    Inyo after market t-15 replacement cell

    Does anyone here have any experience with this after market cell they are advertising? I like that it comes with a 2 year warranty and is a bit cheaper than OEM but I thought I would see if anyone else is using one. Let me know!

    New plaster GREEN pool

    So I am at a loss here. I have followed all instructions to a T since the new plaster on Monday afternoon. After the initial fill I added 4 gallons of acid to bring the PH way down as instructed and wait 3 days without the pump running. Yesterday I started adding baking soda to bring the PH...

    Fresh plaster but I have a question

    We did the acid startup technique but I am concerned that not running my equipment for at least 3 days is going to cause an algae bloom. The 3 day comment was from the plaster company. We are mid way through the second day with the pump being off and I really want to start circulating this...

    2.5" pressure guage from tftestkits failed after only 14 months?

    Not a huge deal but I thought these gauges were supposed to be a little more rugged than this. The gauge is just stuck at 12 psi. Kind of a bummer!

    Is it ok to use old cya from last year or the year before?

    Does cya degrade over time If not used over a period of a year or two? I guess another way to ask is does it have a shelf life? Thanks in advance!

    Hayward Sand Filter Valve Seal Failure

    Just thought I would share a little mishap of mine from yesterday. It was time to backwash so I turn the valve to backwash as usual. After rinsing and returning the valve to the "filter" setting I noticed that it was still back washing the water. I could not get it to come out of backwash...
