Just dont put that money in 401K..

Because the price of Hayward cells has doubled in the past 5 years.

Thanks!

Has anyone had any luck with generic replacements for the hayward aqua rite? This will be my 5th year with the original cell and I would like to see what my options are. Prices have risen dramatically. I paid $850 for my entire system 5 years ago....now just the cell is $900. Thanks

Hi folks, Switched to a Hayward AquaRite 40,000 gallon unit 5 years ago. Purchased the entire system for $850.00. Have not opened my pool yet, but was checking prices on the chance that the cell needs to be replaced. $900 now for just the cell. Wow - Unbelievable. New System is $1,789...

getting late in the season here, and everyone is backed up, but I may try that. Thanks

I cant imagine what my pool would look like in the spring if I didn't cover it. we have a lot of trees in and around our yard. With a solid cover, I open the pool in the spring, and its ready to use in a couple days.

Has anyone repaired a solid cover that has some tears in it? We have solid cover with a section that has ripped. The section is probably 2 feet by 4 feet. I was thinking of cutting some vinyl tarp material and gluing or stitching the cover to get at least another year out of it. 90 % of the...

I slam mine the morning before I close it...for the reason you stated...

Thanks for everyone's input...I'm going to wait a week just to be sure..

Thanks for the replies....couple things to note: 1. I use a hard cover so there will be no sunlight. 2. My question really revolves around the fact that in a worse case scenario getting an Algae bloom in the fall will have what effect in the spring? Water temperatures will be at least in the...

So many variations on closing. Here's a couple things I do; 1. I do not lower the water level...if anything I keep it higher than normal. I have a large pool and a solid cover. The higher water level allows for the cover to come on and off easier, causes less strain on the cover, and keeps...

Not sure I understand the common logic of waiting for the pool water to drop below 65 or 60 degrees before closing. My water is at 72 right now, next week outside temps are suppose to go into the 80's.. Assuming I close with my solid cover today and the temps rise and my chlorine levels don't...

I have a 38,000 gallon pool and flip/flopped between wheter I should go with a stenner system or a SWG. The last few years I just manuually dosed with chlorine, but its tough going away for any length of time. I was leaning toward a Stenner setup just because the pool was so perfect with just...

Sigamond..that is correct, you'll need 4 I just did mine last week...buy a couple extra and a pic up a couple 1 1/2 inche couplers in case you make a bad cut...then take back whatever you dont use...
