If @kellyfair can announce her vacation return so can I ;) For the first time in 20-25 years I took an off the grid vacation. Which was no small task for a sole proprietor IT shop. I had to enlist the help of three other IT colleagues to cover my client base. We spent 5 days kayaking the San...

Anybody see this? You Houston-ites got any inside info? https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/17/us/texas-houston-water-park-chemical-incident/index.html Yikes!

I searched and searched for the "There's a moose in my pool" thread.. This was not in my skimmer basket.. and it wasn't floating dead.. so I decided to start a new thread. I have seen raccoons cleaning their claws in my pool, Bats dive bombing for bugs on the surface and families of skunks...

Thanks to this website I have amassed many intriguing tricks for managing my pool. For example I now prowl the aisles of women's sundries at Wally World to see if knee high socks are on sale.. they make great skimmer basket nets.. and I use them for the Sock Method of CYA dispersal too. They...

Howdy to all you Midwesterners. I thought I would tap into the hive mind for an opinion! I know many of you shop at Menards. They name is mentioned for chlorine purchases all the time. So I live in CA and have been doing some Internet shopping and I found some outdoor wall lights that I like at...

Hello Good Forum Admins and Modulators So I am having a heck of a time working with the forum search feature. It doesn't seem to like me. I have problems finding keywords in any consistent fashion. For example searching for keywords by member name. Just the other day I was trying to find...

Hi all Amazingly I found no posts on the forum about this. So I was the victim of the dreaded Iron contaminated Clorox Pool Salt about 3 seasons ago. Apparently it was worse than I thought. There is a nice darker area in my mottled dark plaster in the deep end from salt additions from that...

I was searching for something else and came across this webpage from the Purdue Chemistry department Purdue Chem Ed- Electrolytic Cells Scroll down or click on "The Electrolysis of Aqueous NaCl " and guess what, its a SWG cell... I wish my College Chemistry class had fun stuff like this.. We...

Is that a stupid question? yeah.. if its from my brain, probably. :rolleyes: So, alas, that time of year has come to my pool; its cold enough that the SWG is not producing. Unless heated, my pool will hover around the mid 50's for the rest of the winter. Wait a minute.. he says, "unless heated"...

So I've been searching around and I am sure this has been addressed somewhere on the forum already and if so I'm not finding it. I'm trying find out what the effect of the constrictions in fittings and equipment have on flow rates. I imagine a short narrow run is offset by the Venturi effect if...

So I thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone has any experience with this. It's something I can mull over in the coming years. The spillover wall on our attached spa loses tiles. When we bought the house the previous owners told us this would happen (as she handed me the two loose...

Its been just about 15 years since I redid my pool equipment. Its held up amazingly well. About 5 years ago I replaced the SWG (got 9yrs out of the first one). Lately over the last couple of seasons I've noticed things are starting to need more attention. I finally had to start replacing the...

Hi all.. So I have a dedicated waterfall pump and circuit. The plumbing is pretty straight forward water comes from the intakes in the pool, through the pump and to the waterfall. Its completely separate from the pool/spa/filter plumbing. I want to add some kind of flow control valve to...

It had been awhile, like years, since all the jets in my IG spa bubbled consistently and I thought I would get to the bottom of it (pun intended). I had always wondered how this thing worked. After digging around on the forum I found that the Venturi chambers are behind each spa jet and the air...

Hi All So I am looking to replace my old halogen pool and spa lights. This is the light from the spa. I believe the pool one is the same. The pool was built in the late 80's/early 90's and the lights are of the same vintage. I can find no information on the light to tell me what it is. I...

We have an in ground spa connected to our in ground pool. The corner edge tiles on the outside of the arc that meets the pool keep popping off. see pic below. We were told about this by the people that we bought the house from years ago and they just used underwater epoxy to re affix the tiles...

So I had a post-it inside my Controller door to remind me what the Diag button sequence was, and it finally wore out, so I made a new one. But this time I cut and pasted some other information and the T/S info from the Hayward manual. Then I folded it, laminated it and stuck it in my door. The...

Hi All.. I've poked my head in here on and off for a while and finally decided to join when I had a question to ask about SWG replacements.. So here's my story. I grew up with a pools at various times in my life and so did my wife, so it was fated that we would end up with a pool at some...

Re: need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15 So my T-Cell-15 looks like it has finally given up the ghost.. it ran for over 9 years! I think I got a good run out of it. So off to the Internet to search for a replacement and I found you'all! Should I go with the aftermarket ones...
