I have the aquarite

I have a Hayward Gold Line Salt Water Generator, 7 years old. 2 years ago my Hayward Cell went out; I was not able to replace it so I went with a generic cell from Salt Pool Store, this cell lasted 1 season 4-6 months and then my display read "hot" even after cleaning the cell. I sent the cell...

I like this idea of installing a valve, seems the most cost effective, will this not put undo strain on the pump?

My only thoughts are sticking with the same brand it looks about the same size and plumbing is in all the right spots, I assume if I switch brands this may require some plumbing work etc?

I've been looking at those, wanted to stick with the Sta -Rite if could, looks like their variable is 1-3 HP

I forgot to mention we had a little accident with the pool pump this fall and it came on after my pool was closed and the pump ran dry for 8 hours, it's probably toast.

My pool pump quit about 2 years ago and I replaced it with what I thought was the same HP pump, but the water coming out of the eyes is ridiculous. You literally can not sit/stand in front of them as it blasts out of them, almost like being in a hot tub. My original pump was a Sta-Rite Max E...

That's my thoughts too, I will be getting a new pump next season, hopefully that will fix it!

Pressure is about 25, see my response about my pump the flow is very strong with this new pump, to the point of ridiculous.

I do not have a main drain that is a side suction vacuum drain, that I do not use and have it shut off. I corrected my signature, that was not my pump, I actually have a 1 1/2 HP Pentair Stay Rite Max E Pro. But let's talk about that. That is a new pump I got last year same HP as the ole one...

Is the impeller inside the round housing with the metal band, any easy way to get to that?

Water level is about 3/4 of the way up the skimmer where I usually keep it. No big, hit me with them because I agree it may be something easy

When I turn the pump on the weir drop doors, checked it by hand and it is not sticky

Here are the requested pics of my equipment

I have not been able to find a pressure release valve anywhere, but I agree about the air, sometimes a lot of air blows out of the water return valves when I first turn the pump on.

Recently my skimmer has started what I call "burp back". Sometimes when my pool pump turns off a large amount of air and water come blowing out of my skimmer to the point that it blows the lid off the skimmer. This of course is not ideal as it also blows the contents of the skimmer back into...

:party: Just wanted to post in and tell you all thank you so much for your help! 2 weeks ago my pool was a green swampy mess, today it is crystal-sparkling clear. It's so clear then when under water you can see a grain of sand on the other side of the pool. You all are amazing and your help...

Update on the status of my water... Today we returned home from our weekend trip, prior to leaving I elevated the FC level to 20, today my water was mostly clear with green sediment covering the bottom. We vacuumed the sediment off the bottom, backwashed the filter, and drained out the...

An additional question??? My family and I will be leaving Friday night and not getting home until Sunday afternoon. Should I leave a couple of pucks in the skimmer for Saturday's dose of chlorine???

Thank you guys so much! I've printed the article and I'm off and running... My numbers this morning were... FC 19 CC 0.5 pH 7.5 I think I'm on my way to correction...and to the store to get some more bleach for this evenings recheck :party:

Received TF 100; Here we go... Received my TF 100 today. Just to recap...my pool has had algae, bloom after algae bloom all summer, as soon as I get it somewhat cleared and start vacumming the remaining algae off the bottom I start the whole process over again...so here are my numbers... FC -...

Well now when I say it's blowing stuff back out I'm just assuming, I don't actually see it blowing back out; it's that we vacuum it all back up and by the next 24 hours the green sediment has returned...my filter is a sand filter and I changed the sand this year...

New to the forum; posted my introduction in that section but I wanted to go ahead and get started... Okay, I've ordered my test kit but I have some new Walmart Test Strips and wanted to go ahead and post those readings so I can at least get started.... My above ground pool is 5 years old, I...
