    Hayward Aqua-Plus GLX-CELL-5 Not Creating Chlorine

    Recently my SWCG stopped producing chlorine. It’s less than a year old so I thought maybe it was dirty so I cleaned it although it looked very clean. I put it back in the system and it still didn't work. I then decided to clean it with an mild acid wash. Still no change. At that point I...

    I have a wire that came loose from the connector on the plug that plugs into my main circuit board at position J8. I cleared the remnants of the insulation etc but I can't get the wire to stay in the connector and make a good connection. Does anyone know what type of plug this is? I'd like to...

    High Speed Not Working

    I was having trouble with my SWCG. I replaced it and found that it still didn't work but it had a different issue. The issue had to do with the relay in the K1 position on the pcb. I re-soldered the relay and the SWGC is working like a champ. However, when I turned the power on to check the...

    Steady Pressure Rise Over Time

    When my pool was installed a few years ago the pressure gauge on the filter read somewhere around 20. I was told to clean the filters after a rise of about 10 from the current baseline. I have down this but noticed that my pressure never really falls back to where it was the last time the...

    PH and CH - What am I missing here

    :wave: My pool was completed in September of last year. Since that time I have had a high consumption of Muriatic Acid. I understand that this is normal early on but was curious when I can expect consumption to subside some? I use about 2 to 3 quarts each week. If this is normal that's...

    For Sale - Solar Cover - Never Used

    I purchased a solar cover last September and I have not used it and it looks like I won't so I thought I would sell it. It is still wrapped up as it was shipped to me so it's in new condition. I really don't want to ship it so this would be for pickup locally only. I live in Sugar Land...
