    A friendly warning to new pool owners

    I guess I assumed that is what happened. I have a current Taylor test kit with good reagents. How did it go to 90 without adding anything besides the CYA itself and running the SWG. I do not use tabs/powder/etc.

    A friendly warning to new pool owners

    I have had my pool now for four years. In the beginning, I knew nothing...zero...nada. Because mainly of this forum, I now know how to make my water so clean and clear you couldn't even tell there was water in in pool. (slight exaggeration :p) Fast forward to last month where I made a huge...

    Power problems with Hayward SWG

    Sorry about the delay as I was away for a bit. I have the SWG plugged into the other side (two separate receptacles on two separate lines to the house) and I am back in business. I plugged the outdoor sump pump into the suspected bad receptacle and we will see what happens. I hope it was a...

    Power problems with Hayward SWG

    Hello all thanks for your time. A few days ago I noticed the GFI kept tripping on the receptacle the SWG was plugged into. After messing with it I decided to replace the said receptacle. After running it all night I found all lights on my Hayward to be out. I unplugged the unit, hit test on...

    Numbers game help.

    I am sorry for all the questions honestly but I do have one more. 1st do you use the Langelier Saturation Index or just balance the levels for each and don't worry about meeting the index. Why do some online calculators want the CYA level and some do not. I currently have a CYA level now of...

    Numbers game help.

    I typically run the SWG 8 hrs per day at 70 but have bumped that up to 80% for 8 hrs. I have been able to keep a steady level for the last few days between 2 to 4 ppm. I just tested it after a large rain and I am running at 2.2. I went ahead and turned it on anyway to try to get around a...

    Numbers game help.

    Your right I meant CC was .2 sorry about that. I just tested it and it went from yesterdays 5.4 to 1.8 in a matter of 24 hrs. Yes we had very bright direct sunlight today but that is too much of a loss especially with the CYA at 60. I added addl CYA yesterday also so that number should be...

    Numbers game help.

    Yes I am still using the T15 except it is a brand new one. I take it you also stating that I did not need to add the calcium due to it being an vinyl liner? I was concerned for the metal parts inside the T15 as well as the propane heater. Thank you for your response! - - - Updated - - -...

    Does new T-15 cell come with flow sensor and ...

    This will be a replacement. As of now the flow sensor / light does not work on my current system anymore. I have a brand new main board just replaced this year. The flow sensor light did work after installation but then stopped a few weeks ago. The board clicks when it is on and the numbers...

    Does anyone know if I buy a new T-15 cell if it comes with a flow sensor? Also I notice there is a GLX-FLO and a GLX-FLO RP. Does anyone know what the difference is between the two? Thanks a million folks, :goodjob:

    Check salt light flashing on Hayward swg but level is 3200

    Re: Check salt light flashing on Hayward swg but level is 32 To be honest I have no real way of knowing. I 'inherited' this pool when we bought the pool. If I had to guess I would say it is at least 5 years old. I have the inspect cell light also flashing but have done so several times...

    Check salt light flashing on Hayward swg but level is 3200

    Hello all, is anyone an expert on the Hayward salt generator system? I have the T-15 cell and keep getting the check salt level light to flash. I know how to reset the instant salt level (move switch to super chlorinate then back during start up) but have to do this each day to trick the system...
