Ok thanks guys. I have been running it for 18 hours at 60% and it has been reading 8-10 and it has been in the 90’s for a couple of months. I am in full sun From 9 am until sunset and it is always windy here so I have to top off every couple of days and fight a lot of organic debris. I have it...

This is my first year with SWG. I always ran my CYA between 50-60 for the summer. This time of year it always drops and I usually let it go down and closed at 30 CYA. With the SWG should I raise it back up? It was down to 50 today from 70 all summer. The days are starting to cool down and...

I thought I read that in the manual. Ok, thanks we are good.

Yes, the pump was on. I walk around the yard in the evenings checking the flowers, equipment etc. I must be getting old and setting a schedule🤣 same time every evening.

It must be the time of day I check the equipment because this is the second time in a week I saw the lights flashing. The second time I go back and check on them they are all green. Does it do a check once a day?

I tested my salt tonight and it read 3400. Do I need to add salt? If so, what kind...I have Walmart, HD, and Lowe’s.

My sister uses a service/pucks. Her water is noticeably different than mine. Even my Mom who knows nothing about pools has told me my water “looks different” and the first thing anyone says when they see my pool is how clear the water is. Even my seven year old neighbor twins notice it. In fact...

Just an update...don’t use the company linked on page one. That was the company I placed my order with and after emailing back and forth all day they wanted me to send the kit back at my expense and pay a 30% restocking fee. I ended up calling Amazon and they refunded my money and I have a new...

I am with ya 100%

I just ordered the correct things from TFTest kits.

I just did. Kids, let this be a lesson buy from TF test kits. This was my first time cheating on them and my last. This whole thing has been a disappointment from the start. I had just gotten my refills in March and a few weeks later I needed the salt kit. Instead of paying shipping again I...

Yes, I looked on the picture on Amazon and my yellow bottle number is R-0600

I think I got the wrong yellow bottle in my kits. That is the problem.

I have two K-1766 test kits both new with expiration of 03/21. here are results of second test kit, the test was done twice with this kit. The yellow was even lIghter than the first kit and after 15 drops

the initial drop was very pale yellow, here it is at 15 drops. I mixed the water very well and let it sit then mixed again before testing.

Salt was added in April by the pool company when they installed the SWG. I have never gotten the test to work right so I gave up on it. Last night my cell started flashing low salt about an hour after we had rain so I knew had to figure this out at some point and now is as good as time as any...

I just took the test again. The pictures are the orange, 2, 16 and 18 drops

I just did the test yet again. Mine turns orange with the first drop not yellow. Here it is after 20 drops

Yes, I am using that kit. Mine never turns from the milky white.

I watched a video because I can’t figure out the test. Mine never turns red from the salmon color. How red does the test turn? Here is mine after 50 drops. It got to the point I knew it wasn’t going to turn red but I kept going to see what it would do.

Thank you!

I ordered my refill kit in March during the sale. I didn’t open the refills until a few weeks later and noticed I didn’t get the CC test solution. I figured it was too late to notify the company so I didn’t bother. I am on vacation and don’t have access to my test kit and am ordering some...

My pool company comes up with some gems as well. The latest...you don’t need a pressure gauge. You only need to backwash once a week and your good. I live in a windy location and run Fiber Clear in my filter and have to backwash every four to five days and I push it an extra couple of percent...

Do you have an Atwoods? Mine has two pallets of pool shock and it is fresh And $1.99 a gallon right now.

I use 42 cases of Atwoods Pool shock every year. I can honestly say I have not seen a difference this year in the strength.

I have been doing this for five years. I have never had an algae outbreak. I opened in March and have yet to test my CH and TA. Mine never changes, In those five years I have gone through 2 1/2 gallons of MA as my PH stays solid. Chlorine is tested a couple of times a week. I know my CYA level...

I just raised my CYA to 50 yesterday. My pool gets direct sun ten hours a day and I use 128 oz of 10% when it is this hot and sunny. I would raise your CYA to 40 and see how that goes.

Thnx, I always open early (March 30, 2018, already scheduled) and close late. The water temp should still be in the high 40's or low 50's when I open.

Since the temps started dropping I have been using higher amounts of chlorine than past years. The pool looks great and all my numbers are in line. Results from yesterday: CL 6 CYA 40 TA 60 CH 75 Ph 7.2 My pool has looked fabulous and have passed every OCLT all summer long. Yesterday I had...

My teenage daughter and her friend can swim all day and by the end of the day I can see some cloudiness in my water.
