I've got a SWCG that's currently reading "Cell Power Error." Following guidelines on this forum, I pulled the main board to see of there was any burned spots behind the K1 joint. Doesn't look like that's the problem: Am I missing something? I'm not all that experienced with electrical...

I've got a Hayward RS 2000 pump with an AO Smith single speed, round flanged motor. Unfortunately, the motor was overheating, and when I opened it up, it seemed like the rear bearing was welded to the shaft, it was so stuck. Even using a set of bearing pullers, I just couldn't get the thing...

I've noticed that the four return inlets in the pool are all 1" pvc pipes. Two of them have what looks like the remnants of the eyeball fitting stub in them, but the threaded portion is totally missing. Essentially, it looks like someone tried to remove the fittings by pulling it straight off...

I've got several different size returns in the pool. At one point, the pool was drained and the fittings were removed and never replaced. All I've got now are pvc pipes of varying sizes that lead into the pool and end at the concrete. The largest opening is threaded, but no water comes from...

My Aqualogic SWCG recommends a TA level of 80-120 ppm, but Pool School suggests 60-80 ppm instead. The manual also recommends a pH from 7.2-7.6, compared to Pool School's 7.5-7.6. Right now, my TA level is about 100, and the pH seems firmly pegged at 7.5 (hasn't moved in the last week...

On Friday (July 22), I looked at Dad's pool, and saw this: I began the shock process. I cleaned the filter. All 420 sq ft of it. I added stabilizer in an old pair of nylons. 40 gallons of Clorox later... I began to wonder if adding bleach was working, or if I was just pouring more money...

Quick question here: The pool has a 2hp pump, and a 420 sq ft cartridge filter (I'm pretty sure Dad, who bought the setup a few years back, got heavily pool stored here). Although I don't have a flow meter installed, the filter indicates that it can turn over 50k gallons in 6 hours. Since the...

I'm trying to help my dad out with his pool. I got some strips a few weeks ago, and tried to test it myself. It didn't seem to have any chlorine whatsoever in it. I took a sample to Leslie's. The high-school kid behind the counter told me the chlorine levels were so high, it bleached out the...
