Have VGreen 165; about 7 years old. Motor does not respond to Stop button. Randomly stops on its own, then instantly starts again. This was an issue last year. Turning off circuit breaker; push buttons to clear any memory, and then turning it back on worked then, but not now. Looked into...

Need to replace bulb in unit whose information is described on attached image. If information is unclear, it reads: "American Products Co.; Model R-100BC, 12 Volt; Max Lamp Wattage-100; Type R-30. Wet Niche Type, Fresh Water Only; Use With Model CN-5 Fixture Housing." I haven't even the foggiest...

Wish to replace existing bulb (an older incandescent, flood) with one that is LED; white/soft white; or soft, light blue (not color changing). Have only a rudimentary idea (like voltage; no more than a 100 watts) what to look for when choosing a contemporary bulb that would be compatible with...

Have an AquaCal T115 heat pump. Did not run it during summer months. Getting ready to run it, but noticed the temperature on the display panel is about 10 degrees cooler than temperature on pool thermometer. Does this present an issue I need to consider before running the heat pump? Thanks.

Can't seem to find anyone, at least on the internet, that sells this item. Inyo says out of stock & no indication when they might be in stock. Anyone know of any other means to buy this item; just the interface, not the pump.

Am looking to add the VGreen 270 user interface (mounted off board) to exising VGreen 165 motor (user manual indicates this is possible), but cannot find any directions for how it should be wired anywhere on line, and, after three weeks, have not received a reply from Century. Anyone know of a...

I've a 10 year old Century V-Green 165 Variable Speed Motor that has worked magnificently until now. Motor does not stop when I push Stop button. Likewise, when the motor is running, and I push to Start button to stop the motor so I can clean filter, it does not stop. Haven't the foggiest idea...

About 2 years ago I replaced the original t-15 Aqua Rite cell after 5 years of use with a replacement cell from a company that refurbishes cells & sells them for quite a bit less than original equipment (see attachment).The display board indicates everything is functioning as it should except...

Been using TFP test kit for several years. No complaints. Been buying calcium, and stabilizer in bulk, on-line for use when needed. Buy muriatic acid from local family pool store, when needed. Use Pool Math to determine how much of what is needed. The past 6 months, or so, weekly readings have...

The tile around the coping (I think that's the right term) needs to be re-grouted. Haven't noticed any loose tile; all seem to be firmly in place, but the grout shows a great deal of wear. The pool is 25 years old and while it has recently been resurfaced (diamond brite), the coping is original...

Have AQR15. Voltmeter indicates power is getting to the main box, yet the Power LED is not on. No power is getting to cell. Replaced thermistor (AS32 2R025) and fuse (20 amp) about 5 months ago, and everything worked as it should (with invaluable help from TFP) until now. Am at a complete loss...

Test indicate power is getting to Aquarite Goldline AQR15, but LED on Display Board indicates no power. Test shows no electricity in red, black & orange wires between Main Display Board & terminals on the back of the box. The one yellow wire between the transformer & a terminal at the back of...

Following the directions for testing CH using the TF 100 Kit, I noticed that when I add the 3 drops of R-0011L to the 10 drops of R-0010, the water turns a sort of pale pink, as opposed to "red". When adding the drops of R-0012, the water turns a pale blue. Is this within the normal range of...

Have stainless steel ladder rails/treads that are experiencing rust at the holes the bolts go through to fasten the treads to the rails. I think the culprit is the bolts. If I remove the treads, and the nuts/bolts, then treat them with naval jelly to remove rust, then reinstall the treads, will...

Anyone have any experience with this? Not the in-line type, but the clamp type that gets attached to the part of the pool ladder that remains underwater. Ladder treads are have some rust. Thanks very much.

As I hope the attached photos illustrate: rust is beginning to appear at the point where the horizontal stainless steel steps are bolted onto the vertical railing. Naval jelly removed the rust from one of the steps I took out. Is there any sort of rust preventative product I should apply before...

Not having much success looking on-line for a simple floating (not attached to anything) blanket to cover our 15 X 30 in-ground pool. Aim is more to mitigate evaporation, than retain heat. We've a heat pump to warm up pool water during the day. Would like to just purchase whatever material is...

Which is more energy/cost efficient to heat pool in the long run: a heat recovery system or a heat pump? Thanks very much.

Wish to sell my AquaCal T115 heat pump. Was purchased new in 2018. Works as it should: no issues; no damage. We've decided we really don't need it after all. Was advised to post this message here. Am open to suggestions as to how I should proceed. Thanks very much.

Have Hayward Aqua-Rite 15. When checking diagnostic readings, this is what was displayed: before pushing the diagnostic button: the Average Salt Level reads 3.10. Upon pushing the diagnostic button to check each reading, the following is displayed: 1) No water temp is displayed; only the figure...

Have Century V-Green 165 variable speed motor; about 7 years old. Never had an issue until now. Motor randomly stops. When it does, red fault light blinks for about a minute, then motor resumes running at prime speed. Once past normal prime speed , motor runs at the speed for that step &...

SWG installed 4 years ago. Have kept cell clean, etc. according to schedule. If I added salt to bring reading up 3400 3 weeks ago, and today it reads 1700, what are the chances it's due to the cell ? Thanks. Henry

Wish to replace existing incandescent regular 100 watt bulb in underwater, inground pool light fixture with an appropriate LED bulb. The fixture or housing into which the bulb fits reads: "American Products Co.; Model R-100 BC, 12 Volt; Max Lamp Wattage-100, Type R-30. Wet Niche Fresh Water...

Have a variable speed pump motor with 3 settings. Doe it make any sense to have different settings for whatever I want the maximum, minimum, standard RPMs to be? If so, when would I set each? meaning would I want the maximum to be when the pump first comes on, or later, etc. OR: does it make...

Have Hayward AQR15 SWG & AquaCal TropiCal heat pump. At random times, with no particular pattern, the temp reading on the Hayward will read about 6 or 7 degrees higher than the temp reading on the heat pump or the thermometer in the pool. Stays that way anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Is...

Have used the TF 100 Test Kit for years, and trust its results. Never an issue until now. 1) CH test; adding R-0010 & R-0011L resulted in very light pink. Took 20 drops of R- 0012 to become a faint blue. Did test twice; same result. If this is accurate, it indicates my CH is about 500 ppm. How...

Have only swcg connected to line terminals on Intermatic 104. Pump is connected to load terminals. Pump has only duration & rpm settings. Wish both pump & swcg to be on/off at same time. Will it blow up the swcg if I also connect pump to same load terminals? Or . . . is it better to install a...

I've a Century V Green 165 VS motor and an Aquarite T-15 SWG. At present, the system runs 16 hours a day: 4 hours at 1850 rpm; 6 hours at 1600 rpm; and 6 hours at 1350 rpm. Am toying with the idea of running it 24/7. Some comments seem to indicate this is really unnecessary, inefficient, and may...

I've not taken my pool water to be tested at a pool store for many years. I use the T-100 kit, and have been met with excellent results. When I do need to buy chemicals, I look on line and come across a gahzillion sites, all having a variety of brand names. Anyone know of a any sites that are...

Like some of the other posts, I seem to be having a calibration issue, as well. I've a AQR15; installed new in 2015. The initial reading is at 2200. When I push the Diagnostic button 5 times it reads -3200. So I do the recalibration exercise & the initial reading then matches the recalibration...
