    Poolvergnuegen PoolCleaner performance question...

    Hello! I have an older two-wheel model that, back in the day, would climb the walls when the filter was clean. Now, with a clean filter, plenty of hose to reach the far end of the shallow end, and having just gone through a rebuild with the tune-up kit, I never see it out of the deep end...

    Hayward Solar Controller GL-235 issues...

    Well, I'm stumped. After no problems for years, my solar controller won't auto engage the pump. In fact, it only works when I put it on "manual test." Even then, both the cooling and heating lights are on simultaneously. Confirmed that the nocturnal cooling jumper is in the disable position...

    Price to replace light fixture?...

    I need to have my light fixture replaced (Hayward), as it is corroded and leaking beyond repair. Can somebody give me a very general, ballpark range of what I should expect to pay to have it replaced? Thanks, Mike

    CompuPool output question...

    Hi everybody: Is the output % a percentage of time (as in cuts on for two minutes out of ten, if set at 20%)? Or, is it on all the time and just the actual output is controlled by the output setting? Thanks, Mike

    Solar heater won't turn off at preset temp...

    Hi everyone: I've not had any problems with my GL-235 Goldline control system until now. I have my pool set at 90, and for years, once that is satisfied, the Goldline tells my pump to shut off, and it has without fail, until now. For the past couple of days, it heats to 91 or even 92 and the...

    Question re: use of Sparkle Conquest...

    Last year, in order to eliminate some discoloration on the walls of my pool, somebody recommended Sparkle Conquest. I used it, and quite frankly the results were spectacular. More than a year later, I have the same discoloration in my walls. However, I have only recently learned what I was...

    How to fix this?...

    Hello: I inherited this issue when I bought the house. It leaks at a rate of about one drop every five seconds. The leak is somewhere between the two couplings. Is there a way to fix this, other than replacing the Jandy valve and starting over? It's kinda bothering me. Thanks!

    CompuPool CPSC sizing and other questions...

    Hello: I am studying my next upgrade, which will be to a SWCG. I have decided on the CompuPool CPSC series, but have a question about sizing and installation. I know that bigger is better (longer cell life etc), however I'm curious if too large a size will result in overproduction of...

    Physical size of this check valve?...

    Can anyone tell me the length of this check valve, from tip to tip? I want to plumb this in, and am trying to determine if I have enough room. It is a Jandy 7305 check valve, the 2 inch, straight model: http://www.bestbuypoolsupply.com/jandy- ... alves.html Thank you!

    Nightly bleach chores?...

    Hello all: I am a newbie at the BBB method, and just went thru Pool School. Great stuff! I have always had a problem keeping enough FC in the pool. FC reads just about "zero" all the time, even though I have my Rainbow chlorinator turned all the way up to the max. At my low flow rates, I'm...

    "Mystery" T--what is this thing?...

    Hello everybody: On my wish list to do is to install a SWG. However, I would need to remove the section of 1.5 inch pipe that includes my regular chlorinator, as well as a 4" T which goes into the ground, but appears to do nothing. I have no idea what it is for, what is was for, what it...

    Air bubbles do not cease when the solar is on

    I joined this forum just to ask this question on this topic. My first post! I just replaced my ancient 1.5 hp pump with a half horse pump (Pentair Challenger High Flow). Everything runs to exactly the specs that were predicted, i.e. flow rates, amperage draw! I'm quite please except for one...
