Installing a new Intex AGP with saltwater chlorination.

[tigers75]

Yes I unplugged the copper electrode from day one. I had issues initially getting the CYA up. The SWCG has been very consistent in keeping the CL in range, and I am not seeing giant shifts in the CL, so I assume the CYA level is functional at its level?
Would it be wise to NOT use the SWCG for a couple of days, and instead add a nightly dose of dichlor/borax to up the CYA, retest and if find, continue on using SWCG from there? Or just stay the same course, I am on?

Do you have your manual for your unit? Or can look it up online? I'd try and find out what the required CYA level is for your SWCG.

All the manuals are available online at http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/manual-video/

Yes, so according to the Intex "preferred water chemistry readings", they have this in the manual for CYA levels:
Minimum-10ppm
Ideal-20-40ppm
maximum-50ppm

They also have readings for free chlorine:
minimum-0ppm
ideal-0.5-3.0ppm
maximum-5.0ppm

Combined Chlorine:
minimum-0
ideal-0
maximum-0.2ppm

pH:
minimum-7.2
ideal-7.4-7.6
maximum-7.8

I guess based on their preferred readings, my CYA of 40 is right in the middle. Does this seem to low? Do I assume that since I am maintaining consistant levels for pH and CL, have a clear pool with no signs of algae bloom,ect. that this is ok?
Thanks everyone again.

You can certainly run a pool successfully with those levels.

Hello all! It has been a great summer so far with our pool and all things seem to be pretty much right on course. I noticed over the past couple of days, that the pool water has a slight haziness look to it? I did the full Taylor test this am and the results are as followed:
fc=2
cc=0
ph=7.5
alkalinity=70
calcium hardness=70
CYA=50-55
salt= 6 or equivalent to 2490ppm
CL=2.5
Due to splashing around, rain water,ect. I will add more pool salt to get the salt level up to at least 3000ppm, which is recommended for the SWCG. I have a newly replaced pump filter.
**Along with adding more salt, and running pump for a few hours to mix it in, should I turn off the SWCG tonight, and add in a 1/2 or 1/4 dose of dichlor/borax mixture to help clean up slight haziness??
Any suggestions or previous experience (stories) much appreciated.
Thanks

It wouldn't hurt and the haziness may be from your chlorine being a little low. If that is the case, shocking it may help clear it up.
