I measured it with the kit I bought from TFP store and cross referenced it w pinch-a-penny. Mine seems to read a bit higher than PAP, but within 200ppm

Good afternoon. I moved into a house w a 10k concrete pool in Florida with a Hayward Aquatrol chlorinator. I have replaced the cell, as it was ‘bad’ according to the pool store. Replacement model GLX-cell-5. I have had trouble with the unit shutting down due to ‘low’ salt. The unit reads 2000...

Thank you for your reply. Im sorry, I don’t know what the fireman switch is. I noticed, too, that the automation system is not in my signature. I will update. It is the Hayward pro logic system with remote. It sounds to me that I may need a Hayward verifified service call. The things it is...

Hello folks, I noticed the other day that my pool heater is coming on with every cycle. Interesting the remote does not reflect it, when the heat is on, the remote show it off mostly. At one point the remote showed it calling for 65, the pool running, and the temp over 80, and the heater...

Thank you for your replies!

My polaris 280 has become unreliable. It doesn't clean the entire pool, wandering in the same circle leaving significant amount of debris at one end of the pool. The hose is frequently tangled leaving it sitting in one place. it has laid on its side spinning in circles. The inline filter is...

thank you for your reply, A! I will not be doing a water exchange. Without a known, ongoing infiltration of metals, wouldn't one round of sequestrate be enough? My pH is always riding high, around 7.8, requiring weekly acid additions. Will bringing my TA back in line reduce that need. I...

Thank you

Hello, I have had a fairly large stain on the bottom of my pool for several years. I have always suspected that it was iron and have used the vitamin C tablet test a couple of times. It never gets bigger or brushes of, but it is somewhat unsightly and I am ready to get rid of it. I do not...

Thank you, pool clown. Will that mean I need a new light as I don't think there will be that much cable to utilize for the repositioning.

Thank you for your replies, but would like to resurrect my query. I have just had a company come to repair the leak in the light niche. However, I return home to find the same volume of water pouring out of the control box as before. They want to come back and do exactly what you are saying...

I discovered 2 unrelated problems today. 1. I found water trickling up through the electrical conduit from my spa light into the control panel. 2. I found (actually I had some prior knowledge that it was acting up) my return automated actuator not working, and upon investigating, there is...

Thank you for your replies!

Thanks for your reply! Chip it out, huh? That sounds intimidating. My construction is bonded/grounded. In the short term, while it is exposed, does the exposed rebar pose any electrical risk?

While power washing, I uncovered this little number. It is a piece of the rebar that is WAY too close to the surface. I believe it contributed to some iron staining in the area of the pool closest to it. Can someone tell me the best way to "fix" it, and does the exposed structure pose any...

Resolution. (after cutting the power) I Opened the back of the pump to find what looked like a fried connection with a poor moth attached. I detached the pump and brought it to the local store for a bench test. The moth, I Determined straight away, was a goner, but the pump ran with no need to...

I went out and noticed that my spa volume had fallen. This happens to me periodically so I tried to turn the pump on to recirculate and fill the spa. CLICK...no pump movement. I tried the booster and it works fine. I tripped and reset the plug attached to my control unit, and...

Thank you folks! Richard , Thank you. i am going to confirm once more with a larger dose of the vitamin c. I am going to fill a sock full of crushed tablets and sit it on the stain. All of those causes you mentioned seem implausible. Are there other ways that I could be seeing metals, or...

It took me a few days to accomplish, but it appears as though the Vitamin C tablet DID remove the stain where I rubbed it. As I indicated, the pictures are difficult to see, but you can jus make out the shadow of the blotchy stain.

For a better part of the summer I have had a mystery stain in a 4x6 area of the pool. the stain is faint, blotchy, green to tan in color and climbs the corners up onto the wall. I'd have said that it hasn't spread or changed at all, but i am now noticing a small similar stain in another...

Given the lack of response, I reluctantly called Hayward. With no discussion, tech support indicated I need a brand new antenna. While the pro logic system is covered under a 3 year warranty "accessories" like the aquapod and its separate antenna are only covered for 1 year. Too bad...

I've had the pool for over a year and had little trouble with the remote. Today I notice the "base is not responding". I did a soft reset on the remote and consulted the manual for re-teaching to the base. Although this has never affected it before, we had a momentary loss of power yesterday...

There is a check valve. It's a little thing with a window on it, right? The builder was there today, but being out of town we haven't touch base yet. When I turned the pool on yesterday the spa filled right back up, and continues now. Thank you

Crazy thing. I woke this morning to find that my spa had drained more than half way. The pool over flow was functioning as well. The pad showed no evidence of leak. We run the hayward automated system and at night, it switches to spa and shuts off. My mechanics in pool mode drain from the...

I chlorinate with bleach, not trichlor. My CYA has run about 40 all summer. Today I test it (new reagent) and find it to be almost undetectable. I went to the Pool Store to verify, and they confirm Another barely related question: I have done some of the reading on the loss of strength over...

I got distracted from my new pool and inadvertently let the chlorine get to 1, with 0.5 cc, and pH 7.8. :sleep: I have been diligent about keeping pH and TC in range since it was installed in the spring. How bad have I fouled up? :hammer: In response I added 374 oz of Chlorine to get to...

Thank-you, Dave. I found the more extensive instructions posted here by Jason. they were a lot of help, there is a link to Taylor with pictures. Not sure whether or not I should start a new post, but here are my numbers after my "start-up" Procedures. Temp 78 TC 3 FC 3 CC 0 pH 7.8 TA 60-70...

Yes this is a brand new pool. And I am a pool newbie. After 4 doses of about 28 oz of MA the pH popped and is now in range. I am anxious to give y'all the results of my tests if I could actually get them for you. Thanks for the 10 ml sample instruction, I will use it this morning. Now...
