Need to purchase new board for Aqua Rite SWG. Any suggestions on what online retailers sell actual Hayward parts?

I have an Aqua Rite SWG. Yesterday I noticed it was blank- both the LCD and no lights. I took the face plate off and everything looked ok. It is 12 years old. I have soldered it once already, prob about 8 years ago. After turning everything on and off it came back to life, however, today...

I apologize if this has already been asked... I need to replace the in line filter assembly for my Polaris 280. Any recommendations on the best online store for replacement parts? I’m seeing a huge difference in pricing. I don’t want to overpay but also don’t want to buy junk. Thanks

Hi Everyone, We have a SWG and live in Northern Ca where the water is very hard. Over time we have developed a lot of calcium buildup on the tile, etc. in addition, we have noticed white flakes coming out of the returns the past couple years. We also saw a lot of buildup in the cell. We...

I received my TF-100 Kit today. It came with some Aqua Check Salt Strips. How accurate have others found these to be? Here are the numbers from my first test session with the TF: FC: 14 CC: 0 PH: 7.8 TA: 120 CYA: 70 Is it normal to have such a high FC? My cell is generating at about 40%...

We live in Northern CA and just opened up our pool after winter. We had to drain it many times (probably half the water) over the winter due to excessive rain. Our salt level read around 1500 so I added three bags of salt very slowly over the past 7-10 days. As of today it is now reading...

Going on vacation for about ten days. Have had some issues with SWG recently. It seems to be working fine right now but am nervous about an issue arising while we are gone. Is it a bad idea to put a chlorine tablet in the skimmer before we leave as a precautionary measure? I have a friend...

We have a Aqua Rite salt system, T-15 cell, about four years old. Had the cell cleaned about 7-10 days ago by a trusted pool service provider. We usually do it ourselves but he was here for something else (removing scale from tiles) and we were lazy. Ever since then I noticed a LOT of "white...

I have an Aqua Rite Salt Generator. It was running around 3000 to 3100 at the beginning of the season. We had the cell cleaned about a month ago and now it is up to 3700. I have not added ANY salt since we had the cell cleaned. Is this common? Do you all think that the 3700 is an accurate...

We just bought a Polaris 280 about a month ago. It was working fine, but for the past 2 weeks it gets stuck on our steps and literally will stay there the entire time it is set to run. The back up valve is working as I have checked it many times and it will pull the Polaris out of other parts...

For the past two days I have noticed something with my SWG. It seems to be working fine in the late morning. It is generating, I see the bubbles coming from the return and the panel says it is generating. However, when I come home in the afternoon, it still says it is generating on the panel...

We put in a pool at the end of last summer and have a Hayward Aqua-Rite salt generator. It's been acting up this spring. The panel read out is about 600ppm different (lower) from the water test we get in our local pool store. For ex. the panel says 2100 right now but the store says it is...

We are nearing the end of our pool project and have one final task to complete, sealing our concrete. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations of a specific sealer to use? We are planning to use a low gloss sealer with a non skid additive. I'm just not sure what brand sealer is the...

We just had our concrete deck and coping poured this past week. In addition, we have some raised planter beds that had concrete tops. Because these beds would be so close to our pool and a new raised bed behind the pool, we decided to bite the bullet, pay the $$$ and rip out the existing tops...

We are currently Building a pool in CA and are at the point of deciding on plaster. We can go with Stonescapes mini-pebble for 1000-1500 less than Pebble Sheen. Not much info out there on Stonescapes though. Does anyone have some thoughts on this product? Is it really that similar to the...

We are considering the use of precast concrete for the coping and for the tops of a raised bond beam. Is this more expensive than poured in place concrete? Are there advantages/disadvantages of using precast concrete? What manufacturers of precast concrete have you used? Ant thoughts would...
