Hey everyone. My battle with my SWG continues. The problem is that there is no power light, no generating light, but there is a no flow light when the pump is first turned on. It also gives the diagnostic readings. 2800, 82, 14.6, 0.00, 68P, - 0, AL - 0, r 1.59, t-15 I've replaced. 1. New...

I've had this about 7 years. Today, I tested pool and noticed chlorine dropped so I went to turn my chlorine up from 67 to 72. Inspect cell light came on briefly and then everything went black. The panel still works (reads 3000, 72 p, etc etc) and the no flow light works when you turn the pump...

I used a new pool company to open my pool this year, and I don't believe they did a good job. My concern is the valve opening or closing position (circled in red). Is this correct to leave both of these open? I'm thinking I need to leave both open, right? Or why else would I need to close...

Hey everyone. My house and pool are about 6 years old. I'm the second owner of both and moved in around October 2014. The previous owners were complete morons. Long story short, I opened my cover 3 weeks ago and the pool water level was about 2' higher than the floor skimmer in my deep end...

Hey everyone. Turns out my liner somehow was shot so I had to replace so now I'm filling up my pool. I'm a rather newbie so I wanted to make sure that I'm balancing the chemicals in the proper order. After the pool is at the right water level, I assume that I would have to: 1. Get salt...

Hey Everyone. Boy, I'm having a doozie of a time getting my pool going. My Hayward pump went out so I replaced with Waterway Champion 1 HP. My Hayward pump was single speed and I believe this Waterway maybe also. However, the Waterway will run for about 10 minutes and then shut itself off...

Hey everyone. I think I got myself into a bind tonight. I'm currently going into night 2 of my SLAM. My pool is crystal clear (has small debris though) and CC is now at .5, but I'm still losing a little chlorine. Around 9:30 pm tonight, I heard my Hayward pump make loud noises (like it was...

Hey Everyone. I've just opened my pool and I have 0 FC so I am doing a SLAM. This is my first SLAM. Since I have 0 FC and I'm guessing at the size of my pool, I added what I thought was the right amount of bleach to get my FC to 10 (my CYA was around 20 so FC at 10 is my shock). I tested my...

Hey everyone. I may have a complete cell failure. I have Inspect Cell and Low Salt light flashing and my salt reading is 800. Here is what has happened the last few months: 1. About 1.5 months ago, I had Low Salt and Inspect Cell light. I cleaned cell and added salt. Everything was fine...

Hi TFP community. My neighbor has a pool that he has had a lot of problems with, and I was wondering if you guys can help me try to get him corrected. Please disregard my signature because I am troubleshooting for a neighbor. Here are his specs: he actually has a very nice set-up and pool...

Hey everyone. I need to seek help regarding my SWG. Here are sequence of events: 1. 2 weeks ago, Inspect Cell light came on. I cleaned cell with muriatic acid. 2. Then I backwashed after I put cell back in. 3. Lots of rain, and I drained pool a little last Thursday (7.2.14). 4. Had a...

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum, but today, I got a "Low Salt" and "Check Cell" light on my Aqua Rite SWG. The display gave me a reading of 2700 for salt. Here are some stats: 1. Over past 24 hours, my pool has filled up an additional 3"-4" with rain water. We are getting...

During the Chlorine Test, it says to use the "Chlorine Only" tube. Any particular reason that this is labelled so specific? I bought the magnetic stirrer kit and have been using the "Chlorine Only" tube with the magnetic stirrer. Is this OK?

Hello. Unfortunately, it's me again with more questions. I've been on a 2 week mission to add CYA into my pool. When I first started, I had less than 20 CYA so each week, I've been trying to raise it 15-20. After I drop the socks into the pool, I usually get them to dissolve within a day...

Here are my test results after the second round of CYA addition. TF100 test kit. On dates 5.19 and 5.26, these are the 4th days after I put the CYA sock into the pool (they dissolved within a day). Also, around 5.21.15, I turned my pump/heater on for 8 hours a day, running at 50% on SWG...

I am a newbie to testing. I have tested 5 times now within 2 weeks. Can you help me determine when the "black dot" is gone for the CYA test? The tube on the left is 50 CYA. The tube on the right is 45 CYA. 50 CYA tube has a faint trace of black dot. Am I being too anal about this? Which...

As a newbie, I'm assuming that a running pump is what is driving the water through the skimmer/filter? I do not have a timer on my pump. I have a SWG with a heat pump that is currently on. I asked the pool guy, that opened my pool, how long to leave the pump going each day. His response was...

I have a SWG. Got my TF-100 test kit today with magnetic stirrer. Here are my numbers (please note that tests were done with magnetic stirrer, if applicable to mixing): Salt Test (sodium chloride): 3600 ppm FC: 7.5 ppm CC: .5 ppm TC: 8 ppm Quick Test of pH: 7.5 Quick Test of Cl: 5 (or...

Hello fellow pool owners. I bought a home last fall with an inground saltwater pool. It has an Aqua Rite system. I had a pool company come out and open it for me on Thursday. They dumped 3 bottles of a white powdery substance and a bottle of blue liquid (after they opened the pool). They...
