    This pool is turning into one nightmare after another!

    Really?? Bleach?? That scares me... is the ratio the same?? any bleach will work? And ok on the pool kit you do have a point, if I will not order parts for the SWG through them, why order test kits.

    This pool is turning into one nightmare after another!

    Honestly, I have been adding chlorine manually for the most part off and on all summer considering the problems... It almost seems easier also... but alas... I need low maintenance as I am gone off and on, something that can self maintain for a week if I need it to, besides trap clean out (but...

    After I get through this, I will start testing... I just need this SWG taken care of first. And I will ask my neighbor if he has a digital volt/ammeter, and maybe an oscilloscope and go from there. He has been busy so he has not been over yet. Hopefully soon!!

    It just seems so odd that it never gave that code before the new part was put on. It never shut down or the box never felt that warm. It is all one big mystery... maybe I need to find a nice concrete guy and just make a large patio.. lol

    This pool is turning into one nightmare after another!

    We purchased a house with an inground pool last summer. As per the terms everything had to be up and running before we closed. They had to replace the pump motor....Yeah me for negotiating that into the contract. Well we had it professionally closed (as I am a complete newbie and know...
