quick update - looks like adding water was the key to my issue here normal to need to top off 15 minutes of water every 10 days or so - over winter?

thank you chem geek i figured 'reduced maintenance' since "reduced chlorine demand, ... pH stability, and ... algaestatic properties" per waterbear's sticky Spring it is!

thanks for the responses - super appreciate it and also thank you for keying me onto the fact the SWG has a low water temp cut-off - very good to know

ok to add borates in the Fall/Winter (i.e., now)? better to wait for beginning of swim season? (in Dallas = Feb) perhaps immediate application would help keep maintenance (surface scrubbing) low throughout Winter..

56 degrees i'm now running the pump 24 hours given the likelihood of freezing temps so reduced the SWG down to 10% (which i assume means 2.4 hours of chlorine generation per day) i'll retest in a week and repost - aiming to get to the point i can add Borates and spark things up a little - tho i...

Thanks again Jason et. al. A little plea for help / review - updated test results and i'm a little surprised by a couple of them i added 8lbs of CYA and a 4lb box of Borax a week ago - we've had a significant drop in temps in last couple days (30's) FC - 16ppm (!) (that's 32 drops into a 10mL...

thanks for the terrific forum; my brain gets bigger with every visit My pump was surging this morning; we had a nice old storm last night in Dallas and a crud load of leaves coughed up all over the pool and yard. So i suspected a clog in the plumbing - anyway here are the steps (after reading...

Thank you!

Hope tacking onto this post is ok - here are my first test results using a K-2006 Kit Salt now at 3100ppm FC - 6ppm (was 4 yesterday, perhaps i left the pump running too long (8 hours yesterday at 90%) CC - 0.5ppm pH - Looks like 7.1 or 7.2 (which suprised me since the 'pool guy' who tested a...

Just adding my findings here - bought today at Walmart in Dallas for $3.38 each (Mule 76oz) - sweet! They only had three so i'll be back next week to scoop up the restock.

got it - plan is to use test strips to validate current SWG reading; if they're off, i may ask for advice on a second more reliable test; if there is indeed a differential from true, i will go through the calibration steps on the Jandy 1400 unit to align the reading thanks for keeping me honest...

Thanks much! ordering test strips now; great idea i read thru the Jandy aquapure manual and there appears to be no salinity calibration feature, so i can only assume it's a replacement cell if the reading is off; or perhaps a cleaning for both the cell and the sensor as a first step.. should...

Love the forum thank you - new pool owner and i'm holding off on spending the $40/w on professionals while i give myself a chance to be a complete owner After joining the forum in the last few days and reading up - i online ordered a Taylor test kit and some cyanuric acid My SWG was showing a...
