My Circupool SI-45 cell is on its last legs. Has anyone dealt with Salt Pool Store - The Experts in Salt Water Chlorine Systems ? If so, what is your opinion of them? They list replacement cells at a much lower cost than Discount Pools.

I have a leak in a inground pool with a vinyl liner where I am losing up to a 1/2” to 3/4” of water per day the cannot be attributed to evaporation. Last fall during seasonal closing, I somehow put a hole in the liner while using a pool brush. Because of a lack of proper repair materials, I...

Does anyone now how to reset the percentage or system for a Circupool SI series SWG? My problem is that I was running my filter system for 8 hours with the SWG percentage set for 50%. That was not enough to maintain my desired FC level. Using the SWG runtime calculator, I set the filter timer...

I am having disguishing the differences in Ph 7.5 and higher level colors when using the TF100 kit. Is there an easier kit to use for people like me?

split from To close or not to close? Zea3 I am not trying to kidnap this thread. At what winter temperatures should owners consider closing pools? Where I live, we get maybe two weeks of weather with temps solidly below 32.

I have a TF-100 test kit and in the middle of a SLAM. I am about to run out of the R-0871 reagent and my reorder will not get here for a couple more days. None of the local pool stores carry that particular reagent nor, do they carry the Taylor K-1515 test kits. Is there an equivalent test kit...

What is the difference between the two? Are they interchangeable? Pool Math calculates CSI, I guess for those owners who have an other than vinyl pool surface. Equipment manufacture’s use LSI in their levels for a “balanced” pool chemistry. I read the Langelier and Calcite Saturation Indices...

Had an eraser hit my brain’s blackboard, comes with old age. How long should I wait to test cya levels when adding stabilizer? Most other levels I wait about an hour.

Got back Sunday from a long weekend to a cloudy green pool. Tested FC, was 0. It had been running 5-6. Using my last cya I added enough 6.5 jugs of 8.25% bleach. That should have brought it up to an FC of 31 but, another test 30 minutes later showed a level of 1. Added my last 2 jugs, put my...

Two weeks ago I opened my pool only to find a green swamp. FC 0 CYA 0 pH 6.8 TA 20 Salt 1800 Added pH Up to get to 7.5 and stabilizer (ended up at 100). Started adding bleach to get to FC 39 and maintained for 10 days. After 25 jugs of bleach I finally got the cc to .5 and passed 3...

Is there a way winterizing an inground pool located in Virginia that will prevent the liner bead from pulling out? Two winters in a row, I followed the following routine. I lowered the water level to about an inch below the return jets, blew out the return and skimmer lines, added...

We may be getting a hot tub but I know nothing about them. Are the same chemicals used as for a fresh water pool? Is there a chart for the chemical levels? Is there a benefit of using bromine vs chlorine?

I have a recurring mustard / light olive drab colored growth on my skimmer socks. It starts showing up about 24 hours after sock installation. Soaking in strong bleach solution "destroys" it. No growth or buildup is on the pool surface, just "normal" dirt which is easily vacuumed out. The...

Does any know if an SWG cell cycles on and off based on the chlorine level? Right now, I keep mine at 36%. At that level the amps and instantaneous salt level are 0. If I boost it up to 40%, it starts to generate. Putting back to 36% shuts it back down again. All lights are normal no mater...

Finally after SLAM, got my pool balanced! :whoot: FC 8.0 CC 0 PH 7.2 CH 175 TA 80 CYA 80 Salt 3800 Temp 75 Now, I've gotta keep that way. ;-) Hopefully, the temp will get a little higher for Mother's Day party. :splash:

Is there a way to test the daily total chlorine level in a SWG pool? With a CYA of 75 to 80 the recommended FC level is 5 to 6. I have the TF100 kit but, the OTO test only goes up to 5. Daily testing using the FAS/DPD will tell me but, it will rapidly use up my reagents.

I am using the TF100 test kit for my testing. I have a question about the TA color shift with an FC level of 31. The test instructions have a note that when there are high levels of chlorine, the initial color may shift to blue or yellow. When I test it goes from green to blue then to yellow...

Whenever I vacuum my pool within a few days I see what appears to be a handful of algae spots show up in areas such as next to wrinkles in the liner or seams. They are a yellowish / green in color. Some vacuum up like "dust", others need 1 light scrub with the vacuum head to remove them. The...

My first test with my new TF100 test kit: FC 6.5 CC .5 PH 7.5 TA 120 CH 175 CYA 90-100 (repeated three times, hence the range) Salt 4600 Temp 62 (burr) FC high because I am dialing in my new SWG. Was set at 75%, running 12 hours / day. Dialed it down to 50%. CYA high from using those stupid...

I purchased a CircuPool SI-30 Plus generator system. To be blunt, the installation instructions for the cell suck. The only thing that they stress is that the flow sensor be installed at least 12" from any elbows (it is a turbulence thing). The flow sensor isn't even marked for direction of...

I just converted my pool to SW and need to increase the cya level. I have two 4lb bottles of regular Clorox Pool and Spa Stabilizer and Balancer. Can I use it or should I get SW stabilizer?

I am want to install a timer system. I am looking at an Intermatic T104R timer. My pump 1HP and is wired for 240V operation. Power is supplied by 20 amp service. I am installing a CircuPool SI+30 Plus SWG. I have 2 questions. Will this timer handle powering both? If not, what would you...

I have a 16 x 32 IG pool, volumn is 17,260 gallons and am looking into converting to saltwater. Does anyone have any experience with the AutoPilot CoPilot chlorine generator system? In addition to the chlorine generator, it has an ozone generator. Is that a gimmick or does it actually work?
