Sorry for taking so long to come back, I've been a bit busy. So the leak in question is circled in red. I don't have a picture of the hose spigot, but it does have a backflow preventer. It's the one that threads on to the existing spigot and releases water when the hose is closed to relieve...

I have an interesting problem. Every time I top off the pool using a hose, water starts to leak from what I think is the fill valve where all the pool equipment is. It only leaks when I fill via hose and stays dry the rest of the time. I will add that I've filled up with the hose twice in a...

Thanks everyone and sorry for taking so long to reply, life got in the way. I do think that what is happening is that there's just too much UV and the SWG needs help. It has been very hot today. Because I'm at the limit with CYA, this weekend I will switch to liquid chlorine. Should I SLAM to...

I'm having a strange issue. For the past few days, the SWG cannot produce enough chlorine. In the winter I ran it at 10-30% and it did just fine. I assumed that I would have to bump it up to 80% in the summer and it would be great. However, for the past few days I've had it at 100% and it cannot...

Updating. I was out for about 2 weeks. During that time, the pool folks came by and flipped the SWC so now arrows are pointing in the right direction. Things have gotten better, but I think there is still some work to do. I can prime the pump just fine, but the basket will only fill all the...

No worries; the thread is kind of all over the place anyway as I try to figure out what the heck is wrong with my system with the help of folks on this awesome forum. The pool guy that was sent by the pool builder to start the pool had to connect some sort of device to register it. I can't...

Wait, are you saying the entire fitting is backwards? I thought you meant the cell that you can take out to clean, but you're referring to the entire housing?? I went out and checked and indeed, it seems to be backwards. The pipe that feeds it is coming from the heater which I believe is the...

You gave me hope, but no I checked and it is inserted correctly. The arrow in the cover matches the arrows in the body as well as arrows in inlet/outlet.

Yes, I lubed it with silocone grease when I opened it up to clean it. I also cleaned and inspected the o-ring. Seemed OK. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing it. I agree that it sort of perpetuates the myth, but the explanations on TDH are great.

Ok, updating. I went ahead and pulled the filters to clean them. They weren't in terrible shape: I opted for a quick hose down and they ended up like this: I did find some rust on this thing: Something interesting happened: Pressure is now up!!! You can see in previous photos that...
