    Salt pool opening - quick check!

    Yeah we have a short season and we don't have a heater on it yet. Probably at least 2+ weeks before it's warm enough to comfortably swim and September long weekend is usually when it gets cool again. Temp is 70f right now.

    Salt pool opening - quick check!

    Hayward No Flow on Low Speed - Works on High

    Thanks Jim, I don't know why it isn't working like last year (and for the first month of this year ) either! I will disconnect the salt cell and make sure the piping is all clear and there is nothing stuck in or around the return side plumbing. I also clean the filter basket in the pump often...

    Hayward No Flow on Low Speed - Works on High

    Hi All, So 2 days ago my T-Cell-15 chlorinator stopped working (I have the Prologin Panel and rigid plumbing). For reference, I installed everything brand new late July last year so it has <4 months total use on everything. I am getting the error "chlorinator off - no flow". I pulled the...

    Opened pool - crystal clear but need to balance!

    Ok couple days later here's where I'm at: SALT -- 3100 ppm CYA -- 80 PH -- 7.0 TA -- 90 FC -- 8.5 Not sure how chlorine got so high as I only added 1 cup of liquid chlorine 2 days ago! SWG is not turned on. Need to get PH up a couple ticks and FC down I think?? Thanks

    Opened pool - crystal clear but need to balance!

    Sorry, meant to say less than 30 CYA as my tube was full and I could still see the dot! Thanks.

    Opened pool - crystal clear but need to balance!

    We have a 21' AGP with SWG. Pulled off winter cover today and the water was crystal clear and clean! Filling up to proper depth now but tested and looking for advice on what to balance first. I did this last year for the first time but I can't recall exactly. Pool is 10,500 gallons...

    Prologic Panel - Winterize / Cover?

    Thinking more about it now, maybe I should build a plywood box (without a bottom) and put it over the Prologic. That way, it protects the panel from the elements, but will not trap moisture and allow air to circulate.

    Prologic Panel - Winterize / Cover?

    It is on a 4x4 post, in our yard, 6' from fence line, no trees over top or around it. I have a piece of plywood over the top of it right now (temporary until I decide how to make a nicer cover). I don't see any issues with critters, if I cover it, I am concerned about moisture though. I know...

    Prologic Panel - Winterize / Cover?

    Installed a Hayward Prologic for our above ground pool this year. Now I have the pool winterized, covered, pump and multiport are inside, and sand filter is covered. I removed the display panel from my Prologic panel and brought it inside. I'm wondering if I should cover the panel over the...

    Definitive Answer on Winter Cover Pillows?

    Is the pillow/floats just for being able to clear the cover off easier? I saw something about the ice expansion and the pillow/floats acting as some sort of buffer?

    Rigid Foam board

    My foam does not compress when walking on it, but I made my base solid and put compacted crusher fines underneath. Everything was nice and level before putting the foam down.
