    SWG or AQL-P-4 Dilemma

    HELP Please!!!! Running on bleach for past few weeks, need some advice to determine if my Goldline 066008G-1 circuit board or my T-cell 15 needs replacing. Is there any troubleshooting tests I can run?

    Replacement T-15 Cell

    I get the proven OEM argument but the T-15 is old technology. I've been lucky and got nearly 10 years out of mine but others only 5-7 years. I have to believe there is newer technology out there. I may have to replace mine and have heard some good things about the Ti3. It's $364, has a 30...

    SWG or AQL-P-4 Dilemma

    My pool temp is now 75F and I'm still getting the 'Check system no cell power' and 'Chlor off test salt level' errors. Not sure where to go next to figure out if my Goldline 066008G-1 circuit board or my cell needs replacing. Any ideas out there?

    SWCG Increase Calcium in Water?

    Don't fall for the phosphate story. I learned the hard way by listening to a pool store guy before I found TFP. Yes phosphates are food for algae, but if you're keeping your chlorine level where it needs to be, and killing the algae, then there is nothing to feed on the phosphates. Don't...

    SWG or AQL-P-4 Dilemma

    I am trying to determine if my cell is bad or my AQL-P-4 board is bad. My local pool store has tested my cell, which is 10 years old, and says it is generating chlorine (cost me $50 for the test!). The errors I get on the board say 'Check system no cell power' and 'Chlor off test salt level'...

    First Time In Ground Closer

    I have been scouring the web/youtube for video of my kind of equipment. I have some additional questions, what position should the pump lever be set to main drain? When you get to the last opening to close, how do you do that while the compressor is running without trapping air and creating...

    First Time In Ground Closer

    First of all I did read the instructions in the closing section. However, as a newbie some of the steps are not clear to me. The pool company usually closes the pool using a compressor and that is not covered in the closing section (sad to say I don't even know where to plug the compressor...

    Skimmer Question

    I have two skimmers in my pool. When I remove the basket from the main skimmer (the one I use to vacuum the pool) I see two pipe openings. When I put my hand down into the lower one I can feel the suction and it looks to be clear. When I put my fingers into the second I feel sand/grit. I've...

    Conflicting CYA Advice

    Thanks for the advice about the sock trick. Will go out and buy a pair of pink ones asap! :D I re-tested my FC and it's up around 7 so the Sodium Hypochlorite did the business and the CYA has climbed into the high 40's. Even though my pool looked pretty clear, I do notice today that the...

    Conflicting CYA Advice

    I had a can of Sodium Hypochlorite (12.5%) left over from last seasons swamp disaster. I used Poolmath and added 96oz of it, which should get me to around 5ppm FC. I also gradually added 38oz of Stabilizer into the skimmer (to get me to 50 ppm) and have the filter running all night. I realize...
