    Why do I keep burning thru SWG’s?

    Ok, so you guys were correct. My problem was algae. After doing a SLAM for a few days, the pool is crystal clear now. I didn’t realize how cloudy it was before. Thx everyone!

    Why do I keep burning thru SWG’s?

    Thanks guys. There must’ve been some other chlorine tabs put in at the same time then- I didn’t think so, but it would have to be of those calculations are right. I haven’t done the chlorine loss test- but I will do it tonight and then SLAM the pool if needed.

    Why do I keep burning thru SWG’s?

    Thanks everyone. Here are some follow up data as requested: Yes, I have been keeping up by adding chlorine tabs throughout this entire time. The FC level has been low, but never completely zero. There is no visible algae, but when it gets very low the water does start to little...

    Why do I keep burning thru SWG’s?

    We’ve been in our house a little over a year now. Previous owners had a pool installed about 4 years ago. 15k gallons, automatic cover, Hayward AquaRite chlorine generator. From the time we moved in until we Winterized the pool last year, Everything seemed to be fine. But I couldn’t control...

    Definitive fix for spa drainage

    Hi all- I bought my house about a year ago. The previous owners had a pool and spa installed, but there is not a “spillway” for the spa to spill over the side into the pool. The spa will slowly drain down over the course of 24-48 hours, and I haven’t been able to figure out why. Once it drains...

    SWG randomly stops working

    I travel out of town a lot and would like to add the ability to control my SWG percentage output from my phone. I have tried searching on Hayward’s website but I’m still unsure if this is possible without completely replacing my control box. I have a Hayward AquaLink controller with a Hayward...

    SWG randomly stops working

    So…. Next question is this: is there a way to have an automated remote controller for my SWG so I can adjust the percentage generation from my phone? I am out of town a lot and can test my chlorine levels via a remote app (water guru). Would be nice to be able to make remote adjustments to...

    SWG randomly stops working

    Ok- I think I got it figured out. The pump was wired directly to the 220V breaker, and the control wire from the AquaLink to the pump was controlled by the red/black wires from the farthest right relay. I removed the blue 120v power wire from the SWG, hooked it to the load side of that...
