    Well I finally figured out where the white flakes were coming from. I increased the time the pool pump stays on as well as the SWG. The scale was coming off of the SWG cell and was entering the pool by the 2 closest return lines in the wall. So the heavy usage helped clean my SWG. All is well...

    No more acid needed? Is it possible?

    Well the question is will the pool water ever get balanced that it no longer needs any acid? My pool is now in its 3rd year and it seems that the acid demand has decreased to zero and my ph is sitting at 7.8 for the past few months. FC nad TC are both in the 4 range. Hardness has been 250 from...
