I've never added liquid chlorine, I thought the salt turned into chlorine. I was told if I ever need to 'shock' i turn the "super chlorinate" on, on the SWG meter boxI would add liquid chlorine to 6-8 then do Overnight Chlorine Loss Test
Don't worry, it will all fall into place. Simply listen to the moderators, study up on the TFP method, read pool school and watch as everything comes back to center..So what do I do you guys? Anything? Are my levels ok or do I need to do anything? When I enter numbers in the pool math it has target numbers but I don't know what my target numbers should be..
Thank you for the signature --
What model is "SWG turbo c
Recommended LevelsWhere can I go to figure out what the recommended levels
PoolMathAlso plain bleach I know, but how much, where can I find this info
Certainly. It is chlorine. The SWCG makes, Chlorine.And this is fine to pour straight into my salt water pool
I don't know how my pool builder is going to feel about me not testing my water with them. I was going to ask them. They have a warranty but for some reason I thought it would be void if I didn't use them and I would understand that because how would they know that I know what I'm doing and if I'm adding or using the wrong/right chemicals or not, thus affecting how their pool they built is functioning? The paper they gave me on how to backwash the pool etc, specifically says DO NOT USE MURIATIC ACID IN OR AROUND THE POOL. lolHey there Bethany, welcome to TFP from another Georgian
Your pool looks very nice! Let's work together and keep it that way. My first bit of advice is that if you can return those unopened chemicals, do. We don't buy expensive versions of pool chemicals- we use the exact same chemical but found at either Publix or Lowes.
Instead of buying "Lo N Slo" which is Dry Acid, please go to Lowes and buy some Muriatic Acid when you need to lower your pH. Your picture looks like the pH is about 7.8 right now and that's what my pool likes to sit at with the SWG. I rarely need to lower it more than once or twice a summer. Dry acid though is harmful to your salt cell so we don't want to use it.
The Bioguard 300 is calcium- Vinyl pools without heaters do NOT need calcium! That's just pool store gouging you.
Holler with any questions, ok?

Use the Liquid Chlorine chart. Once you are using your SWCG to maintain your FC, use the Salt Water Generator chart.I cannot tell what my recommended minimum FC should be since 50 CYA isn't even on the chart.
