    How long to run saltwater chlorinator

    Hi I think this is what is happening for me now. I just converted to salt this year and just getting the hang of it. I shocked the pool once with liquid chlorine shock and I've been running the swg at 80% for 14 hrs a day for about a week. I had a ton of snacks in my pool because I have a...

    Hayward Aqua Plus PL-Plus -New Owner

    So I went out this morning with it super chlorinating though the night with no issues as far as I can tell... It was very warm to the touch still. Particularly the metal around the box above where the transformer is. It's not so hot that you can't keep your hand on it, but it is very warm...

    Hayward Aqua Plus PL-Plus -New Owner

    I am going outside now to take some pictures for you guys and run some of the checks. Remember....everything works normal and does not get warm if I'm not using the chlorine generator... So that SHOULD rule out a wiring issue, I think. Yes the neutral is going back to the main panel. I'm not...

    This is really helpful. I can try a few of these things tomorrow. Is it supposed to feel pretty warm to the touch? I can tell you how it's wired. I have a 15 amp gfi breaker. I have the hot lead going to the hot screw and the neutral lead going to the neutral screw. There is no ground but...

    Yes I can tomorrow. The automation is powered by 120 and the pool pump is 240. This particular model requires the controller to be wired for 120 15 amp.

    Hayward Aqua Plus PL-Plus -New Owner

    Hi Everyone, I just finally opened my pool this week because we redid the deck and the electrical was a disaster. So I cleaned it all up, put a new sub panel in (Hayward PL-PLUS) and converted to salt. I shocked the pool with liquid shock on Friday when I opened it and dumped 12 40 pound salt...

    Gas Heater vs Heat Pump?

    I live in NJ and have about a 35,000-40,000 gallon pool and about 20x40ft. July/August pool temps are usually pretty warm without any help, but May/June/Sept can be a little chilly. I was considering replacing the old broken heater that was here when I moved in. I would just want 78degree...

    Thanks for the replies. I have pavers around the coping and a deck made of pavers. Do you foresee the salt doing damage here, or is it sort of just a theoretical thing? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Pool renovation question

    Hi, I am new to this forum. Bought a house last year with an in ground pool and have had one problem after another with the 20+ year old liner and piping. I was also told by a neighbor that the pool was drained a few years ago on this old liner and that the same liner was reset! Talk about...
