    Cell working but zero chlorine?

    I had a surprise water test of zero free or total chlorine. All other water chemistry OK except for high stabilizer (100 ppm vs 60-80 desired range. Hayward Turbo cell 15 has normal voltages, current, temperature and salt measurements, and local pool store tested it with 2 passes on their...

    Bad Reading from SWG

    New pool (completed May 2023). So all equipment is 3ish months old. Saw some white flakes coming out of the jets recently and figured the salt cell was dirty. We went out of town and my Father-In-Law who was caring for the pool turned off the Chlorinator (chlorine levels were HIGH). White...

    Re-pipe because salt cell before heater

    Hi all, I want to redo the pipe setup for my "new to me" pool. Last year was year 1 and I replaced anything that was broken 1:1; i.e. Hayward Heater bombed, Hayward salt 'n' swim controller and cell bombed, and the sacrificial anode hadn't been changed since 2013. Honestly, the heater and salt...

It's bulging and has some minor cracks and seems completely dead (no lights) I changed the fuse 10 amp, power came back for two seconds and smoke came out of unit. I'm guessing it is completely dead? If so should I be good to just swap it with a new...

    Was I Oversold

    Leslie's Sold me a Swimpure Extreme 40. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do my homework and didn't know the system was designed for pools "Up to 40,000 gallons". The problem is my pool is barely 8,000 gallons, and I am having trouble keeping the chlorine levels down. It started with a setting...

    Opening AND transitioning to SWG

    HI! I'm opening my pool right now. Water is clear after removing my winter cover! Yay! Okay. Last year, it was a liquid chlorine pool. This year, I'm currently installing an SWG. Do I need to shock the pool first before adding my salt and turning on the SWG? Or, could I add the salt, set my...
