    SWG won’t Turn On- Hayward Aqua Plus

    Cell was replaced in April 2022. It is an aftermarket cell. Thing is it was reading the levels just fine a week or so ago and now it won’t even turn the SWG on. Thanks for your response.

    SWG won’t Turn On- Hayward Aqua Plus

    Hi, we are having an issue with our Hayward aqua plus not registering the salt level correctly. It is registering at 1000 ppm. We have a separate salt tester that has the salt at 3450 PPM. The salt cell is right at 3 years old. This is now causing our pool to turn green because it is not...

    Stains thanks to clorox salt! Do not use

    Oh no, I am so sorry! I just put 4 bags of this brand into our pool this weekend and we have a dark liner. Now I am scared to look when I get home :( I did notice that it dissolved great but didn't notice any staining initally. How long after adding did the staining appear?

    What's your current pool temp?

    78 with no heater or solar cover. This dark liner really heats quick!! It was quite refreshing during the 85 degree day we had last week.

    New Pool Owner ?'s ..When to begin testing? Muriatic Acid Alternative?

    So below are my numbers after testing... PH-8.2 FC- 0 TA-130 CH-300 CYA-0 These numbers are so bad! I’m embarrassed �� Not sure which to tackle first before performing the SLAM. I did get some MA today to get my PH down so I’ll use the app to figure the amount on that. What do I...

    New Pool Owner ?'s ..When to begin testing? Muriatic Acid Alternative?

    I just downloaded the app earlier this am and paid for the storage. I was playing around with it and noticed the multiple options for MA % and such. So user friendly! That is so awesome and such an easy way to refer back to prior level and patterns. Thanks for making it easy for a newbie like me.

    New Pool Owner ?'s ..When to begin testing? Muriatic Acid Alternative?

    Yes, the pool has been turned over to us. Scary to think about :eek: Thanks for the tip on the Sodium Bisulfate. I will steer clear of that and get over my fear of the Muriatic Acid. I have read the SLAM instructions and feel ok about that, just need to get my PH down before performing...

    New Pool Owner ?'s ..When to begin testing? Muriatic Acid Alternative?

    I have been reading up a storm on here learning about chemistry, SLAM ( which I know I need to do due to algae), auto cleaners, etc. but I am still not 100% on when I should be trying to balance the water fully. We just finished the build 4 months ago. Being in middle TN the pool is not open...

    New Build-Middle Tennessee-Help with options

    We are having Cornerstone Pools and Service put our pool in. We have a flat yard with easy access as well, but Rutherford Co where we live is pretty well known for being rocky. Middle Tennessee is general is for that matter. Maybe the PB you are getting a quote from is taking that into...

    New Build-Middle Tennessee-Help with options

    I know the type of filter is a matter of preference, but is it really that much more money ( long term) having a cartridge filter. I'm looking at the SwimClear 325sq ft. We are looking at the Omnilogic but not sure sure if we want to spring for that just yet. We live in ROCKY middle Tennessee...
