Pool is sparkling and clear. thanks for all the suggestions. Lots of liquid chlorine and pump running nonstop and the robot doing his job and all is well.

I think today is the first day it is over 60. We are on the coast and it stays cold longer. and by the end of October we are wearing coats. We are getting there - at this point it is just cloudy. I will backwash the de tomorrow and see if that helps move things along. The chlorine level is...

We pay someone to open and close and otherwise I do TFP methods. Our guy retired and we have a new one. When they opened the pool yesterday it is emerald green. I have never in almost 12 years had green in my pool. We close late and open early before and after warm weather. close late October...

Re: Suction Side air leak issue What did you use to seal the leak. Interesting item that I didn't know existed. Thanks

Ours didn't have anything like that. He had a picture of the shape we wanted situated on the lot. What he did have though was a good reputation with the local building and zoning people. I don't imagine they are allowed to recommend a certain guy but we asked who puts in the most pools in our...

YOU WERE RIGHT!!! I hate when people post a problem and then never come back and tell the resolution to the problem. My SWG was still under warranty. The PB said they had told him it wasn't but he called and asked them to check again because I was not the first person to claim the paperwork...

We had the same problem. It was our heat pump. The problem was something called a thermistor (sp) It was under warranty so the guy came and replaced the part. My husband said it looked like a tv tube. It took us days to find out what was causing the humming sound. We didn't notice it...

If the board is still under warranty as our manual states then we will get a new board from Hayward. If it isn't, then I will be ready since I was able to read the exact number off the part in our swg and then order the correct part from DigiKey as suggested on this forum. I got two of them...

I got some pictures if the suspected part. Mine has soft plastic around the wires as it goes into the board. The plastic is very dis colored. I can't really see a crack or anything in the black disc. What do you think.

My manual says the acquarite is warranted for three years. The PB said he thought it was one year but would check. Anyone know which is accurate. If it is still under warranty do the still charge you to come check it?

OK, I don't think it is the fuse thing. I went out again and opened the box and now that it is getting darker the lights are easier to see. What is happening is that the lights - power - generating - and super chlorinate - come on for about the count of ten and then go dark for about the count...

Just added enough chlorine to get the level up. I think I got it in time, especially because I usually keep it fairly high to begin with. We just added salt last week so the range is fine. It is 3200 so that should be good. I just went out to turn on the filter system so I could add some...

We had torrential rains here yesterday with crazy blowing wind. It seems the Hayward Aqua Rite SWG door was closed but not latched and all kinds of water got in there. When I checked the chlorine this afternoon is was very low - like 1 or 2 where I keep it more at 6 or 7. It seems the swg...
