Hey All - turned power off to the timer to service filters. Switched power back on and no display on the timer. I’ve traced power to the unit, that appears to be fine. FYI, there’s an in-line kill switch before the timer. That’s how I turn off/on power to the timer when necessary. Any...

Thank you again! Appreciate the feedback. My pool is ~17.5k gallons and I have to run the cell at 100% most of the time in the summer, 6-8hrs of pump time/day. I think that the challenge for these is amount of chlorine produced. I'm still a little torn on what to do. Am going to look deeper...

Thanks, Dodger. Did you keep your 1400? If the cell is toast then that will be the 3rd in less than 6 years.

So this happened. Not really sure where to begin troubleshooting. Maybe start with replacing the power cord?

I've been wondering the same thing lately. At 3 years and 1 month my cell died, was able to get it covered through warranty. Flow sensor just died, $240 seems to be the running price. Pools is coming up on 4yrs old in May. Ping, can you please elaborate on: -- "depending on...how often the...

14 psi is where i'm at after a filter cleaning (and some tapping on the front of gauge). Any thoughts on more troubleshooting?

Awesome! You're spot on with your assessment and I couldn't agree more. With our water now properly balanced, the SWG is performing like it should and the pool is wonderful. (oh, yeah and it helps that my filters are white again ;) ) This is indeed a great forum!

Used a brass sweeper nozzle (Amazon and HD have them). Placed the filter on top of an inverted 5 gallon bucket and sprayed top to bottom in sections, rotating the filter. Problem now is that my lawn is going to think that i want it to grow... OK, it's never risen above 10 psi, will look into that.

Yah, i was pretty disgusted. Even the pool guy was like "wow, i'm surprised your pool looks so clean!" (he stopped by when i was in the middle of this). Question, how long on average do these filters last?

I'll double check tomorrow, but psi is around 8-10. Regarding flow, I have a question: is it ok to run the pump on High Speed with the valve fully turned to the suction side (no skimmer)? When i'm on Skimmer only, Low Speed, flow is great. When I switch to Suction only, flow decreases. This was...

We recently added a Pentair Rebel suction side cleaner to our in-ground pool. I noticed that the little guy wasn't moving as well this weekend and would fall down just shortly after starting up the wall. I decided to get out the gauge that comes with the kit and found that i now needed about 50%...

Thought i would share a little fun i had today. You see, the last pool guy that i had said that we should clean the filters when the pressure gauge starts to rise...:confused:, no need to do it more than that. After a series of dramatic events, we found a new pool guy :D. The new pool guy...

Just found this thread, will check out the suggestions found here pool pump makes humming noise and does not pump

Hi All! We have just over a 2 year old pool. I Noticed this afternoon that my pump wasn't running, so I went out to see what' was going on. I found that the circuit breaker had tripped and proceeded to reset. This was about half way through the daily timer job, so the timer kicked back on and...

mrdgvb1, What do you reccomend for a Pebble Fina finish?

Talked with the local PT rep and he confirmed the breakdown of the categories. Also mentioned that the FinestFinish products are a private label for premier pools, may or may not be so. Either way thanks for your help!

thanks for the responses gents! Any thoughts on the UWC FinestFinish products? http://www.finestfinishpools.com/products.html

Hey Guys, Last week we received cities approval for our permit and hope to start the build within the next week or so. Question for you regarding interior finish, I've searched through the site and read all that I can find regarding the two products in subject line and am still not feeling...

Great input fellas, thank you! - classic, rectangular shape - baja bench would be great - diving board not an option in our city - maintenance is no issue - salt is almost a must, have girls with long hair that gets destroyed in standard pools - sport pool design - I'm 6'2" and am concerned...

Hi Guys, I tried several times to search on this as I'm sure it's been discussed, sorry if I missed it! We're planning to have a new pool installed and had been working with 3 builders on concrete setups until I started to read about the potential of salt corroding plaster faster and reducing...

We've thought about heat, but are not sure that the budget will allow right now. Am hopeful that if I'm diligent with the solar blanket that we will be able to make good use of it. Thanks for the offer on looking over the bids, is there a better way to post those? Never know if the pool...

Hi Guys! Recently moved from Seattle to San Diego and are looking at installing a new pool in our backyard. I've met with 4 local pool builders, removed one right from the beginning based upon personality and am working on getting numbers from the other 3. We've decided that we're not going...
