Thanks Jason, will do.

Thanks for the reply Jason. It sounds like it's gasping for air. It's definitely not priming.

We've had the strangest problem with our waterfall. Pool is about 5 years old. Last year, it stopped working and I couldn't figure it out, so while the pump was on, I just jumped in the deep end of pool where there are two round grey things (returns of some sort?) on the pool wall. As soon as...

Yes, very tight. I just noticed there's a small drip coming from the joint on the metal band that wraps around the filter. I've had the toughest time getting that to seal over the years. My process (not sure if it's right) is to tighten the bolt, hit on the band with a rubber mallet, and...

Yeah, I sure did. I know it's always filled completely after each time I cleaned the cartridges in the past so I am pretty confused since I have brand new cartridges in there.

Just installed 4 new cartridges in my Hayward C3025 and after putting everything back together, I noticed two things: 1) The pump strainer basket is not completely filled with water. It's probably a good 2-3 inches from the top and the splashes aren't even touching the top of the lid 2) The...

Thank you both. Unicel's replacement is also 19 5/8" tall so I better take a look at what's inside the filter. I just remember the current filters barely fitting in our garbage can when I cleaned them because they were so tall, so I'm pretty curious now.

Time to replace the filters, so I looked on the filter sticker and I have a Hayward C3025 and it says to use CX580RXE replacement filters. Looking at the Hayward site (Filter Link Here) it shows the filter as being 7 x 19 5/8. The filters that are in there are much taller than that (they are...

It's a PebbleTec pool with almost 20,000 gallons. Thank you.

Finally was able to get those measurements. Cl - 1.5 PH - 7.6 CYA - 20 TA - 60 CH - 450 So, looks like I need to increase my CYA and replace some of our water. CH is also pretty high. Should I address the CYA or CH first? Thanks.

Great post Midsouth. I was able to change the polarity and get the salt level at 3800. When I changed it back, I also was unable to get anything above 300ppm. My new cell should be here tomorrow according to UPS, so I'm anxious to get it installed. I'm also wondering if it's just a matter of...

I think I spoke too soon. Salt readings started slowly declining again and it now says the reading is too low and to check the system. I'll check all the contacts on the board again, but looks like it may be time to bite the bullet and purchase a new SWG.

My apologies, I'll record the other measurements this evening and post them back. As for the SWG, about 6 weeks ago, the reading started slowly dropping and then wouldn't display a number. I cleaned the cell (had a very small amount of buildup on it) and put it back it. Over the next week...

Our salt cell is dying and even though the salt level is the high 3,000's we're not getting any chlorine generated from it. Don't have the funds for a new one just yet, so for about a month, I've been using liquid chlorine but green algae appears every 2 days or so. PH is balanced, as is TA...

Quick update...I took the cell off and cleaned it 2 times. It's now reading 2500 as of this morning, so it's starting to climb back up, just going about 100 a day. I took a water sample in a pool store and they said my salt level is actually 4600.
