Within the last 4 days my approximately 2 year old iChlor 30 stopped producing chlorine. The SALT and CELL lights are flashing red and the FLOW light is flashing green. The OUTPUT screen is displaying "FLO". When I go into diagnostics mode I am able to read the Total Cell Hours (1,950) and...

Hi all. The PH of my recently renovated (9 months ago) in ground pebble finish SWG pool consistently creeps above 8 within 24 to 36 hours after lowering to 7.5. The water looks great and the surface of the pool is clean. Here are my numbers as of this morning: FC - 4 PH - 8.2 TA - 60 CH...

I recently (November 8, 2016) purchased a new home with a pool and due to the time requirements of an ongoing home renovation I just today finally had time to check the water chemistry. It's a 21,000 gallon rectangular in-ground plaster pool with no spa and no water feature. Here are the...

Does anybody know how to program Aqua Rite PS 8 so that the timer can run the filter in spillover mode for an hour and then run in pool only mode for the rest of the program? I can only figure out how to do one or the other in configuration menu. Thanks.

I have a pool and spa (elevated) combo with one pump and filter for both the pool and the spa. The water has consistently sparkled and I have had zero issues for the past year or or so thanks to TFP. For the past three years (since I acquired my home) I have been running the SWCG with the...

I have an 18,000 gallon pool with spa and installed a new DE filter (Hayward DE6020) yesterday in place of my broken sand filter. When I first started up the filter before adding DE, the pressure was reading 15 psi and after adding 8 pounds of DE (the filter calls for 7.5 pounds) through the...

I have an 18,000 gallon salt water pool/spa that has a cracked Hayward S311SXV sand filter (side mount) that I need to replace as soon as possible. According to Hayward, this filter has an effective filtration area of 4.95 ft. and a design flow rate of 99 GPM. I would potentially like to...

Does anybody know how many drops (on average) are in either the .75 oz or 2 oz bottle? I am getting ready to shock and want to get an understanding of how much reagent I might need when I am using 48 drops every time I check FC levels over the multiple days I will need to test. I want to make...

I just noticed over the last two days that I have what look like several areas where algae is taking hold. I am going out of town for 10 days starting on Thursday so I only have about 48 hours to treat. Should I do what I can over that period or just wait until I get back in town? Numbers...

My pump motor is about 6 years old and I have owned the house and pool for a little over 1 year. Until about 3 weeks ago the pump ran perfectly. About three weeks ago it tripped the breaker (240V) and started working immediately once I reset the breaker. The pump ran normally for another week...

It looks like I may have ordered the wrong Taylor reagent as a refill for my PH test. I have the k-1005 kit which uses R-0014 and I accidentally ordered R-0004. Can anybody tell me the difference and whether they are interchangeable? Thanks.

Hello everybody. I am new to TFP and relatively new to pool ownership. I have found this site to be very helpful and have recently gone through the shock process to eliminate algae from my pool. I am now working on getting everything in balance and ready for the swim season. I have an...
