First Winter with SWG pool

[dasbad]

I must admit I haven’t been as diligent of testing the pool since the winter temps dropped here in Houston.

I just did a test and it seems a bit out of balance.

Specifically my salt content dropped significantly. There was quite a bit of rain here in the fall and winter so I’m sure this is impacting it.

SWG is reading 2300 and my test is reading 2600.

Wondering what the best next steps are to get it back to balanced.

Thank you in advance

What model SWG are we discussing?

Add pool salt to the pool. Turn off your SWG before adding the slat and run your pump for 24 hours before turning on the SWG.

Raise your CYA to 60-70 ppm with dry stabilizer.

Add liquid chlorine to get your FC to 6-7 ppm.

Recommended Pool Chemicals

Which should I buy? TFP's recommended pool chemicals are cheap, easy, and won't unbalance your pool water.

Aquarite is the SWG.

I just cleaned the cell (minor build up). After reconnecting everything and turning the unit on the Inspect Cell was flashing and it was generating. Then it turned to Check Salt to red, Inspect cell to solid orange. I’m guessing it is because the salt content is too low now

Also not getting any flow

Did you do your tests with the pump on?

Not getting flow where?

I'd do the recalibrate on the aquarite.

Sorry this was an accidental post

Do a
Overnight Chlorine Loss Test before adding stabilizer to determine if you caught some algae and need to follow the
SLAM Process
