New to the forum and just bought a house that came with a salt water pool. I have a a Zodiac Clearwater Lm2-24 system and it has been nothing but a headache. At this point I am thinking about converting this to a standard chlorine pool. Is this possible and what does it entail?
I cannot seem to get this pool balanced. It calls for 4000ppm of salt. It was at 3500 about 10 days ago. I added a 40 lb bag, got the water tested. Still at 3500. Long story short I put 5 full bags of pool salt and it is still only at 3900. This is a 10,000 gallon play pool. I have not back washed, there is no leak so why are the salt levels not rising?
Because there is no salt every two or three days I am dumping 2 bags of burnout shock and half gallon of acid. Everytime I go back to get water tested, its the same; add salt, add acid and shock. I cleaned the cell had the pool inspected and everything seems fine.
Is there anything I am missing? And can I just by-pass the salt cell and make this a chlorine pool?
