Hi everyone, I am looking at getting some insight on what I should get as my next pool heater. I like around the Toronto area. I have a salt water pool and my current heater gave up the ghost about 2 years ago. I have got a couple quotes and I am looking at either the Jandy JXi or Hayward H...

Hi there, I have an inground pool with the main draining coming into the skimmer basket. I am trying to blow it out, but is very difficult because it is not hooked up to a valve or anything. Attached is a picture of it (I have both holes plugged now for winterizing) (I found this online, but...

We have a vinyl cover for our pool which snaps into the perimeter of the pool (not a safety cover) and we have noticed lots of tadpoles on top of the cover. We are not planning on opening our pool for another few weeks and we are wondering how to kill/get rid of these tadpoles. Any suggestions...

I bought a house that has a SWG system in the pool. I know the benefits of the system over chlorine types, but I can't seem to find any negatives, mainly relating to the parts of the pool, ie: pump, filter, water likes, liner, etc. the only negative I found about the SWG systems is that it...

Hi everyone, I am sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but i am wondering what people recommend for keeping leaves from building up in the skimmer basket?

Hi there, I have a Laars LT250NS-C heater with a small crack to the header, beside the plumbing (see pictures). It has been siliconed (caulked) and worked for a couple days then a small leak started. So i took off all the silicone and reapplied some more. I am not sure if i will hold or not. I...

Hey everyone, So I was trying to clean my pump filter basket out tonight and couldn't get it out (see other thread) and while I was cleaning it, I looked up at my salt water chlorinator and noticed it was starting to empty out. I do not have a check value and my pump is up slightly higher than...

Hi there. I pressed the super chlorinate button on my zodiac lw2-24 and the add salt light came on immediately and is still on (10 mins after turning on super chlorinate). Is this normal? The reading of salt is 4000ppm but the FC is 0.1. All 5 lights are on on the display output though. Thanks

Hi everyone, I just purchased a home with a Zodiac LW2 SWG installed. The old owner just opened the pool before i got it, but did not add any chemicals to it. I am not sure how old the SWG plates are, but they are black as black can be with no calcium build up. I added schock, then a day later...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a home with a salt water pool, and I couldn't be happier to enjoy it everyday! However it seems there is a lot to learn before enjoying one of these babies. The pool is hooked up to a Zodiak LM2 SWG. In order to turn the power off to the unit (when I add salt), I...
