It looks like doing some taurine and detox baths after swimming would be ideal for him. I think we'll move forward with the saltwater system!

Ok, so I am trying to avoid chlorine and thought not having to dealing with the liquid chlorine would be less toxic for him. Are there any non-chlorine/lower chlorine options for my pool? Pool FROG system?

Yes, my new pool is 15,000 gallons and the old one was 6,800. Would this mean that I'd need to add salt more frequently? The intex system has the option for up to 15,000 gallons.

Will do, thank you! Do you have any thoughts on the Intex System I mentioned above?

We are starting an expensive 4 month treatment for my son and was wondering if I could get away with the Intex Saltwater System for at least this year? We had one on our last pool and it was great, but I don't have anything to compare it to. Thoughts?

Ok! Will post pics soon. Is it this kit? TF-100 Salt Test Kit I definitely can't add any liquid chlorine to the pool once we get the SWG- we are trying to get away from chlorine completely b/c of my son. So whichever system I go with definitely needs to be able to use only salt.

Looking into buying this now. If I purchase the AquaTrol RJ, do I only need hard pipe aside from that? This is it, correct...

You guys are awesome- thank you!!! Looks like this will be our spring project :)

It's flex.

Right now it runs 24/7. This is our pump: Excel 1.5 HP Pump and 22" Sand Filter

Hi! I am interested in converting our pool to a saltwater system soon. Our pool is a 24ft round. Any recommendations?

I did add stabilizer at the beginning of the summer. Tested CYA today and it is at 0. Chlorine was at 0 and Ph was 8.2. Added acid and chlorine, numbers are good now. On my way in a bit to get stabilizer. Anything else I can do besides brushing?

Is that possible? My pool was doing SO WELL over the summer and now I am seeing black spots on the bottom (that are hard to brush off) after about a week of not being in it. It's definitely my fault for not staying on top of it- we've been so busy. I read that it usually appears in plaster pools...

ok thank you! what if the pH is high from this long SLAM?

We took him to urgent care and it's croup. However, I thought I was supposed to be keeping SLAM at 12, but you are saying it needs to be below that to swim? Water is crystal clear.

I should probably mention that we have not seen him swallow or ingest any water, but he does like to squirt it out of his mouth. He is nonverbal and water is his therapy!

Still fighting it. My son has developed a deep cough today and he has been in and out of the pool all week. Should I keep him out until slam is done?

I have been but don't always log my addition lol. Here's some pics. In the close up pic you can see it. It's a grayish/brown from what I can tell. When I hit them with the brush they just poof into the water. When I first started vaccuming at the start of SLAM, the pool blaster got a ton of it...

Still going with slam. Water is crystal clear, but particles appear on the bottom every night. I have been brushing, using pool blaster, aiper, and manual vac and STILL can’t get rid of it. Burning through a lot of chlorine and it’s still losing a lot.

I have been fighting with my pool for the last month or so, and am currently doing a SLAM. However, I'm not 100% sure the pH was 7.2 when I started- probably more like 7.8. Now it is 8.2 and the pool is eating up a lot of chlorine each night. Is this normal during SLAM? I feel like a crazy woman...

Hey There! So I've been struggling with cloudy water for the last couple of weeks. I have been vacuuming often, but still can't get it clear like it was last year. I'm honestly not sure if it's algae or sand at the bottom. They are building a high school two streets over and there has been a...

Ok, I wasn't sure b/c the chlorine has been staying at level 6 for the past 3 days now. I did the overnight test.

Hey There, I neglected my AGP last week while I was sick with covid and when I got back to it- the water was cloudy and turning green. I tested everything, used PoolMath, and have all levels back to pretty much normal, but the water is still cloudy. I can see the pattern at the bottom of the...

You’re a lifesaver, thanks!!!

Here are my numbers now: Cl- 5.5 PH- 8.2 CYA- 35 TA- 120 Do I add muriatic acid tonight then up the chlorine to 14 tomorrow?

Thank you so much!!!!

Hi! I am trying to access the SLAM article and it keep sending me to the home page. This is happening with most articles that I try to access. Is there something I need to do to resolve this or is it an issue with the app? Can someone let me know what I need to do to SLAM? My water is clear...
