Here is the latest. Pump lid ended up not helping with the noise. So friday evening the noise was pretty quiet, water level was low and below second screw on skimmer door. I added some water up to the screw, still mostly quiet. I vacuumed and backwashed saturday and the noise was bad...

I thought I almost had it figured out. I swapped a lid from an old pump and made sure the new gasket was seated well. Noise is definitely less, but still there. Going to really lube it and try again. Also seeing if I can track down another pump from a friend and do a complete swap. If I get...

Thanks for the replies. The sound is the video is exactly the same as what Im experiencing. Yes as pressure gets above 15 the noise starts to go away. When it hits 20, no noise. Also if I close skimmer valves and bottom drain valve about 3/4 it will quiet down but then that is hard on the...

Yes all gaskets lubed. I'm completely out of ideas.

Also all new seals in pump. The only time I've heard it stop is when pressure hits 20 which is not ideal.

Very frustrating. All new PVC plumbing, new multiport valve and the crackling noise remains. No bubbles in basket or out of the returns. Have bled air from sand filter numerous times. Have dialed back valves for two skimmers and bottom drain. It won't go away. Pool company says it's normal...

Yes exit end. The flow control switch was connected to this end and then out to returns.

Yep it's on the white plastic portion of where the water exits. Titanium looks good and clean when looking directly through the cell. Also why I suspect no bubbling because the plates are clean. Again just build up in white plastic where water exits so hopefully no issue. I got most of it off...

and just want to clarify this is at the non corded end that goes to the flow control sensor. The plates at the corded end look perfect and I can look clearly through the cell until this minor buildup at the end of the plates. I just dont get why the acid didnt do anything to break it up. Maybe...

Yes it's a hard white buildup. Plates are white also.

Cell worked great all year. Closed the pool and saw mineral buildup on non cord end. Did the muriatic acid clean recommended by Hayward YouTube video. However the cell never bubbled and buildup remains. The cells on corded end look great and never had any build up. I let it soak no bubbles so...

I got it. Like mentioned all plumbing and drain plugs needed put back on. Compressor to pump and air started flowing. I'm now closed up. Last question do I take the skimmer doors off? Thanks!

Sure. Here is a link to the plumbing. Shared album - Phil Hess - Google Photos Where the far black plug is located goes to the returns. Close black plug goes to the skimmers. Hooking up shop vac in those two spots was not enough, I eventually did get the skimmers to blow mist. I do have...

Im wondering if I should not have disconnected my salt cell, pump drain plugs, and filter drain plugs BEFORE trying to blow out the lines? Where Im connecting the shop vac to the lines happens before the pump and filter, so it doesnt appear they are involved, but maybe could be causing not...

Hello, This past weekend I started closing my pool. I brought the water level down and disconnected my salt cell and pulled drain plugs on filter and pump. I took my 5.5hp shop vac and reversed it to blow out the skimmers first. I put a gizmo with blowout value in the 2 skimmers. Initially I...

My rebuilt Heyward ran great all summer. Id go with that over generic.

I ordered a rebuilt cell from salt solutions, with 1 year non prorated warranty genuine Hayward parts, and it has fixed my low salt reading issue. Working great. $295 shipped and send your old cell back.

Cell was the issue. Bought a rebuilt from salt solutions and it's working great. 1 year warranty genuine Hayward parts for $295

I did verify the cell making chlorine with the bucket test and triggering flow. So the question is the low instant salt reading, is it caused by the cell or the control panel. I'm trying to get another cell to test with. Any other suggestions?

Hello, For the last two weeks my Aqua Rite has been showing low salt readings. I have done the recalibrate over and over. The instant reading is always in the 1000's. Of course I added salt without a test, now the salt is high 4500 range. I did a partial drain. Ive been tricking the system...

after the water temp came up and I did the bucket test of my cell, I saw it was indeed producing chlorine. Now a month later I think its about done. Salt levels have been reading way low and I get no generation with the bucket test. Cell current levels seem low around 2.5 also. Now I have...

I have not went with any kind of replacement yet because my water is too cold. From the manual it states it shuts down with water temp 50 degrees and below, also chlorine generation is limited to 20% when water is 60 degrees and below. My current water temp is 58 degrees. So Ill be waiting...

Im also checking with salt solutions as mentioned above. You can get a repaired TCELL 15 for $275 and you ship back your non working cell. Im asking about the warranty on the repaired cell. Warranty is 1 year, non prorated.

I just came across this post as Im in the same situation... I think. Just opened pool last weekend, salt cell was cleaned over the winter by my local place. Initial reading was low around 1800 and I added some salt to get up to 3000. I cant get any chlorine reading on test strips. Had water...

Hello, Last year I had a new liner installed and the only thing the company could not get is the screw cover trim around the steps. Most people dont notice its not there, but Id like to find some. I have been reading that RV places seem to sell it and I see some that might work. I have...
