    Drop in salt cell for 4500 Gal water feature

    Yep that is the one I was thinking of. Yes you are also correct that an inline would probably be better in the long run. I will have to pick up a VSR and see what kind of a circuit I can come up with. I didn't even think of that. Thanks all, I knew you guys would come through.

    Drop in salt cell for 4500 Gal water feature

    They make ones that will go up to 20000 gallons. We had a Saltron on our hot tub and it was awesome and we never had a problem with it. I was trying to keep a clean solution to the wiring of the SWCG. I just installed a Superflow VSP and it allowed me to get rid of that ugly archaic timer box...

    Drop in salt cell for 4500 Gal water feature

    One that doesn't require it to be plumbed into the pump lines. Like the kind you can buy for hot tubs. Units weren't wearing out so much as boards were burning up. No power on conditions and things like that. Some after just a few months, others just after the 1 year warranty period.

    Drop in salt cell for 4500 Gal water feature

    We have a 4500 gallon water feature with 3 water falls. We want to convert it to salt and are looking at some sort of drop in SWG. Unfortunately looking at the internet just leads to buyers anxiety as a lot of the reviews are discouraging. Most of which revolve around reliability. Tons of...

    I have a hole with nothing to go in it

    Im hoping that draws some attention. We have a bahama step with a plastic grommet type hole in it. It looks like it may be there for a table or an umbrella. The problem is we cant find anything to fit. I measured the diameter last year, but forgot the measurement. Somewhere around 2 inch though...

    Need a new SWG

    Hey Jason I see that CompuPool also makes the systems sold as CircuPool. The CircuPool seems to have some extra options. Would it be worth it for the extras? Im guessing its like comparing a Toyota to Lexus

    Need a new SWG

    Weve had this pool going on 3 years. Its a 14K gallon plaster pool with a Polaris SWG. It has never really worked correctly and doesn't appear to have ever been a popular system. We had the system replumbed last year to replace some broken valves and add in a heater. This year we want to add...

    My pool water is wet and thats about the only good thing

    4 years old So after fiddling with this for a couple of weeks, my Cl is around 3-4, my PH is around 8 and it just doesn't want to go down. TA is still around 150 and my CYA is on the rise as it is now at 50.

    My pool water is wet and thats about the only good thing

    I understand what your saying and I'll pick up some acid and bleach. Now the guy said that the reason we always have to clean the SWG is because the phosphates are too high and this gives the calcium in the pool something to cling to and build up on the fins of the SWG. Is this possible or not?

    My pool water is wet and thats about the only good thing

    ok last year had a heck of a time keeping the water clear and the SWG working. Most times it said that we needed to add salt. So I would clean the fins with acid and it would work for a day. Then started to get algae blooms (I believe black and mustard) dumped a lot of chemicals in it to clear...

    Broken valve

    When we bought our house we had 2 valves that had one ear broken off. One for the slide and one for the waterfall. Well today my wife broke the other ear off the waterfall valve and I'm sure the other ear for the slide will go soon. Looking at what I have is my only course of action here to...
