    Strap in! 2 year old fiberglass pool. Major fading below water level. Pool shell manufacturer Alaglas came out 6 months ago, tech sanded a small piece of step and said its calcium. Advised me to lower calcium to 0 If possible(?) - my hardness was already low (90ppm) so I found this all suspect...

    Brand new SWG - extremely high average salt readings (omnilogic)

    New build pool - my Hayward SWG is showing instant salt levels of 2443ppm - but average of 24000!! Is this a hardware issue or perhaps an omni logic issue?

    New pool and SWG - this omni logic reading is surely incorrect?!
