I recently replaced my Pool Pilot Digital cell (due to low amps). I cleaned the tri-sensors when I cleaned the old cell (before determining it needed replacement) and i've repeatedly tested the salt levels manually (which is just shy of 3000 ppm). The Pool Pilot continuously says that the salt...

I have 2 lights in my pool/spa and both no longer work so I need to replace the bulbs, at the very least. I pulled the one in the spa out to have a look. The lens says "American Products, Los Angeles". The housing doesn't have any markings. I removed the metal mounting ring from the...

We replaced our often leaky solar panels last year w/ newer and more efficient panels. When we replaced them, we also had to replace a bunch of metal roof tiles because the salt/chlorine did some extensive damage to them. Anyhow, for the second time this summer a panel is leaking (actually...

I'm curious, since I have an Aquabot Turbo T-Jet that filters the pool water (~5000 gallons per hour), I could remove its filter bag so it's strictly circulating the AA. So in theory, I could treat my 13k pool in about 3 hours rather than running filter for 24 hours. Is there a reason I should...

My last cell and cord became burnt/rusted so I replaced them both. After installing the replacements and going into the "installer menu" to "replace cell" the digital display says that the purifier is "off" and it's set to 1%. I cannot raise it by pressing the "up" arrow. Why? I can place it...

I have a Pool Pilot Digital (SC-36 cell) that no longer appears to be producing chlorine. I've had my water tested several times and the chlorine is at or near 0 even a few days after shocking the pool. CYA is 60, pH is 6.7, salt 3000. Other chemicals were all withing normal ranges (similar...

I have a fiberglass pool surface & Pool Pilot chlorine generator (approx. 13k gallons). About a month ago I noticed a few spots of rust on the pool steps and at the bottom of the spa. The rust appears in small circles and is a dark orange. I've had success removing the spots with a vitamin C...

I'm still torn between the Jandy CS-250 (250 sq ft) and a Sta-rite S7M400 (400 sq ft). The Jandy is about $300 less, would be easier for me to install (existing filter location is perfect), the replacement cartridges are about 25% of the Sta-rite (and I like to swap between 2 filters during...

Curious if any of the so-called cartridge cleaning gadgets are worth the money. I had bought the "Water Wand" a number of years ago and it was so awful (poorly constructed, leaked from multiple points) and I returned it. I've seen other gadgets such as the "Filter Flosser", "Pool Filter...

We have a 13,000 gallon irregularly shaped pool which has an estimated surface area of 332 sq ft. FWIW, the pump is 1.5 HP, The current Mitra filter is ancient and is specified for 100 sq ft. I see that most filters are specified by sq ft so I'm not sure why the original owner installed such a...
