    Help Choosing Hayward SP3215X20 Impeller

    Thanks for the info, James. I did notice that while my current impeller is labelled SPX3215C, it is also stamped 15C2 on the other side. The pictures I am seeing online show a stamping of 15C1. I am sure I am overthinking this. Hopefully I can find these parts locally...seems like no one...

    Help Choosing Hayward SP3215X20 Impeller

    I am in need of replacing the impeller on my SP3215X20. It has a 2HP "Max Rated" motor. The current impeller in it is a SPX3215C. However, in the manual (https://www.hayward-pool.com/assets/documents/pools/pdf/manuals/TriStar.pdf), it lists this part as being a "Impeller for 1 ½ HP with...

    Polywood Furniture

    Looks like you guys are faring better than I did last year. I ordered from polywood-furniture.com in May 2020 and the item was stated as Quick-Ship which, it stated, ships within 1-3 days. My card was charged immediately. After a couple weeks with no updates, I tried to call but a message...

    Broken Booster Pump and questions

    My 4 year old booster pump is making lots of noise. I am guessing it is the bearings. At first, I figured I'd replace the motor and be done, however, it is proving to be a puzzle as to what I should do since I am having a hard time figuring out what I have and what I should replace it with...

    Can algae affect a salinity reading ?

    Doe you know how one goes about "calibrating" the cell"? I have the same salt cell as you and mine is reading 3-400 ppm low. I know because I used the salt strips as well as the Taylor drop kit. I inspected the cell and it looked fine. I've cleaned the cell with an acid mixture to be sure...

    Murky water at opening...anyway to prevent this at closing?

    My equipment is in my signature: 30,000g IG Quartz Goldline Aqua Logic SWG Hayward SwimClear Cartridge Filter AquaComfort Heat Pump The pool company never disconnected my pump. Is this just added insurance? Thanks again.

    Murky water at opening...anyway to prevent this at closing?

    I am a newer pool owner. The past 2 years, I had the pool company close my pool. I am thinking about closing the pool myself this year. The past 2 openings, the water was dirty. I have a solid cover, but I also have a rock wall which has slight gaps between it and the cover. I end up with...

    Low pressure error on heat pump

    I have a 2 year old pool with an AquaComfort electric heat pump. The heater was working fine last year, but I have not used it at all this year. I tried to turn it on yesterday and I am getting a low pressure error. This year, I decided to open the pool (and maybe close it) myself. I had the...

    High Salt Tests, First Readings, and Newbie!

    The problem was that it wasn't making chlorine as it was shutting down due to high salt levels. The problem has been solved. It turns out that the system was configured incorrectly. It was setup as if it was the smaller salt cell when in fact it was the model for larger pools. After, it was...

    Newbie needs help with SWG and salt levels

    I have a GoldLine Aqua Logic SWG. Can these be calibrated? It states in the manual the operating range is 2700ppm - 3400ppm.

    High Salt Tests, First Readings, and Newbie!

    I am in the same boat as you. I am trying to figure out my new SWG and it seems to read high, as well, when compared to the test strips. It is looking like it is about 1000ppm high and I am not quite sure what to do about it. Originally, I added 700lbs of salt while the chart was instructing...

    Shocking the pool...is my FC gonna be too high to swim in?

    I had the pool company test my water...I posted them in another thread: http://www.troublefreepool.com/newbie-needs-help-with-swg-and-salt-levels-t12494.html While their number are a bit off in some spots, it doesn't appear that I need to shock. I think I am gonna focus on getting my SWG...
