swg

I had a mess this week, went on vacation, came back green pool. thats all fixed now, but my drum that i thought would last til winter is empty and its got me thinking about a SWG. I bought a stenner pump with tank earlier this year which is great but it ran out (due to my math being wrong)...

Hello. Searching for wisdom. 1000g above ground pool. Intex ECO 5110 SWG generator. Previously posted w issues having earlier this season w error codes. SWG 1 yr old and only 2 months of use last summer. In summary— got 91 repeatedly, so slowly added tons of salt, tested salt and it had...

Hello everyone - I have a 14,000 gallon mini-pebble plaster pool and after 30+ days since we added our water, the contractor turned on the SWG yesterday. I had been doing great with my chemistry using liquid chlorine and now everything is out of whack and I have a few questions. I want to see...

Hello, Here is the pool - it is very small and irregular, but I estimate volume at around 10 cubic metres (2640 gallons). It turned green 10 minutes (OK - 3 days) after being filled. I have acquired but not yet fitted a pump and filter combo in a fiberglass box. The pump is 0.5hp, and claims a...

We did decide on a fiberglass drop in pool, but my husband and I are having the great debate... chlorine or saltwater. I could use some help to ease my mind about the harshness of chlorine or to ease his about the damage salt can do. So a quick summary of what you chose and why would be a...

Posting new thread per @mguzzy: My csi has been within optimal range and I am getting white flakes out of my returns, as generated by SWG. Pool store states calcium hardness at about 440 or so. My fill water is about 200-250 if memory is correct. Replacing evaporation loss always adds more CA...

We just converted to SWG fro uv ozone/chlorine pucks. We are about two weeks in and noticed these white flakes and what appears to be corrosion to our pump. Any idea what would cause this? Pool company says it’s normal and they don’t see any leaks. I’m not thinking this is normal.

We have an intex 4500 galloon pool with 1200 gph sand filter and intex swg. Our pool is in the shade, basically always. We have a wooded backyard. I really think the shade affects or FC loss, which is very little. Lately it has been raining a LOT (midwest, MO). I have been running the filter...

Hey folks, I want to clean my salt cell on my AquaPure 1400. Do they make plugs I can use to plug each end of the salt cell once I have the muriatic acid solution inside it? It would be nice if I could screw something onto the threads to cap each end to hold the solution inside. Thank you.

I’m thoroughly confused. I have an 16x32x52 Intex ultra frame with the sand filter/swg. Different advice all over the place. I want to know when I add salt, chemicals to balance, backwash, turning on the pump, turning on the swg. Some people say salt first, others say salt last after you’ve...

Hello everyone- I have a 13,000 gallon, above-ground, vinyl SWG pool located in east coast central Florida I want to give a big thanks to the community. we filled our pool with well water, and used the pool store for chemicals guidance. The water balance was very off. As you all know, they...

Hey all. I renovated my 30,000 gallon inground pool this spring, new plaster went in May 28, 2021. I have an Intellichlor SWG that I’m hoping to start using soon. I’m having trouble getting the FC level up before I turn on the SWG. I added 4 gallons of bleach last night and here are my levels...

Hi, I have an 18 x 9 intex pool running a 1200 gph sand filter and intex swg. I filled the pool earlier this week for the first time. The salt finally dissolved yesterday and i turned on my SWG. My free chlorine got up to 4 yesterday so I turned it off. I'm trying to figure out if I should...

I've always had a metal problem that Metal Magic will take care of most of the time for me. I usually have to treat the pool once a year or so, and I do a monthly maintenance according to the directions on the bottle. It has always worked great for me. With the addition of a new SWG (never...

I've just upgraded from a Jacuzzi pump that the previous owners had that was on it's last legs to a new Jandy VS pump with the iQPump01 controller. I opted to add an SWG as well. I was under the impression that this pump had a relay to turn on / off an additional accessory, but apparently...

Hello there, My pool has an automatic pool cover and is covered most of the days. I open it for few hours on the day I am swimming/maintaining/cleaning. It helps to keep the leaves/debris from entering the pool (for the most part anyway). I am wondering if it is a good practice to do so. Do...

We are FINALLY filling our pool. It is 18 x 9 intex ultra xtr with 1200 gph sand filter and intex swg. This is going to sound like the dumbest question - what order/timing do I do everything. I have read all the forum start-up guides, but i don't quite get the order. (We also have the TF pro...

Hello TFP Community! First post here. My pool is under construction. Specs should be in signature. During the build I’ve been reading up on maintaining pools. Came upon the TFP method. Buy into the TFP logic, read the pool school book, and TF-100 kit will be ordered soon! Reason for my post is...

Hi all, Looking to switch to SWG and will be replacing my 35 year old heater. (Just bought the house). Anyhow, looking at the Pentair master temp 400 and was wondering if the Salt is a reason to upgrade to the HD version (cupro nickel). It would cost $800 more net. (SoCal gas has a $400 rebate...

I have a salt water chlorine generator with a T-9 cell. When producing chlorine I get bubbles coming out of my return jets and the bubbles rise to the surface. If I turn off the SWG the bubbles go away. When I turn the SWG back on, the bubbles return. I have linked a video showing the bubbles...

35,000 gallon in ground vinyl pool, SWG A few years back this forum helped me realize low CYA was my major problem (0-10 CYA in a Salt Water Pool). Once I got it up to 70 using the sock method I have a crystal clear pool that's very easy to maintain all season. My problem is the low CYA...

We have a 16x32 inground 4-6 ft depth saltwater (SWG) pool that we built in 2015. We have had very little trouble over the years until we opened the pool this spring to find it cloudy. (Long story—but just before we closed it last fall, it got an accidental overdose of algaecide). We just...

Hello, friends! I am newbie😊but I am willing to learn! I need to know steps what to do after filling up my pool with water. I have Intex XTR 18’ round pool. I’ve bought Aqua Trol above ground saltwater system and Hayward pump. I really lost and don’t know what to do first, what chemicals should...

I started receiving a 125/194 Error Code from my chlorine generator last week. I spent a bit of time researching and learned how to clean it. There was a bit of buildup inside so I first tried to clean it with a hose. This didn't work so I used a water muriatic acid combo which did the trick...

I have an Rj-45 Plus that is in it's 4th year. Was working until a few days ago when I got a High Temp warning on the display. The temp is reading 164 degrees F. I called discountsaltpool.com where I purchased it. They recommended cleaning the cell before sending the unit in for repair. I have...

I am having trouble getting my chlorine numbers up. This is my fourth year with the pool and first time having this issue. I have use this website for most of my pool knowledge and could really use some help understanding this. Here are my current readings: FC 1.77, TC 2.03, PH 7.2, TA 111...

Howdy! I'm really interested in installing a Handy TruClear system to integrate with my current setup. The manual says it should be horizontal in a 16" section of pipe - I just don't see an option without major tear-up. Any ideas?

Our Jandy AquaPure PLC1400 was flashing the service light yesterday with a 145 code, which means salinity was too high. I checked salinity via the unit and it read at 4.5gpl...should be below 4.0gpl and operating range is 3.0 to 3.6gpl. I drained off 2" of pool water and added fresh water and...

It's 2021 and everything in my backyard I can control from my phone except the Pool Pilot DIG-220. My Jandy panel has later software which no longer works with 3rd party SWGs (thanks Jandy). Chlorinator Translator doesn't work with the Pool Pilot either. What other options exist besides...

I just purchased a Circupool RJ-60+ system for my southern Illinois inground pool (description in my sig) to try and get ahead of the chlorine shortage this summer. I have 0 experience with salt water pools, but have done a lot of reading about them. I'm still not 100% convinced that the salt...
