you have been awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time with me.

Got it, I was reading this wrong. So the proper sized impeller or a downsized on will not affect the motor or it's efficiency rating? I also need a different water slinger?

So upsizing the impeller on a 3/4 to a 1HP rated impeller (SP2605C) will not overload the motor or cause any issues? If I can upsize the impeller without any issues, that's what I will do I did look and the S224T sand filter is only rated for 62 GPM and the 3/4HP motor is rated between 50-60...

I only have 1, but a lot of water to turn over 18x36 23,00 Gallon pool.

So I am correct in that my current motor is a little too large? I do have a 23K gallon 18x36 pool so I am hesitant on going too low, but I do like where you are going with sizing down and saving electricity. The .75HP Pump consumes @ 5.3 AMPS (230V) vs 1HP @ 5.5AMPS (230V); not much difference...

I have a Hayward SuperPump SP2610X15 that was running a non-original motor (Century B129) that has finally gave up on me. I am not faced with a decision on what motor to replace it with as I believe that it was too big for my SuperPump which I would assume came with a 1.5 HP with a SF of 1.0...

So as long as the S/N shows a 3 in the first character, it has a 3 year warranty (regardless of where is is purchased)? I did find this and I wanted to know if this is truly believable. https://www.totallyhayward.com/pdfs/authorized_online_sellers_table.pdf I can see why members would go to...

I have an OEM Salt Cell that is losing polarity on one side as the readings are almost none and then reading normally on the other side. So I believe that I am needing a new cell and not sure how much longer this one will last. Things have changed so much since I purchased my last cell (2018)...

I will say that I've have provided plenty of cord unrestricted and the other locations it missed were in the center. Could I have not gotten the correct robot or something is wrong in its calculations? I purchased it on the advice of Marina when I described my pool and size to them.

Is it normal for the Dolphin Active 20 to completely miss (undisturbed floor areas) during a cleaning cycle? My new cleaner has glaring spots it has missed on mutiple occasions; even the same corner in my deep end several different times.

I was able to get in touch with Marina today and my Active 20 is on the way. After 6 years of manually cleaning my pool, I never thought I would buy a pool cleaner; cheers to me!

Regarding that, I read that a few years ago Hayward would only honor the full warranty (3 years) if it was purchased from (& perhaps installed by) an authorized retailer. Would I get the full 3 year warranty if i purchased it from an online retailer such as Amazon?

The S/N begins with: 3E13 When i recorded those numbers (3-4 minutes apart), i watched as the numbers dropped and recored the number once it quit moving (after about 30 seconds). I did clean it with the stand in water/acid, plug side up, for about 5 minutes. I could clean it again with a...

I dont have that salt test kit you referenced yet, but i did run the numbers on the panel as you suggested. I got -2800 the first time and -1900 after a 3 minute cycle. It seems that it has already failed the 2nd test (meaning that the cell is going bad)? Also, will a test of my salt cell at...

I have a Hayward\Goldine TurboCell T-15 that is approaching 5 years of age and I never close my pool. Due to the heavy rains, I have lowered the water a lot lately and added 3 bags of Salt to account for the water loss. I have tested the salt with strips around 3000 consistently sampling the...

I haven't done a CYA test in about a month and when I did I noticed that it was lower than 30 (it was 60). Initially I thought I had a false reading and retried the test with the same results. Upon reading here about people loosing CYA when they have a FC level of 0, it occurred to me that...

The replacement board came in and she's back in business. I was so quick to blame the cell and if I would have pulled the board complelely out first, the answer would have been exposed. Thanks to everyone for the guidance!

Yep, that's what I figured I needed and I just ordered it. The burn mark is directly under that switch\relay on top of the board. Even though my board is an older (green) model, the newer one is blue and Hayward stated it was backward compatible; which I hope it works with my older display...

New Update: Here are pictures of the board and I do not believe that it is repairable. When I spoke to Hayward to tell them about the burnt area on the back of the main board, they gave me the part number GLX-PCB-RITE and stated that board with that part number will work with my SWG, even if...

UPDATE: I took the cell to Leslie's Pool Suplies and it passed the test. So that only leaves the board as the culprit, right? Last year I replaced the current limiter on the board since It was giving symptoms described in these forums (limited lights and display problems). However I'm not...

I do not see any calcium on the plates, they look fine to me. I pulled it out last time the inspect cell came on (3 months ago) and it looked the same, so I did not give it the diluted muratic acid treatment. I can post a picture of it if it helps (I have it with me). I have been running it 8...

I have been running it at 40% and only turned it up to trigger the cell to attempt to produce Chlorine. My CYA is at 50 as I've slowly bring it up. I did speak to Hayward yesterday and they suggested taking the cell to Leslies' Pool to see if it is defective, the warranty replacement didn't...

I have an Aquarite T-15 Salt Cell that is showing some signs of failure. It give a current active salt reading of - 0 and the average is 2500 (was 3000 2 days ago). The temp does appear to be working (it fluctuates when water passes thru it), the readings do not change when the panel 'clicks'...

Yeah, it's really small; which was why I thought about patching from the back of the liner. I just want to make sure I was doing the right thing. I'll cut the patch down more and get it on there. The adhesive is for vinyl liners.

It is hardly noticeable. I cut a piece trying not to utilize any more of the spare liner than necessary, so I have about .75" on one side of the cut and 2" on the other; Am I risking future problems by being too conservative with the spare liner? The cut looks as if it is not under stress; I...

I do still have the original liner pattern I can use to match. I was just trying to keep it unnoticeable as it's still pretty new. Outside of the looks, is the hole going to affect the life expectancy of the liner?

I noticed today that have very small cut in my pool liner the size of a small child's fingernail clipping. It is above the waterline on a liner that is less than 2 years old. Given the age, I assume its not from dry rot and the kids somehow cut it it with a toy. Given the size is so small...

Thank you so much for the extremely detailed answers. I believe this has helped me tremendously in knowing how to address the issue.

So I have a few questions so that I can prepare myself with knowledge. When copper appears on the surfaces, is the copper physically on wall or is that just the result of the chemical reaction? For example, after the pool store read zero, I did scrub a lot of the green stuff off and it...

My Taylor K-1730 came in today and I tested the water and I was between .05 & .15ppm. I'm not exactly sure what that means other than there is some copper present; does it mean that more could be present? Thanks
