We purchased an EVO 640iQ at the end of April. What do I do with the abandoned suction line in the wall from our old cleaner? It has a spring door on it, and I repositioned the handle at the equipment pad to open only the floor drains. I am afraid that the water/plumping trapped between the...

Pool salt cell history: 2016 pool build, Hayward ProLogic system with T-cell 9 2020 noticed the cell was not producing as much chlorine, set the percentage higher 2021- learned the hard way not to add salt when the system says “low salt”. Original t-cell 9 reached the end of its usable life...

Freeze protection worked fine for most of the winter. This morning I woke up to 36 degrees. The controller says that freeze protection is on. The pool and spa lights came on for the freeze protection just fine, but neither of the pumps (main pump for pool/spa and separate pump for waterfall) are...

Hi all, assessing my pool for damage. So far the equipment pad seems ok, though I won’t know for sure until I getting it running again. I was checking out the ice to see how much still needed to melt before I could get it running again and saw some funny stuff going in with the plaster in my...

This morning I noticed that my Aqua Pod was flashing “check system” at the top. I watched the main screen as it went through its normal routine, but it never tells me what the problem is. I just cleaned my filters and salt cell last week and reset the timer, so it shouldn’t be that. Salt level...

Sorry, I know this is going to seem like a really stupid question, but I am curious so I have to ask. Last night my kids went swimming at the neighbor's house. Today I find out they are treating their pool for algae, which does not just show up overnight, so it had the algae when the kids were...

My MIL needs to replace her Pentair IC40 cell. Prices seem to vary widely online. I am always hesitant to order something so expensive from a website/webstore that I don't know. Does anyone know of a webstore that is both reputable and has good prices on replacement cells? Thanks!

Last year (first summer pool was completed) my CYA was at 70. I just tested it today to find my CYA is at 0 (I poured everything in the tube and I can still see the dot a little bit). I did do a search about this and saw something about ammonia? But many of those were for pools that were closed...

I am trying to help my MIL with her pool, and noticed yesterday that her salt cell is suddenly leaking at the union (I'm not sure if that is what it is called....it is the spot where is screws on). I tried putting some lube on the o-ring and then we tried some plumbers tape, but it is still...

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find the answer, and I need to clean my cell this morning. After you clean the salt cell, how do you properly dispose of the muriatic acid solution that was soaking in the cell?

I found my pool with a whole bunch of dark debris in the bottom, quite a bit of which is now smeared into the plaster. How would I know if it was duck poop? The only other thing I can think of would be some punk kids throwing dirt/mud over the wall into the pool. So my questions are... 1) how...

Hi there. After waiting FOREVER due to weeping issues, we finally were able to plaster our pool this week. I have zero experience with pools, having never grown up with one, so I am feeling slightly overwhelmed right now. I was hoping that someone could let me know if I am on the right track...

We have now been waiting over a month for plaster, but we cannot because the pool will not stop weeping. They have drilled a few weep holes in the walls, but we are still weeping. I am in North Texas, so the rains that we've had (and more coming next week) keep making the weeping worse. We are...

I've been lurking for a just a short while, trying to absorb some of the knowledge here. We started our pool 16 days ago. Our PB seemed to be good at moving the process right along, we have gunite, tile and coping started Tuesday and they are finishing it today, electrical is done, and gas is...
