I didn't have a fresh test kit at the beginning of this pool year, so I went to Leslie Pool and had them test my pool water. To my surprise, they had this gizmo that tested the water. I never trusted the summer help. They ran the test, and of course I needed a few things to balance my water. I...

What is Floc?

Just for a data point, my pool has a Jandy VS that I have no reason not to believe is as old as the pool, 15+.

And clean your filter a time or two or three. ;)

Pool Newbie? I know how you feel, been there and still doing that. If I were you, I'd start by cleaning the filters, baskets and screen, also the net trap on the Polaris. If you want, leave the hose off of the Polaris port and blow everything out, then use the net to get as much as you can...

Why would you want to switch the board if it still works, even if it you put a new T-15 Cell on? If your asking if you can switch the board to a new one and still have it work with the T-15 Cell, why not. What you're asking isn't very clear. Hmm, now I feel the need to check my pool. :)

I like the Car Talk reference.

Hi Bryan, I don't have any information for you, but I am interested in what you are wanting to do. I have the same set-up.

I don't know how much came from tap water, but my point was the use of liquid chlorine adding salt to the pool water.

I'm just now bring back up a SWG that is installed on my pool previously. I did a complete drain and fill 2 years ago and have been using liquid chlorine since. I just received my salt tester and my pool already has 1690 ppm of salt. I'm already half way to what I need when I fire up the SWG.

Hi zea3, I'm guessing the wall is threaded. I will find out when I re-attach it. I'll try tomorrow if I don't have to get into the pool. LOL

Make sure you don't have excessive build up in the cell. I'm just getting into bringing up the system that was on my pool before I bought the house and the cell looks like in might never have been cleaned. Time and experience will tell on that, but if the build up is on the thermocouple that...

Thanks kimkats! I will be re-installing it, just wasn't sure if I had a bigger issue with it not being on.

Re:  Will going salt help with algae? A pHin Discussion Saltwater bad for copper, better not let my water softener hear that. ;) SWG conversion, my guess, system around ~$1000, installation, you do the work, ~$200

How much is the Hayward Super Pump VS without the install? What is the lowest you can find it for? What is the price difference from their quote. If both the motors are 220v, then wiring would not be much different, if at all. In the end, I would do it my self, but that is person dependent.
