I have an Aquarite T-9 system that was installed in 2014. There is no automation to the system. The box and cell are both dead. I tried to do the troubleshooting for the box and replacing the main board didn't help. Can I change current system to AQR940 without doing any modifications to...

Does anyone know if Hayward honors a warranty for a new SWG (entire system) when purchased on Amazon? Their warranty page specifies "Hayward authorized seller" but didn't know if that included Amazon. I emailed them but haven't received a response. Background: I am replacing a T-9 cell, but...

I purchased a generic brand MPV to replace mine that is 7 years old (the handle was hard to turn). Everything about the generic looks exactly the same, but it will not sit correctly. I have the tab lined up and it looks like it is stopping around the top o-ring. I didn't want to force it too...

I thought I had saved a previous thread with this info, but I can't find it now. I have a Hayward S220T Sand Filter. The handle is hard to turn, and the spider gasket is worn on the inside. I had read somewhere that I had to buy the whole assembly (with the gasket pre-installed) but an...

When trying to close the pool this afternoon, I couldn't get any air pressure to build up. In the process of checking everything to see what I was missing, I checked the drain plug to make sure it was tight, and it broke off half still in the threads (it is 6 years old and not pliable). I...

I know I need a new cell (this one is 6 years old), and it will be ordered soon. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to trick the SWG display into reading the correct salt level so it will generate chlorine? It works for a while when first turned on and then it goes to 1600 with a...

How long does the typical pool vacuum hose last? I am beginning my 6th summer, and the hose is stored indoors the majority of the time. It has a few scuffs from the cement, but I noticed a small broken area about 10 inches from the non-swivel (skimmer) end of my hose last night. (So small...

What is a "good" price for CYA? In the past I have bought the Clorox brand at Wal-Mart because of the Clorox coupons. I saw a review on here last year for CYA purchased on eBay. As long as it stays dry until I'm ready to use it is it ok to buy in bulk? Dry, inside storage space isn't an...

Sam's Club has a 44 lb bag of water softener salt for $4.28 (instant savings price valid until 2-25-18). Is this a good price?

Is the chlorine price calculator no longer supported? I can't get the website to load and "down for everyone" says the same. Thanks!! http://poncatechsquad.com/dan/calc/chlorine/ Is poncatechsquad.com down?

I have a leaf gulper vacuum that connects to a water hose. The back side is weighted down by the hose and the pole, but the opposite side floats up, making it very hard to vacuum. (Bad design IMO, but the concept of the vacuum itself is great for those of us with lots of trees.) I thought I...

I have been having an issue with the display on my Hayward Aqua Rite SWG. It sometimes displays "nonsense" letters and numbers, all the lights will be on, it switches to metric measurements without me switching it (but I can switch it back), etc. Today it was a new problem...reading the salt...

SLAMing. FC is 16 (should have been 12 but I was heavy handed with the bleach). I have maintained FC throughout the day even though I passed OCLT early this morning (I was not sure if this gunk is enough to affect FC so I've just left it another day). I've tried 2 different pool brushes...

I have a sacrificial anode that was installed when the pool was built in 2014. I've read varying opinions...some people think they are beneficial while others say not. I don't know anything about the type I have, how long they generally last, what kind of maintenance (if any) is needed, etc...

I am having issues with air in the pump basket. It doesn't seem bad enough to turn off the pump completely because there is still plenty of water in the basket but there are very visible large bubbles. The pump is only pulling from the main drain at this time because I'm still refilling water...

Everything I've read says to turn your filter to recirculate before blowing out your lines. I can't get air to build up in the lines with the filter position on recirculate, but when it is on filter, it works beautifully. What am I doing wrong? Is there a chance I am doing damage with it...

My 3 yr old pressure gauge is slow to rise when the pump is first turned on and slow to fall when it is turned off (but it does eventually go back to zero when off.) After a minute or so it gets to where I would expect the pressure to be, is consistent, and I have movement through the returns...

After MUCH thought, I finally took the plunge to sign up for an Amazon Prime account. It will be interesting to see how much I order in the next year just to feel like I got my money's worth! I miss the days of $25 to qualify for free shipping--it has now gone to $49!! :roll: What types of...

I know the pros and cons of adding DE to a sand filter have been discussed in depth. My question is about how to store the powder since I won't be using it often. The best I can come up with is a 5 gallon bucket with a lid, but that means I have to move about 23 lbs out of the rectangle box it...

This was in the weekly ad. I am not currently at DG and the MSDS sheet on DGs website has a UPC number, so I'm not sure I'm looking at the correct one. http://dollargeneral.online-msds.com Does anyone have any experience using DG bleach or have this bottle at home and can look up the UPC or...

I just opened Saturday. Is there any way to clean the liner stains before I raise the water again? The picture quality is not that great--to me it looks worse in person. Thanks!

Due to a fountain, I do not really have a place for a solar cover reel without it majorly being in the way. How much of the pool has to be covered to benefit from a solar blanket? The reason I ask is because I'm considering buying a large blanket and cutting it into sections or buying several...

I'm considering adding a building in the backyard near the pool. One side would be enclosed, for storage of a lawnmower, weedeaters, etc. I have a basement with a bathroom so that really isn't a necessity in a building. I'm not sure about enclosing the side for the pool equipment in case work...

We have had massive amounts of rain in my area...although it was badly needed there is too much of a good thing!! I noticed the other day that the GFCI on my SWG had gone out. I've tried resetting it, both from outside and in the main box in the basement, but neither way works. Whether it...

Is it a good idea to buy pool chemicals in bulk as I have a coupon or as they go on sale towards the end of the season? I know chlorine/bleach loses strength, so I wouldn't buy that. Specifically, I am asking about things like CYA, pH Down, etc. I have a basement so they would be cool and dry...

Does anyone else have this issue of display on the mobile website? It is this section only, pool school displays fine. I'm using an Android phone. Thanks! Sent using Tapatalk

When I bought CYA in May, it took several days to dissolve. I bought another container about 3 weeks ago, and used it for the first time yesterday and today. It is dissolving within a few hours!! Does the "freshness" of the CYA have anything to do with the time it takes to dissolve? All were...

Moderator if this isn't the appropriate category please move...I wasn't sure where it best fit. :-) I've had issues with the cantilever coping since day one. I should have been more vocal about getting it fixed, especially since it was an additional charge. Had I known, I would have stuck...

I have the Jandy 3 way valves. When I move it toward the main drain being off, I get lots of bubbles in the pump basket...not enough to lose prime but there is definitely an air leak. When it is open (both skimmer and main drain on), or just the skimmer off, I have no issues with air bubbles...
