After thinking about the issues I've had with the thermistor on my Hayward SWG and researching on the forum and google...I came across a mention about an external thermistor. Hmmmm.... So that got me thinking. What if you could solder a couple of leads from the pin where each leg of the...

Hi all - After a good 5 years of life, my T9 cell finally bit the dust earlier this year. The cell was giving salt readings apparently well below what they actually were. The display would show something like 1500 ppm. So like I've done before each season, I added some salt to the pool...

When I first bought my house, I bought 8 cheap fiberglass chaise lounges. I found that was way too many - and they didn’t last more than a handful of seasons before they broke or got dirty past the point of no return. So I tossed them out and ordered 4 fancier rattan lounges with cushions...

Hey guys, been a while since I've posted here. I bet there's a lot of activity lately from people trying to get their pools ready for the season (like me)! Let's start with my sand filter. Over the winter, I noticed a small trickle leak around the plastic clamp on my sand filter. It was very...

Aqua Rite SWCG not producing chlorine/no lights - "Current Limiter" question... So a couple of months ago, my SWCG quit producing chlorine, but all my lights were working. So I cleaned the salt cell, and after a year of use - it was still pretty spotless. Nothing happened. So I kept...

Ok, here's my situation - I had a Pentair SAM light that went out last summer, and I waited till this season to replace the bulb. I replaced the bulbs, but the GFCI breaker kept tripping when I put everything back together. There was no water in the light whatsoever (I never put it back in the...

I have been looking and looking. And maybe its just my novice electrician skills, but I have yet to find a simple, digital timer that controls both the main pump, and has a separate programming feature for the booster pump. I've seen the Intermatic one that has two units in one box, but that's...
