The pool looks like this most of the time, but will turn green just between weekly cleanings at least once a month, it never used to do that...thanks for all your advise and I will keep you updated. Happy Holidays!

Thanks, now just to be clear what should my CYA be? 70-80 is recommended in Pool School.

For reasons I don't understand the CYA is not monitored by the pool crews here, this is what my current guy responded with "Chlorine 1.0 ph 7.8 alk120 salt strip 3140 system 3200 wasnt able to test CYA ." I will get my own testing set and monitor this myself.

thanks cfherrman, that's what we have been doing for the last few weeks, will keep it up. - - - Updated - - - Yes the Eco Star is quite affordable to run compared to the older pumps, that's the only reason why I started running it 24/7.

Thanks for the info, I will work on getting a larger cell if we can't get this one straightened out. We seem to be keeping the algae down to a minimum now that we are running the SWCG at 100% again. We will SLAM again and use your suggestions and see how this works.

Thanks again James, The salinity is reading 3140 so it's fairly inline with the reading on the box. We will SLAM it and see how that helps. While you guys seem to be spot on with this cell being to small for the pool and not being able to keep up. this is how Hayward describes the T-3 "Hayward...

Hi James. Please see my reply to mknuass also. attached are pics of AR diognotics taken this morning, the unit was turned off and I turned it on to take the pics. The cell is maybe 18 months old. diagnostics from first frame 3200 62 28.1 2.78 100p -3100 Al-2 r 1.59 t-3 - - - Updated - - -...

Thanks for the quick reply, actually when I used to do the maintenance myself the pump was running 8-10 hours and the SWG was set at 100%. This time around the pool cleaners had it at 50% and we got in major arguments about this...to no avail, and I upped the hours on the pump to 24 hours for...

Hi Guys, First post here, I have had this pool since we built it in 2008, it has had pretty much the same equipment as listed below since new, up until about a year ago it was almost trouble free. We have either maintained it ourselves or use a company to do weekly cleanings. About a year ago...
