Good morning everyone. I am just posting to confirm that which I have read through various posts. I have a Hayward T-15 swimpureplus. The serial number says it was made in 2016, however installed 04/17. This season, I am getting notoriously lower salt readings from the controller. I know...

I have always wondered why most seem to recommend having the SWG on during the day time (in sun) if you can help it. Obviously tiered power prices play a role for some (myself included) but what is the reason that it is recommended to run in full sun? Thank you in advance... I am a "but...

I have had the same pump for about a year now and love it! The quick clean feature is, as the name implies, a quick clean option. Basically regardless of what your pump is set at (mine is normally low at about 1000-1200 for circulation) if I were to hit the quick clean, it would over-ride my...

Thank you for the clarity... I have seen places state that it was a matter of hours on(regardless of percentage) as opposed to total Chlorine output..... this makes much more sense to me now. I too would prefer it to steadily deliver chlorine over time as opposed to 100% for 1-2 hours a day...

I hoping to get some final clarity on the % chlorination vs runtime debate. Seems after much browsing over the past year, the general consensus is a generator only has a certain amount of hours to chlorinate before it inevitably dies. With this logic, seems like the clearest course of action...

I also live in Surprise (welcome!) and strangely enough, my water isn't very hard (Calcium is only about 125-150) on city (not epcor) water. Recently purchased the home w/ the pool with an owner who didn't care to mind their tile. Have you taken a brillo pad to it just to see how "tough" the...

I went ahead and pulled it out... Verified the seal is clean and the gasket is brand new... Sealed it up and tightened it down again... Still leaking. Again very small (1-2"). Bulb is fine as it was never turned on while wet. I will try to flip the gasket around (though I've read it seals either...

More kudos for tftestkits.com ... Ordered a psi gauge that arrived leaking and would not keep glycerine, they attempted to troubleshoot it then sent a new one no questions asked. Excellent service!!

Thank you for the affirmation... It seemed like thats how it worked. Final question is on water. Is water allowed into the conduit? Would I have to drain/seal where the power cord comes in? Thank you

Recently bought a house with a 13 year old pool in it. Light was out. Went ahead and got a new gasket/bulb and installed it appropriately and now, 2 weeks later, it has 2" of water in it. I am thinking perhaps the light is leaking from the back of the unit. I may pull it out and empty/dry the...

I too had a similar Dilemma and opted for the Superflo which THP is 2.2... It was only $650, a bit cheaper as well and I don't have a need for the coveted Inteliflo. One thing to consider is to check w/ your utility company and see if they have any rebates and what the stipulations are if they...

I have been in the dilemma of 2speed-vs- variable myself. Take Superflow 1.5 HP for an example. I have found the difference between a 2 speed and variable to be $200. Not a massive difference in the front. Variable has pro's that 2speed does not, for example you get a timer that will function...

I've been keeping it within the 7.5-7.8 recommended. Recent drop was me being slightly overambitious with my acid and the rain keeping it low. Have been airating though to get her back to the middle to high. Definitely overly analyzing the pool (as it is the winter) trying to get up to speed...

Thank you for those tips, I did notice the 11 tends to make much smaller drops then everything else. Hadn't known that it may too suffer the static issue the TA test does as well. Also, FYI I was using the TF100 w/ the speedstir. The only thing that drove me to throw 4# in was due to the...

First of all, wanted to thank you all for your support, this is my first major pool that I have to take care of and appreciate all the help. Firstly the tests: FC: 4.0 CC: 0.5 (has been raining for past few days) pH: 7.6 TA: 80 CH:175 CYA: 30 Temp: 50's Bought a home w/ a pool with sky high...
