    SWCG - Does CSI Need to be Managed

    I have and IG vinyl pool and never really paid much attention to my low CH (at least since using the TFP method) and therefore didn't manage my CSI. However this year I went all in with Inyo Pool and installed their Crystal Pure 60k SWCG along with the Purline 1.65hp VS pump. I believe that I...

    Starting over: Last year was chasing numbers, looking for less of that this year.

    I guess when you can only have an above-ground pool, really, EVERY year is starting over, but this year we've managed to squeeze a larger pool on the same spot. And looking back on my test results from last year, looks like I have about 2 months and 1 week from today to enjoy this pool, so I...

    SWG and Pets - Dangerous?

    I have looked around, but cannot find a good answer about pets drinking from a pool with salt. How dangerous is this? I have one cat (and countless other critters) that might drink from the pool regularly.

    residential in-deck pool SWG--do they exist anymore?

    Helo SWG Wizards. I inherited my pool 3 years ago. I was surprised that the ancient AutoPilot Cubby system with the In-Deck cell installation worked very well after I cleaned up the cell. For 2 years I didn't worry at all about chlorine levels--it just worked perfectly. 1 year ago, the cell...

    New pool, can I add salt now?

    My pool was installed over the winter here in New York, so after the brushing phase, they closed it without adding any of the salt, and said they would do it when they opened it this spring. They came out at the beginning of last week and opened it and cleaned it, but because they were “busy”...

    Slamming with SWG

    Hi Guys! Quick question, I have read that when slamming it is not needed to run the SWG. Which I don’t do...With that being said my CYA is 40. Should I slam with a CYA of 40 pass the OCLT then add stabilizer before running SWG. Or should I add stabilizer during the slam so when I pass the OCLT...

    Bonding Loop

    I have a fairly new pool, this will be our 3rd year with it. I am trying to add a Hayward Aqua-trol and I am stumped at this bonding loop. From what I can tell we should already have one for our pool to pump? However, we do not and that is how the professional installed it. So my question is do...

    Circupool RJ

    Hello I was wondering how many of you mounted your Circupool RJ or SJ exposes to direct rain? They are recommending covering it and keeping it out of direct exposure. ... I am considering the Pureline Crystal Pure because they said it doesn’t have to be protected from it at all

    Need to replace Salt Cell

    The control panel for my salt water pool system had a check cell message so I took my Hayward TurboCell T-Cell-15 to the local pool store to test. They told me it failed the test and to replace it would cost $900. I nearly fell over. Then they told me that I could convert my saltwater system...

    Help Choosing SWG

    Every year I say this is the year I convert to salt - this time I really mean it. LOL I looked here for feedback, opinions, etc. on what I should consider (i.e. what is best) and the general consensus seems to be all the major players are good / best in their own way. With that in mind, I...
