    Adding Pressure Gauge to old Hayward S200 filter with Multi-Valve Port

    Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted here but I just realized I need to add a pressure gauge to my filter. We bought the house 2 years ago and it did not have a gauge on it. The Multi-Valve Port has a sight glass and just above that to the right has a black plastic bolt that looks like...

    Aquarite SWCG Lights shutting off

    That's brilliant. So you cut the legs off near the old thermistor, bend them 90 degrees, bend the legs of the new one 90 degrees, then solder together? Am I understanding that right? Thanks so much I never would have thought of that... Reminds me to KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) which I have a...

    Aquarite SWCG Lights shutting off

    Thanks so much, James! Just an update my thermistor should be here tomorrow. I took advice from another thread and used a binder clip to compress the current thermistor and it's back up and working for now! SLAM is almost complete, passing all tests just waiting on crystal clear water. Its a...

    Aquarite SWCG Lights shutting off

    The Voltage is all over the place. From as low as 1 up to 30. It's erratic while both off and on auto. I'll replace the thermistor as soon as I can get one in. Does that mean it's still producing chlorine while the lights are off or no? Serial # of Cell =3E16356 Serial of box = *5A0707-1...

    Aquarite SWCG Lights shutting off

    Hey all, I've had a problem lately where my SWCG doesn't show any lights on after a few minutes. It continues to display the Salt level and I can go through the diagnostics button but I'm wondering if it needs to be replaced or if there's some trouble shooting I can do to potentially solve it...

    Salt Cell in Direct Sunlight

    Good morning all! You've been a great help in the past and I've scoured the website to find an answer (as well as the dreaded Google) and have not been able to find anything on this subject. I inherited a GoldLine Aquarite SWCG with an original T-9 Cell for my pool. I've been having problems...

    Thank you, I will fix the CYA and do an OCLT after I get it up to the recommended levels. Thank you all again!

    Salt Cell Replacement

    I know a TC of 1 isn't ideal but considering a CYA of 0 and the fact that there isn't much demand for it right now it should get me by until I get my issues fixed. I will add CYA starting today and also some liquid Chlorine to boost the TC level. I am also running my pump 24/7 due to the fact...

    Salt Cell Replacement

    Hello all! I just moved into a house with a new pool that uses a SWCG. Never used salt water before so I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix my issues. We had our liner replaced and filled with water last week and I just got my test kit in Taylor K-2006 with the Taylor K-1776 salt test...

    Pool Coping Patch

    Thank you for all the information. For now I have cut the cracked plastic smooth and filled it with quickrete. I will then paint it white with a waterproof sealant to match the white PVC as best I can. When we next need a new liner (hopefully 10 years from now) we will have saved enough money...

    Pool Coping Patch

    Happy V-day to everyone here! My wife and I just bought a new (old) house with a pool! I'm no stranger to pools as I have been maintaining my MIL's pool with the TFP method for years. However, the Coping on our pool is in bad shape. A quote to replace it was anywhere from 12-17k! We don't have...

    Skimmer Leak?????

    So I wasn't there when they inspected it, but my MIL did say that they told her there were more pin holes than they could detect. I will ask her tomorrow to be sure but it seemed pretty obvious that since she fired them for maintenance and upkeep they immediately found the most expensive fix to...
