yes, I know, a lot of these threads. And I have read…and am confused. My pool is small, 8000 gallons, and rectangular, with no spa. Steps, plus one bench. That’s 35x9. I had a Dolphin Warrior SE and it was “ok”. y Neighbor‘s Polaris sport does a better job but also takes off a surprising...

Hello all. I have a 4 year old system with a Hayward Pro Logic and a Polaris 200 (?) cleaner with booster. I’m trying to troubleshoot my Polaris, but I can’t get past the interlock which prevents me manually turning on the cleaner booster while the filter is running. Any help? I checked the...

So, hello all! Time for another season here in Houston! We've had a TON of rain over the last few weeks. We had a major storm two weeks ago that dumped 12" of rain in 24 hours! Since then we have had numerous storms that have probably added up to another 3-4 inches. Yuck! Trying to get the...

Hello! Reaching out to the forum to get some advice. Our little pool (8k gallons see sig for link) has one flaw...no heater! I had assumed since this is Houston and it's hot as, well, you know what during the summer and we have no spa that we didn't need a heater. So when we built the...

Hello! I have Hayward colorlogic lights running through a ProLogic 4 controller. With my more basic system, the way to cycle through the light colors is to turn the lights on, off and then on again within 5 seconds. Somewhere in the process of doing this, the lights are out of sync, so that...

So, I work for a national home builder, and we are building a pool at our model home. I thought that it might be fun to chart the progress of this pool build here. Not sure the exact gallonage, however the features are as follows: Raised wall spa with spillover Sport style pool with maximum...

So at the advice of a few in another thread, I purchased and installed the Tail Sweep Pro for my Polaris 280 to keep the thing from constantly spraying my windows. I put it on Friday and while watching it work yesterday morning, I noticed it got stuck in the corners of the shallow end a few...

I have a Polaris 280 with booster pump and it does a FABULOUS job keeping our small pool clean. Unfortunately it also likes to wash the windows too since our pool is close to our house! I searched on here and found a few solutions - tail sweep pro gadget, a tail sweep weight and turning down...

OK, so I was running through the menus on my controller, and the pump was off (cell not generating). For some reason the salt level was showing 0PPM, whereas earlier it had been showing 2900. Was thinking about shutting it down and adding some salt, but I couldn't figure why it was saying...

So, SWCG been running almost a month. I've been having a little trouble getting it dialed in. Finally got my TF 100 so was able to test CYA and, surprisingly enough, it agreed with my Color Q showing that it was at around 40. I have added enough stabilizer to get the CYA up to 60. My FC...

OK, so I've been running on the SWG for a few weeks now. Still getting it dialed in. This past week was cloudy and rain on and off, so my FC consumption dropped, and my FC level spiked up over 10. Dialed back the SWG a few notches and now it's down to 6.26. Took me a few days to get...

So, I'm still dialing in my SWG settings. We had a marked shift in weather recently and the sun has gone quite away. The last few days, my FC has been right around, or just over, 10ppm. It was running high 6's, low 7's last weekend. I've been dialing back the SWG, but between the lack of...

I have another thread going discussing air in my pool ever since the SWG got started up last week. There is significant air coming out of my returns when the SWG is active, but not when it's off. Is this normal?

Hello all: New pool, build thread is linked in my signature. Had it up and running about 30 days. My PB stopped by on Friday to start up my salt water generator. Since then I have noticed constant spurts of air from only TWO of my four returns. They are both on the same side (far...

So, total NOOB to the SWG. PB just started it up today. Dumped in 4 bags of salt around 2 and by 8:00 tonight the salt level is up to 3,200 ppm. I can definitely taste it a bit, but doesn't seem objectionable. So did a full test now that I am off bleach / pucks. Was running through...

See my signature for specs. Have an 8k gallon pool that is set up for SWG but not running on that yet since I'm just now getting out of the first month after plastering. So I've figured out my earlier sides and have passed my OCLT with flying colors (last night 0,0 FCL consumption). Right...

So my pool has been up and running for just about 3 weeks now. Specs and build link in my thread, but short story is 8,000 gal Wet Edge pebble / plaster pool. SWG but not running on salt due to Wet Edge warranty. It was plastered three weeks ago yesterday, filled three weeks ago today and...

Hi there, this will be a fun first post. Been lurking on the site for about 6 months at the recommendation of a friend, and it was very helpful in deciding some items like equipment, materials, etc. Below is the post of the majority of our pool build. It's done and filled, and the...
