Installed a new Pureline t-15 cell on a Aquarite 900 system about 2 months ago. Everything was great until about 2 weeks ago. I had been running the cell at ~30% and maintaining a steady 3.5-4.0 Cl level (its oversized for the pool). Suddenly the Cl cratered. No error lights. Good salt...

I have a recurring dusting of algae on sides and where the pool vac doesn't reach. It easily brushes off and vacuumed away but comes back in about a week. I've been running chlorine at about 4-5 (free and total) by running my salt generator high but hasn't helped. pH on high side (~7.9) but...

New solar panel installation on my pool. Everything is normal while pump is at full speed. When pump changes to low speed I think the vacuum valve is sucking air into the system because the return jets are bubbling nosily and bubbles appear in the solar return check valve window. There is...

I need to replace an old 120v pool light. An electrician recommended that I use the opportunity to switch to a 12v light since they are safer. I asked the question ‘If done correctly, aren’t both safe?’ His response was that if something goes wrong/breaks, etc. the safety for a 120v light is...

I'm adding ~1 40lb bag every 2 weeks. I'm in Florida but pool is unused now. I have the pump run down to 4hrs and I've set the SWG to its lowest setting. I have no trouble maintaining good Cl levels. I've had my salt levels manually tested to be sure the SWG wasn't misreading too. Is this...

I'd like to know if its acceptable practice to store pool chemicals (acid, liquid Cl, stabilizer) together in an outdoor storage bin? Something like this I'm in Florida -- so +90F weather is common. I would keep it in a shaded area however. Also, intend to keep a lock on it. Thanks for the...

Recently had my pool resurfaced and I’m concerned that the scuff marks and large discolored areas do not appear to be evening out over time. I’m looking for input from more experienced on how far off the norm it is, and what can be done to correct. Here’s some background / time line: 2/23 –...

Just had a SWG added as part of more extensive pool project. The SWG the contractor installed is a PureChlor (manufactured by Solaxx). Scouring the net doesn't have much info on these in terms of reliability and user satisfaction. Does anyone have any experience with these to share?
