I got back from my trip and the pool is all cleaned up and looking good, working to get the salt balanced out and the CYA up and then I'll be switching back over to the SWCG. Our 7 year old went swimming yesterday for quite a while and the water was only 66 degrees....time to get the heater...

Opening my pool late as always, is it actually late or just on time if it is the same time every year? It seems we go from a pile of snow to 70 in a weeks time so I never get my pool open when the water is still nice and clear and cold and this year is no different. We pulled the cover off and...

I put instructions on how to clear this in the heater section....good luck.

I figured it out.....no amount of powering down will reset it, I tried many things many times......the proper procedure is to hit the button on the control board that says setup next to it (only button on the control board, it is in my picture above) for 15 seconds, then hit the mode button for...

Thanks for the help, I'll put everything back together and I guess give it some time....It has been 3 hours since it faulted out but maybe since I have it apart it hasn't reset.....not sure but thanks.

cycled the power switch and cut off all power and it hasn't helped. Everything looks good inside now, I had to clean a bunch of acorns out of it....dang those mice can get in through the smallest cracks.....not even sure how they got the acorns in. I read where some people had a reset button...

I have a new Raypak heater model 264. It worked when installed last fall. Today when I went to fire it up for the first time it wasn't able to get all the air out of the gas line in its 3 attempts and now it is locked out and just says call service. Does anyone know how to get the controls...

It has been a struggle to get the salt to come up....probably a combination of water splashing out from the kids and the plug in the main drain leaking a little bit. That is one thing I don't really like is that my skimmer is right near the top of the pool, any little wave from the kids jumping...

I have had the swcg off while I figure how much flow I need and only turning it on while I work on it.....I am going to try killing the power to the pump and see if it keeps the settings (has internal memory), if it doesn't then I need to figure out a way to get the pump and SWCG on different...

currently it is not....I need to figure out a way to do this better.....and of course I just finished off my garage this spring where I am pulling the power from so I don't have easy access to the wiring. actually does not...but I know what you meant......more than likely some leaking out my...

a little more background....my pump blew up last week and I am getting used to a VS pump, I think this started acting up becasue I had low flow, and then my salt got low in the middle of adjusting that, so that is what confused me....We are in a drought this year and going through a lot more...

Here are my readings off the new cell Actual is about 3400 off test strips....in doubt, 1766 ordered

Ebay, some place on the other side of the cities from me so it was only 1 day shipping. I am thinking my salt may be low, I just noticed we are only using test strips so I just ordered the Taylor kit. I followed the instructions for the install and it seems to acting like the previous cell. I...
