Richard, yes this seems to be the case. I was able to turn on the pump last night. I have always had it running during the day time, I think I have to switch to night time so that the pump does not get over heated. We have had some high temps recently. It is only going to get worse. May be I...

My pump is Hayward Super II Pump Model K48N2N104 2 HP motor I have updated my signature as well.

TFP contributors, I just noticed that my pump died (at least that's what I think). How do I confirm this? I had the pool in a pretty bad condition owing to my work related travel. I shocked it yesterday evening and ran the pump all night - and got the pool looking good this morning. There...

Aussieta, Yes I did add LC and brought FC up to 5.

Uh oh.... I thought the pool calc said to reduce the TA - bring down the pH between 7.0 and 7.2 and to aerate. Have I misunderstood? If so what would be the way to reduce TA?

Hello, I have installed a new SWG - Hayward Swimpure Plus with t-15 salt cell. Today morning I did start it for the first time. My SWG is set at 50%. The salt level is currently at 3200 ppm. This tested by using the Aquachek test strips. The instant salinity indicator on the diagnostics...

That link on Amazon (if I am not mistaken) is for an above ground pool. Mine is an in-ground pool. Thanks anyways.

Hi, I was looking in this forum and I did notice a thread discussing replacement cells from a company named titaniumcells.com. They offer a replacement to the Hayward T-15. This comes with a 3 year warranty. As mentioned by me in another post, I am looking to replace my long gone Zodiac...

Thanks Jason and Jason.

Hi, I am looking for some advice. My Zodiac LM2-24 Salt Water Chlorinator has been long busted. This season, I am wanting to change the whole unit and replace it with Pentair Intellichlor IC40. I am aware that I need a power module and the cell. Currently my pool pump and the Zodiac are...

The vitamin C at home contains other ingredients apart from ascorbic acid. I want to check out other brands in the store to make sure if I can get some with just ascorbic acid. With respect to the black stain, it is not raised. I held a trichlor puck on the spot - no effect. On the "streak /...

Thanks PaulR for your response. In fact I am going to have to replace the SWG as the equipment is now busted. I am awaiting deliveries. The new SWG will require a salt level of 3200 - which means I might have to drain some considerable amount of water about 21%, which might work to my advantage...

PH this morning was at 7.6, TA is at 130. I have been trying to keep it between 7.2 and 7.8 as I am also trying to lower my TA from 130 to 80. I go down to about TA of 110 and then it climbs back up maybe. Not quite sure yet.

I have tried to scrub the brown spots - no result. I forgot to mention that the spots are prevalent all over the pool. I have shocked the pool by add 1 gal of chlorine 10 % to raise the FC to shock level. But that was when I did not have the TF 100 test kit. Could not tell how much the FC went...

I have 2 issues. 1. I have spots on the pool surface. I have attached pictures. 2. I have one black spot much different than item 1 above and a black "line" the size of an inch or inch and a half on the side wall. Have pictures for this also. Hopefully the members / contributors can...
