    Discrepancy between salt readings

    Not sure if this helps... I tried Googling a serial number lookup but couldn't find anything.

    Discrepancy between salt readings

    According to my TF-100 salt kit, my salt is at 3.4-3.6, but according to the SWG it's 2.6. I'm assuming the kit is more reliable, so what can I do to "fix" my SWG?

    What is this stuff my vacuum keeps sucking up?

    Oh I don't know then. How can I find out? pH was ~7.6 a few weeks ago. I've since raised the FC to 12 which makes the pH test inaccurate to my understanding? CYA: 30 CH: 75 (I'm reading this might be the culprit?) CC: .5 TA: 90

    I just bought the house last fall but I have the pool plans from when it was constructed in 2001. I don't know if/when it was replastered since According to the plans, gunite

    Just got my kit

    FC last night was 13.5, this morning it was 12.5. CYA 30. 0 CC. So I'm assuming I'm done with the SLAM. Anything else I should do before raising the CYA to SWG levels?

    Just got my kit

    I did a backwash on Friday and psi is currently at 26. I reckon I have to do another... Is it normal to have to do it so frequently?

    Just got my kit

    FC last night was 7.5. This morning it was 6.5 (tested about 2 hours after sunrise so may have lost a little to sunlight). CYA hasn't come in yet but I'll be adding that as soon as it does. There's a brown "dust" like substance at the bottom of the pool. When I sweep it it poofs up just like...

    🤦‍♂️Oops. What's the TFP recommended product and quantity to buy for CYA? Preferably on Amazon

    Just got my kit

    The 7 FC was from last night and I got the same result this morning. But I will confirm again tonight/tomorrow. Can I use 90-92% calcium chloride ice melt to raise the CYA? The water looks pretty decent in my opinion. I can see to the bottom. Can you tell the material from this pic?

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    Can I use ice melt to raise CYA? The one I have is 90-92% calcium chloride, 4-6% water, 2-3% potassium chloride, 1-2% sodium chloride.

    Just got my kit

    I just received my kit and did the tests. Below are my values: FC 7 CC .5 pH 7.5/7.8 CH 75? I'm not sure how blue it needs to turn. It was a light blue TA 80? Again not sure how red. It was a light pinkish CYA 0? I don't know if I did something wrong here... The solution was clear. Filled the...

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    Ok so I cleaned my filter grids and replenished the DE yesterday. Suction seems to be good now. Although... the PSI was at 16 after the cleaning and went back up to mid 20s today. Could it just have sucked up a lot of stuff over the day? If I turn it off for a few minutes and turn it back on...

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    I'm going to try to make a trip out to Walmart today. How many gallons of liquid chlorine do y'all think I'll need for this process to avoid making another trip? Can I turn off the pump at all? I'm trying to be mindful of the energy usage 😖

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    I ordered the TF-100 Salt kit. I also set the filter to recirculate until I can clean and recharge the DE. Is there anything else I can/should do right now while I wait for my orders to arrive? I've read that the SWG should only be run when the water temperature is above 60F, which probably...

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    Thanks, so should I turn off the filter/set it to recirculate until I can add DE? Should I do anything else in the meantime? I'm considering the TF-100, do I need the salt version?

    First season as a pool owner... Quickly realizing I need a lot of help

    I'm completely new to pool ownership. Not sure where to even start, so apologies for my lack of knowledge. I have a saltwater pool which was just opened on Friday. It was very green initially but cleared up a bit after a few hours. However I noticed there was barely a change the next morning. I...
