Have you used it yet? How is it? I almost pulled the trigger last week when it was $330 off.

Support is not any better. I remember 13 years ago when we first got the pool there was at least someone you can talk to. Now they want to pawn you off to a pool builder for help. Furthermore if you are fortunate to finally get them to lodge an email case, the info is pretty elementary. They can...

Hello, I thought I would post this here for any DIYers that are trying to connect an older Hayward Control system (Mine was Aqua Plus) that has only 2 cables for the heater relay to a Hayward HP31005T Round Heat/Cool Heat Pump. The diagrams in the manual are very poor and my 5 yr old could...

oh one more thing.. hopefully this one lasts at least 13 years :-) Does anyone know what to do with the old one? Refurb it? throw it in the trash?

I ended up replacing the cell. One of the discrepancy I noted was the cell water temp was between 10-15 F difference from the pool temp. I have manually kicked off the cell a few times and no 0400/0500 PPM readings from it. Temp delta between thermostats about 3 F (normal as far as I have seen...

My Menu Button on the local display is no longer functioning. I operate things via the AquaPod. However the AquaPod does not have all the options that is listed in your link. From AquaPod Test 1 -29.12V -1.95A 60F 0600PPM while Test 1 is running, if I initiate the Test again in Diagnostic...

still doesn't explain the huge swing. assuming we are correct on the salt readings.. what do you think we are looking at.

Yep. Pool store checked it for me. I'm sitting around 3K.

Hello, just opened the pool last week. I have a T Cell 15. Not sure if I am experiencing an old T Cell that needs replacement or something else. The T Cell is 13 years old. Operated fine last season. I don't normally set chlorination more than 10 percent and it has served us well through the...

Hello, I have my cover on and have not winterized yet. I left the pool cover on and noticed a week later that I had lost water to below the skimmer. Filled it back up and had it run off the main drain only and i might have lost .01 CM at best in 24 hours... but when I redirected the flow to...

I'm using shock pack... my CYA is barely moving though. I had no idea that there was a cause and effect with CYA?

Good news this morning is FC is still holding at 10+ there was a bunch of brown residue on the floor that I can only assume is dead algae or could it be oak pollen since we had lots of strong winds overnight and a bunch of oak "droppings" got in the pool. Either way it has been vacuumed up. Was...

Yep!! i put in a double dose of shock at 5pm this evening. I checked it at 10 pm and it appears to be holding. I just put another dose for good measure. I had to backwash the filter before the good measure dose. The phosfree had basically caused water flow to a crawl (which i was told by...

Hi Pooldv... you are right something is consuming the chlorine. I have my cell running at 30% now and I shocked the pool this morning at around 10 am and the FC is down to about 1.0... but it was about 10.0 earlier. What should I do now?

The shock I put in has not put the FC off the charts... so I think that is working. I have increased the percentage of the SWG as well. Unfortunately the phosfree is already in the system. I will leave it in there for at least 24 hours before backwashing it out.

CYA 70 Total Chlorine 0.3 FC 0 PH 8.4 (I suspect the increase because of the slight haze. I have put in some muriatic acid to help bring it down) total alkaminity 95 Hardiness 205 Salt 3000 Is it possible I just don't have the SWG running long enough? A bit of history... in the last few seasons...

Hello, This is my firth season and for the first time I am having issue holding free chlorine. I believe my SWG is working it has the following readings "26.57v 6.62a 74F 3000PPM" and I see the bubbles in the pool. The pool has been opened now for about a month and I started noticing there was...

With the fountain running during the day, with the hot sun beating on the pool, would the pool pump just help circulate the heat/hot water evenly in the pool?

Hello, I am trying to help cool down our pool with the use of fountains. Do i run it 24 hours a day? or Do I run it only in the evening when the temp is lower. I have read and heard conflicting info about this. I run my pool pump 24 hours a day which helps keep the pool cleam via the skimmer...

Yeah... hayward doesn't make any laminars, which made it kind of hard to get the same brand. I need to check how the installer connected the lights. both manuals say if they are connected on the same power source and if they are compatible it will sync... that is the issue how to know if they...

Hello - does anyone know if it would be possible to sync my Fiberstar Laminars with my Hayward Colorlogic 4.0? I have not been able to find anything online on this. Thanks

any brands you know to recommend?.. I have heard bad things about coverstar.

We use the Hayward Heatpro 21104T. It works great except Hayward replaced it last year under warranty because of a bad condensor. So far no issues since then. It cost us during the pool install 3K to put it in.

That seems kind of high. We bought the Hayward Heatpro HP21104T, the builder charged us 3k installed since the electrician was not making a special trip. Given that you are doing it after the fact, you can still figure out the cost. Do some research and see how much the unit cost without...

Thanks Harleysilo. I wonder if that the cleaning is primarily because yours was put in during the pool build versus an after market one. Hopefully there will be some folks that have put one in after the pool build that as some insight.

We put in an in ground Grecian about 2.5 years ago. Love it, just tired of the daily debris clean up! Seriously thinking about an automatic cover. Does anyone have any suggestions for : -Any Self Install/ DIY companies? -Reputable Brand if not a self install -Can it be put on the shallow end of...

I will have to do the full test tomorrow to see what the FC is. I have been eye balling it using the r0600 solution. That is how I came up with the 5.0 level.
