I just left Leslie Pool Supply after a 30 minute debate with a clueless employee. I mainly only buy acid and toys when they go on sale as they are down the street from my house. A guy came into the store with a picture of a pool that was slimy green, that he was reopening. So I overhear the...

Our 30 year old pool was in serious need of a renovation. Here are some old pictures... You can see the old tile and coping on a stamped concrete deck. You can somewhat see the old hot tub area that we never used. The plaster had a couple popups and overall discoloration in places...

I've had this blue pearl for 2 years and it ran well last week. Well yesterday I put the cleaner in the pool and hit the green start button and nothing happened. The green light illuminated for about 3 seconds then cut off. Subsequent button pushes all same result. Green light cut's off after...

I use to have a Nautilus 48 DE filter but it started to corrode when I went to a SWG. So I replaced it with a Hayward DE 48 (4820). My old Nautilus use to get pressure around 20 psi and I would backwash at 30 psi. This filter goes up to about 30 psi immediately and will go up to 40 psi after...

Recently added SWG and I'm wondering if it's more efficient (easier on the cell) to run the cell 24 hours a day at 50% or 12 hours/day at 100%? It seems to me that it would be the same but maybe someone else knows better. Also with the superchlorinate function it also seems that even though it...

I just installed the sytem 2 days ago and the LCD screen keeps showing 2700 which I presume is the salt level. I've tested the water with Aquachek test strips and it shows 3450ppm. What gives? The sytem also gave me an error alert that the level was low so I'm not sure what to think? I'm going...

I have a Hayward SWG (not yet installed) and I'm wondering what is the maximum FC output. I know there are many factors like pump capacity, flow rates, chlorine consumption, etc. but I'm looking for and approximation. I haven't seen anything in the literature.

The installer just left without installing my Hayward Swimpure system. He said that they were instructed 6 months ago not to install SWG's with stainless steel filters (I have a nautilus - 48). They have had many reported problems so he said. He said that I would have to replace the filter with...

I'm trying to figure this out. My Nautilus DE filter pressure keeps going up after several hours (5 hours). I've changed the DE grids to new. I've noticed by taking the filter apart that the Air Strainer on top usually gets very clogged with debris (pine needles, bugs, Crud, etc) Also the...
