Well we are first time above ground pool owners, and me being me I had to upgrade things from the start. Thankfully I was introduced to this forum and have been lurking for a bit. We bought the 14'x42" Ultra Frame, then added a 1050 GPH sand filter, then bought a used CS8110 SWG and the deluxe intex skimmer. Everything was great, even before switching from the small cartridge style pump and filter...I thought this is not as hard as I figured!! So I started the upgrades, added about 70 LBS of salt, ran the pump for 4 hours a day and the SWG 3 hours, and things were money...until we went on vacation..and the SWG died on us...and came back to a green pool! I had some shock treatment (Calcium Hypochlorite) and shocked since I was without a SWG. Knocked the algae down and have been brushing and vacuuming regularly, but it still hasn't cleared up, still green and murky. I ended up buying a new Intex 26667 SWG, but when turned on, I am getting the high salt code 92, and it shuts off after a minute or so. So, I think I need to drain some water (how much?) and refill. Do I need need to get the salt right and SWG working before SLAMing it? Should I buy the K-1766 test before I start, or take it in to get the salt tested? I think I read that the new SWG I bought likes it at 2500ppm. Here's my latest numbers from testing. Thank you to anyone who can get me headed in the right direction!!
FC = 2.5
CC = 1.0
TC = 3.5
CH = 225ppm (I think this is high? Pool math said drain 41% of pool)
TA = 60
CYA = 20
PH = 7.8
THANKS AGAIN
