I was able to run SWG at 100% all night and had 8 ppm chlorine at lunch today. I plan to inspect and clean cell tomorrow. One strange note, I now have white flakes (almost looks like rock salt) floating in the pool. Not sure if this is being discharged from return or some other source. Any...

Just curious, if algae was eating up all the chlorine would i see a difference in total chlorine an free chlorine? I show tc and fc the same. Basically showing no combined chlorine.

Yes cya is 80 which is where i keep it. I have used natural chemistry liquid cya lately for convenience. Thats the only thing different ive done but its been fine for the last month or two until now.

None of that. No algae and No swimmers at all this week. This morning i had no chlorine. Lost all of it overnight. Was 3 ppm at 11 pm last night.

Running 10 hours usually at 25 to 30 percent. Now im running 12 to 14 hrs at 80 percent. Salt on system diagnostics reads 3200 ppm. Pool store measures 3400 and aquacheck sticks says around 3000 ppm.

Helllo all, having some concerns with chlorinator. We have finally had a number of hot days in a row and my pool with no shade has reached 92 degrees. Ive had to push chlorinator all the way up to 80 percent to keep 3 ppm free chlorine in pool. Cya is 80. Usually i run it 20 to 30 percent...

I do this with the filter/pump running i assume?

I agree, i dont suppose the liqid cya could cause foam or some kind of runoff from flood? I was thinking there are many fertilizers/pesticide etc running off lawns in my neighborhood. Or could the excessive organic matter cause that even thought i dont see it anymore? Free chlorine and cc are...

Last monday (almost two weeks ago) when the pool flooded I added liquid chlorine (pool essentials chlorinating liquid from WalMart). Added one gallon until I could get the chlorinator back up and running.

I've read a few related posts on this but not quite found a situation that matches mine. Everything appears to be filtering fine but I have a jet that sputters occasionally and makes a popping noise. Water is still returning fine but I do see bubbles as this occurs. I am wondering if there is...

Thanks, i tried it out this afternoon. Cya does show increase around 20 ppm an hour later. Quick and easy but as pointed out, pricey. I read a few comments on amazon stating that it did not last as long or would not show up on tests a few days later. Hopefully that does not end up being the...

Nevermind, now it let me do it. Not sure why it would not respond before. Guess the chlorinator may not have been running at that moment or something. Thanks!

Ok salt was added three hours ago and is dissolved now. I turned chlorinator up from 0 to 15 percent on settings menu. My diagnostic menu now says chlorinator off, test salt level. The next screen which i think ia the one you are referring to says instant salt, chlorinator off. Is there a...

I added salt tonight and attempted to get an instant salt reading off the dignostic menu on the aquapod. The instant salt screen said 0000 ppm and i incidentally hit the + sign thinking it would refresh but i saved the 0000 ppm reading and now my default menu screen reads zero and gives me a...

Thanks, i think i will go the more expensive route this time due to lack of experience. The liquid seems easier at this point.

Need to add CYA after copious amounts of rainfall. I am down to around 30 and it is noticeably affecting chlorine levels. Pool store recommended a liquid stabilizer from natural chemistry that is instant and claims to be less harsh on pool equipment etc. I could add one gallon and get to...

Exactly what ive done, no algae yet, chlorine around 8 ppm, swg running well now showing 2800 ppm salt. Really the DE filter is doing all the work. Really proving itself so far. Dolphin m400 running continuously cleaning up all dirt. Learning a lot from this experience. Only issue was after...

Not sure what it means to have suction coming from main drain.

Ok well at least i have some chlorine in the water thanks to you all. I was thinking i needed three bags of salt to get from 2300 to 3200. I added two first just to be safe and not overshoot. Ive read the cells are not always accurate. Will wait and see. Thank u all for your help/advice...

Ok i added one gallon of liquid chlorine and added salt to get generator producing as suggested. Still getting an error message on aquapod and salt still shows 2300 ppm. I added two bags around an hour ago. For some reason its not detected yet. Is that normal?

Yes i have acid on hand. I will add another dose to get ph a little lower

Yes its all dirt/debri. Pool has never had algae. Was perfect water yesterday. I will get clorinator going. Should i super chlorinate or just set at normal rate till i get to 4 ppm. I typically run it at 25 to 30 percent. Keeps me around 4 to 5 ppm. But ive never had all this organic...

My walmart down the street says it has that in stock. Will go get some. Says above i may need about six jugs. How many should i add tonight?

Salt is 2300. Not produccing. I can add two bags and get it where it needs to be now i suppose. I turned it off to slam.

Ok good to know. Is there a brand to get and where can i get it? Was thinking i need to get some kind of chlorine in pool tonight. Only other thing i have is two bags of leslies power powder plus shock.

Chlorine free or combined are zero at this point. Cya around 50 to 55. TA is 70, just added acid and ph is around 7.5. I also added 5 lbs of DE to filter and started running before i added acid. Thats all ive done so far.

Ok i have bottle of chlorox regular bleach on hand. 6 percent sodium hypochlorite 94 percent other. Will thos work to start. How much should i add at a time to get from 0 to 20 ppm for 18000 gallon pool?

I will give it a shot. I do not have liquid chlorine. I Have bags of shock. Will that work? Is there a way to know how much to add to get to 20 ppm? Sounds like i need to add acid first and get ph right and then start adding chlorine?

Having trouble finding SLAM procedure on site. Sorry, first time.
