Before I started doing my own testing (about 2 weeks ago) Leslie’s told me I needed to add Calcium and Alkalinity Up. I did so not knowing I actually didn’t. About 2 days after I began to see tiny white flakes (like snow flakes) floating. I began reading here all the posts about calcium...

I don’t have any valves in my plumbing. Should I install any? If so, what advantages are there to having 3-way valves on your return and/or pressure lines?

When you find out you only live 45 minutes from one of the only places that sells granular boric acid, you take a drive!

Here are my latest test results. Couple of questions: 1) Do I need to lower my TA more? 2) Will my PH rise naturally with aeration from pump and SWG? 3) Can I add Borates now?

Am I the only one nerding out with this test kit😂

I have been doing a lot of reading while I am waiting for my test kit to arrive(which arrives today). I want to make sure I understand that if I need to get my FC level up (balancing it with CYA), the best way is to add liquid chlorine. Having a SWG does not preclude or relieve me of having to...

I attached a screenshot of my latest testing. One of the questions I have is about Calcium Hardness. Leslie’s wants me to add about 20 lbs. However, I read in Pool School that vinyl liner pools do not require this. Am I mistaken?

I have an Aquarite S3 panel controlling pump, lights and SWG. THE SWG and lights I can control from the Omnilogic App just fin. However, the Hayward VS 900 is not responding to any inputs from the main control panel or the App. It works just fine when I program it from the pumps control panel...

I am going to install the Hayward water temp sensor and want to make sure I put it in the optimal location. I read a few posts about it doesn’t matter and also read it was better to install it after pump but before filter. I added a picture and wanted to solicit some feedback on where ppl...

I am running a Hayward Tristar VS 900 with an Aquarite S3 Omni Salt Water Generator. We just finished the pool and I don’t plan to purchase a cover till the fall. What RPM should I run my pump at? I plan to run it 24 hours while the colder temps are around unless someone here advises me on...

I am in the process of installing Aquarite Omni S340, along with Hayward Omni VS 940 and Jandy Nichless underwater lights. The control panel that came with the Aquarite will control everything but the lights. What’s the best way to automate the lights?

New guy here and my first pool. We are still in the build process and I am trying to weigh the pros and cons of whether I need a pool cover or not. We live in North Alabama. Any feedback would be appreciated.
