A few more questions... Do I add chemicals & CYA to get to normal levels first are at least 30 fir CYA, and then SLAM? Whats the SLAM process if my CYA is 0? There should be very little algae left in the pool, its just whatever is currently sitting in the lines. We cleaned the filter...

Hi, I'm new here! I drained my pool and scrubbed it down with a diluted bleach solution and rinsed to hopefully kill off the rest of the algae that had grown over the last 2 months. I tested my fill water with the TFT100 and here are the results: CH 300ppm TA 120 PH 7.8 Chlorine 0.5 CYA 0 The...

Thanks for the responses everyone. We are hoping to have the tech come out and install the pump next week. Is the Intelliflo VS worth the extra $ over the superflo VS? The intelliflo VS is $275 more than the superflo VS. But each qualify for a $200 Edison power rebate that I can apply for once...

Hi All, I have been reading the forum for a while now! I apologize for the semi unorganized post, I just don't know where to begin! We purchased our home 2 years ago and it has a pool. I don't want to go into all of the failures we have had over the last 2 years but keeping the pool in check...
