    Muriatic Acid in skimmer

    I don't have a heater and was thinking maybe adding MA to the skimmer when necessary will cut down the times I would have to soak the Salt Cell. Crazy?

    T-15---- Check Salt red light

    It's my neighbors pool.... The red light reads "check salt" (my Taylor kit measures 3600ppm). The green "generating" light is on. The readings are: 2900 84 24.7 5.6 / 5.7 (on then off then on) 2900 If the "generating" light is on will it produce chlorine even though the "check salt " is on?

    New Pebble Tec

    My neighbor just resurfaced their pool with Pebble Tec. They previousy had a Barracuda G3. There is a lot to like about that cleaner. The Pebble Tec installer said it would mar the finish. Is this true?

    Is there a way to test the flow switch. I unscrewed it and touched the 2 pieces together and expected the control box "red light" to go off. It didn't.

    SPA vs POOL

    I think I have a good handle using the TFP methods of maintaining a pool. Is there anything different with a SPA? My neighbor has the SPA and been using Bromine and ozone etc. and having trouble. I'm a Liquid Chlorine and Mauratic Acid guy. Can we just drain it and use the basic TFP procedures?

    My cell is flashing a green light in CELL area of the STATUS section. The manual says that it is not generating and to inspect the cell. My question is; inspect the cell for what? It is very clean and registers that it is 20% used. What is my next step? Thanks!

    My neighbor has a Hayward Swim Pure T-15. When he replaced the cell, the genaeric recorded 4900ppm Salt while the Taylor K-1766 showed 3600ppm. The lights indicated everthing was working and it was really generating Chlorine. He could cut the production down by 30% from the previous OME cell...

    With a Hayward Swim Pure, is it possible to have both top two lights (Power & Generating) to be GREEN and the water be too cold (53) for it to be producing chlorine? I have had it running 24/7 for 3 days and losing 1ppm per day. No other lights are lit.
