    Failing Hayward T-15 cell

    Good morning everyone. I am just posting to confirm that which I have read through various posts. I have a Hayward T-15 swimpureplus. The serial number says it was made in 2016, however installed 04/17. This season, I am getting notoriously lower salt readings from the controller. I know...

    Looking for clarity on SWG % vs runtime

    Simple Variable vs 2 speed pump question

    I have a quick question on Variable vs 2-speed. I currently have a whisperflow pump WFE-6(with a rather oversized 1.5/1.47 SF = 2.2HP motor on it for my pool) and am looking to either jump into a Variable or 2-speed replacement (modestly sized for my smaller pool). I have two motors I am...
