Thank you for replying. I spent yesterday sinking all the rest. This is my first rectangular pool. I erected the pool to determine where the pavers would need to go and placed them. I filled the pool with water today and I am 1“ off. Not to bad. You are right though, the legs are far enough...

Are sinking pavers strictly for protecting the liner from rubbing up against the paver? I have an 18x9x52” rectangular pool. I am using 15x15x2” pavers. Currently I have the pavers on one long side sunk whole the pavers on the opposite long side sitting on firm ground And not sunk. If I run a...

Well according to the sand filter manual, the Maximum flow rate on the sand filter is 1050gph, so it will not handle my 2500gph pump. I may just use my set up from last year which is my 2500gph pump and my SWG. If I purchase a new sand filter with valve, Will I be able to remove the cartridge...

Hey everyone. I am new to the XTR series but not new to intex. I. Have owned a few prism pools and decided this year to get the XTR as all my other intex pool rusted out in 1.5 years. I am hoping the XTR holds up longer. I never use the included pump which always seems under powered. I own...

Well I shocked my pool, and all is clear and clean.

Hey guys for the first time ever, I seem to have a greenish tint to my water. I just tested and here are my results: FC: 3.0 TC: 0.5 PH: 7.6 TA: 80 CH: 100 I've run my pump for 12 hours last cour of days with SWG running at. 6 hours. Any advice to get rid of the green tint?

Can't believe this but my liner sprung a leak. Never ever had this happen to me. First time for everything. I have been able to patch the hole which was near the outer circumfrance. I was able to patch from inside the pool and from outside. I lost about 6 inches of water. Should I allow the...

Dang. Yes I meant to write 5.0. The pool has not been used since last weekend. Had good use today as it's about 90 degrees here. Funny, before the SWG, I never worried about pool chemistry. Now that I have been studying this site and have my Taylor kit, I've become sensitive to every reading...

Had 2 days of rain here and FC is testing at 6.5? That's a huge increase considering I was at 3.0 just this past Friday. I have not added any thing to the pool. The SWG has been working beautifully all along without any errors. PH is at 7.4. Anything else I should be looking at for the reason...

I received my taylor kit today. Followed the instructions to the letter. Added the powder to turn the water pink. Then added 26 drops of proper regent to turn the water colorless. I filled the water to the 25 mark so this was equal to 0.2ppm. 26x0.2 is 5.2. So Taylor Says I have 5.2ppm...

I added CYA directly to the pool. Very slowly.

FC still is at 3 my Salt level is at 2540ppm Ideal according to manufacturer is 3000 CYA is registering as 0, should I add more stabilizer? My intex SWG is not registering low salt and seems to be working fine. Should I add more salt? If so, does the SWG need to be off, while the pump is on...

My pool has 3300 gallons per the manufacture. And Yes I did use poolmath which stated to use 83 opunds of Salt. Yesterday at 7:PM was the 24 hour mark - my pump ran for 24 hours. This morning I had very little salt on the bottom. I tested for salt and I was up to 2600ppm. My FC was up...

I never tested for CYA before. Mostly FC and PH. My pool was always crystal clear and never had a problem. I have a small pond with a waterfall feature in my backyard. No fish. To keep the small pond clean, I just drop Chlorine tablets in the waterfall bucket. No green water, and no...

Baking soda worked for me. Always had ideal PH and Chlorine. Checked a few other factors but never worried too much other than PH and Chlorine. Regardless of weather or not my water was balanced properly, I ALWAYS had crystal clear water, no algae, never any cloudy water, and never had to...

I live in Wayne NJ. Never had to shock my pool or add anything after rainfalls. I never had to worry or overthink my pools chemistry. Maybe because it's small? Most I had to do was add baking soda for the PH. I really want to try the SWG, I hear such good things about them. Once the salt...

Wow...A lot of reading. Honestly as I have said, I have never worried about my pool with chlorine tablets. My PH was always maintained. And I really did next to nothing. I have a small pool 14x38, the SWG really seems like too much work and worry. I am going to return the SWG and stick with...

I am reading the links now. Lots of info. Honestly in the past I shocked the pool on first setup and then floated chlorine tablets. Everything else seem to fall into place. The SWG seems to be a lot of maintaining. But maybe thats because its just new to me? Pool math says 14oz of 6...

Thank you for the welcome. Manual says I should maintain salt range of 3000ppm. If I am using pool math correctly, (Goal:0 Not Setup:X), for a FC value of 2.0 it says I should add 14oz of bleach? I have never used bleach in my pool. Is this bleach I can buy at any supermarket or walmart? I...

Hey Folks. I have a small round pool, 14x38 with 3300 Gallons of water. I have a 1500gph pump. I have had the pool for a few years and have been using chemicals with out any issue. I decided to give the SWG a try to reduce the amount of chemicals I need. My pool is currently filling as I...
