...

Okay Dave, you've convinced me. What is the best way to eliminate the copper plate? The plate actually unplugs from the corded threaded cap but I can't remove it and just screw the cap back on because, of course the exposed plug would be exposed to the water. I really don't want to cut it off. I...

But I am of the understanding that the copper plate is electrically charged and in that way kills algae causing bacteria. I don't pretend to understand how it works, that's just how I understood the manual. I was not of the impression that it would add copper to the water. That wouldn't make any...

I keep reading about different SWG users discnnecting their copper panels. Are they referring to the copper piece at the return end of the electrolytic cell that lifts out. If so..what is the purpose of doing that? That is supposed to assist in killing algae isn't it? Help

As I am a novice the pool care and don't really understand most of the chemistry of pool water maintenance, I wanted to ask, besides the range of test chemicals included in the "complete" test kits are the chemicals all the same? Test strips are useless of course. I purchased a 4 way test kit...

Hello from Moberly, Mo, This is my third year of having a pool. We started off with the 48"x15' round Intex utilizing the standard chemicals and the pump that came with the pool. After fighting the first 2 seasons with trying to manage the pool water, which is difficult enough even for an...
