Hi, I am preparing to buy a SWG, I keep changing mind , I was thinking the newest greatest Core series then the Ege 40 but now leaning back towards RJ 45 plus. Anyhoo, looking at my setup I don’t think I have enough room to put cell and flow switch together without modifying the setup beyond...

Hello, So I want to install a SwG this season. I am leaning towards the CircuPool Core-55 for my 27k pool. I like the Core system for the compactness and ease of install. I want to put it in the blue area, inside the red arrows, after the filter but my booster pump gets water off the return...

Hi, I have been considering this for a bit and have looked around at other posts but figured I’d ask a few questions. It doesn't seem like switching to salt will save money but may save time. I currently do a modified BBB method of mostly Liquid chlorine but back that up with 3 inch ,In the...

My rebuilt ride! I bought the rebuild kit which comes with everything except for the internal frame and supply hose. I had trouble getting the wheels to spin freely enough and even when they did they would eventually bind up and stop. I took the unit apart several times checking the bearings...

Hi My setup is a main mechanical timer in the basement that controls all power to outside pool pumps. Outside I have another timer that's in-line for my cleaner booster pump. The outside timer is going bad, won't turn, the inside main timer is now unnecessary because this year I have installed a...

Hello, I have a quick question for you all. We have had about 5" of rain around here and I have been away for a few days and I fine my pool to be a little limish. I have started slamming it but also find my levels are all over the place. So I wanted to ask where to start, PH is high, (7.9) but...

Hello, I wanted to try closing this year. I have read the great advice on this site and watched a few you tube videos but Im still a little confused about the best way to blow out my lines. So here is what I think i will do and was hoping some one could correct me if I seem off. 1. Lower water...

Hello, I have read a lot about slamming and will do that but also read it's good to have ph levels good before you start, so here is my short story. Opened pool today and it's a green algae mess. Low chlorine but high PH and no CYA. This is my second year of owning a pool and 1st time opened by...

Hello, Today I tried my new test kit. We had lots of rain last night and I know my chlorine numbers are really low but I decided to wait until after all the rain this evening before I add the 12% Chlorine I bought at the pool store. Please advise as the best approach and what to attack first...
