SWG - are a pain. :) Salt and all. SWG not effective unless water is above 60+F. Heard all the reasons and have to tell you. I use chlorine to open my pool to hit the winter nasties, drain a small amount 3" inches, 1000 gallons, then hit again with chorine, generally 12.5% or in a pinch 10%...

My best guess... Not that I haven't researched, look at the Pentair SuperFlo VS pump. Heads-up, Hayward and Pentair are "almost clones" but have price diffs.. So which one is best??? No clue. My VS Superflo has saved me money, runs 22hrs per day on 3 different speeds I program, and pool is...

Huh??? Your Filter, Swim pro Model #SW256T calls for Silica - not sand. Is that what your seeing as 'glass' on the bottom? My best guess is that your filter needs to be emptied/cleaned and new silica replaced. With new Silica - you should notice a difference, I hope..

What Hayward do you have? There are many... Mine is a SwimPure with a t15 generator. Algae blooms??? Grief! Seems like you have water problems/chemistry. SWG systems require balance to the water before they function correctly. I know, didn't help you.

Thanks all! Went to the link and will follow the guidelines. The CYA has always been a problem in the pool running well above 150. I've drained, refilled and it is good at 50 for about a week, then as the Tri-chlor is used from my Pentair Rainbow 320 In-Line Chlorine/Bromine Feeder it creeps...

Pools are ALMOST worse than boats for the $$$$ to enjoy, actually boats cost more, to be honest. I have a 12,500 gal Vikinig Rockport pool, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikingpool ... 67/detail/ for some pics. Major problems I've tried to deal with are: tan staining on the white...
