Oh wow - total McGuyver move with the binder clip...and I'm over here worried about burning down my house! And yep - I checked my version. 1.58...blah. I'm gonna try a few things from the relay angle. I have a guy looking into it - but he's asking for a schematic of the main PCB. I've...

Haha mines a 1.59 and I’ve still got the old school issues lol. Crud it may be 1.58 now that I think about it. You’ve got a skillful friend!

Usually you can see cracks in the coating on the thermistor indicating it’s bad. But like I said above, I’ve had a few that looked normal and couldn’t find any cracks - but they were bad. I never bothered with testing them because in order to access the thermistor...everything else is removed...

“It would be nice if they could eliminate it or make it plug in for easy replacement.” Hold my beer. ?

If it’s not working right and you’re confident in your soldering skills, I’d go ahead and replace the thermistor just in case since you’ve already accessed the board. The first time my unit blew the factory one, there was a very noticeable separation. Every other time (about 3-4 since then) they...

After thinking about the issues I've had with the thermistor on my Hayward SWG and researching on the forum and google...I came across a mention about an external thermistor. Hmmmm.... So that got me thinking. What if you could solder a couple of leads from the pin where each leg of the...

Well I got home today and BOOM - finally got some color on the strips. Both total chlorine and free chlorine look to be about 1-2 give or take. I guess it just needed a couple days of run time? Very relieved. (And yes, I know - I’ve got nary a microgram of CYA lol). I’ll add some and see if it...

JamesW - I'll give that a try too. I have a T9 I figured the T9 rated for 25k gallons would be sufficient with my ~16k gallon pool.

jblizzle - 1) Water is clear, but recently I started to have algae in certain spots on the wall and used granular pool shock since the SWG wasn't working and brushed it out. Hasn't come back in the last few days. 2) My CYA has always been low or non-existent. One of my first seasons a few...

Hi all - After a good 5 years of life, my T9 cell finally bit the dust earlier this year. The cell was giving salt readings apparently well below what they actually were. The display would show something like 1500 ppm. So like I've done before each season, I added some salt to the pool...

Location updated :) - It's central Mississippi, so we get a good bit of sun. But yeah - I was planning on buying covers and taking them inside when not in use. And I've used the 303 spray on my Jeep...it's phenomenal since most of the thing is plastic. I know they also make different kinds of...

When I first bought my house, I bought 8 cheap fiberglass chaise lounges. I found that was way too many - and they didn’t last more than a handful of seasons before they broke or got dirty past the point of no return. So I tossed them out and ordered 4 fancier rattan lounges with cushions...

Haha, I figured there had to be a term for it..

Ha here's all I have. I tried to get a pic of all the sand caked on the inside, but they didn't turn out well. I'll post a couple of the finish :)
