New Aqua Rite

Alright - well I run the pump for about 6 hours a day with the SWCG set to 60% - keeps the FC at 4. I am going to leave it there.

I tested my own CYA on Saturday - it was less than 20 - Poolstore had it at 10 last Monday.... I am guessing the pool builder didn't add any like they said they were going to - I am going to take another sample to the pool store today to verify and then add additional stablizer to get to the 60-80ppm range.

Thanks for the advice!

I am also new to pool ownership. Have had ours up and running now for about a month. My FC runs at about 2.5, and I thought that might be a bit low, but our water has remained crystal clear with no signs of algae.

I love this SWG system. After seeing my inlaws fight with their pool I thought I had a lot of work ahead of me. So far everything has been great, and the little maintenance I do seems a bit theraputic. Even after wasting four times for a total of about 12" of rain after Ernesto came through, it was simple to get the water back in line.

Good luck and happy pooling.

just my opinion, but the common advice seems to be to run a pool pump in about 2 cycles of 6 hours per day for best sanitation..what that should allow you to do as well is turn your SWG output level down..to what, i don't know..30%? 40%? therefore extending your cell life.
