New construction

Everything read clean. 240 where it was supposed to be 120 was right there. 12-13 on yellows ind and 24.95 combined. Can I wait a few days for the fresh water I just added to mix in before adding more or replacing. Any math on what I believe is a 12k not 13k pool for water replacement to lose 600ppm of salt.

It seems like your salinity readings are somewhat erratic.

Maybe review the test procedure.

 

[newbie919]

Will redo again. Was not sure if I am supposed to use Swg or taylor test in poolmath.

 

[newbie919]

Ran test 3 times. 16 drops. May have had a smidge more than 10ml on first few salt tests recently. Made sure I was dead set 10
with teenage sons eyeballs.

What does the SWG say now?

You need to get the amps below 8.0.

 

[newbie919]

Still the same adding fresh water trying to dilute. Running pump on high try and mix a little faster. Will check in morning. Thinking of shutting swg down now that I know it will produce the chlorine I need. Plus sitting at 20 fc is unnecessary for our bather load.

Cmon I am a run it hot guy like @Newdude lol. Nah just needed to test output after all the problems pool builder had getting this thing running. Will test tomorrow and see if the water I am adding dilutes it a bit. Tested tap water no measurable salt.

Plus sitting at 20 fc is unnecessary for our bather load.

But I bet it's stupid clear though. Ask me how I know.

Mos def. Ran into a lady at wally world buying bleach Yesterday. She was pool stored and was about to buy the blue stuff. By the time we were done chatting she was heading home to slam with tfp page on her phone. 3rd one so far this summer. Drop it like its hot…

Lights have not been working since new board and flow switch installed last week.
Tech set one relay. Transformer is on a seperate relay. Added second relay in config and lights work.
Cmon its not rocket science.

So clear the dog needs shades

I wear my sunglasses at night.


This was midnight with the blue moon. Freaking. Midnight. Sparkles.

 

[newbie919]

That is an awesome pic!

 

[newbie919]

Ok just drained roughly 20 pct of water. Hope it lowers salt. Had a friend come by and take these for me.

 

[newbie919]

first one of these

I normally swim at night . Went to see if water level was above skimmer yet and lil friend cant get past the cantilevered edge. Better than finding it in the skimmer

 

[YippeeSkippy]

You need a FrogLog. Since we got ours a few years ago we have not found any "livestock" in either the pool or skimmer.

 

[newbie919]

I have two since removing them no frogs. With them 10 frogs 8 dead in skimmer. Will try them again. Skim poked lil friend out and it slithered away like Carl Lewis at the Olympics.

 

[newbie919]

So even at 3400ppm avg I am at 8.5 amps.
