Recently had the pool refinished (PebbleTec) and after refill the flows are sluggish. Pressure washed the filter, no change. I am wondering if there is a bunch of debris from the resurfacing in the return or outflow to pool. anyone ever heard of this?

Had the above hayward heater installed about a year and a half ago. Of course no longer under warranty and now the temperature control buttons don't work (meaning you can't turn the temp setting up or down). When pushed nothing happens and it continues to show water temperature. No error...

Tested my tap water. 0.6 ppm.

I recently had a salt water generator installed and got a FAS-DPD kit today. I have been using a Taylor kit without FAS-DPD and my test always read a PPM of about 2 trying to match the pink. With the FAS-DpD test I first filled to 25 ml added two scoops and started titrating. I get to 35 and...

I have a spa replacement bulb that is an R20 that fits. I would like to put in a colored bulb except all the colored r20 bulbs are too long. So was wondering from an electrical point of view, can any medium base bulb go into a medium base socket as long as it stays at or under the watt limit...

Yes the box on top of the intermatic timer is the solar box (aqualink II) that regulates the flow valve to the panels based on set temperatures. The white box is obviously the SWG box. You can see where each flex whip is running.

Oops! Corrected the spelling. Made me laugh out loud. I have a pump, solar, and SWG. Can all these be wired to the timer?

[attachment=0:22nkpdhe]photo-8.jpg[/attachment:22nkpdhe] Had a SWG installed and wanted to make sure this looks correct? The pool is controlled by an Intermatic timer. The pool pump and my solar power box are wire directly to the timer. When they installed the Hayward SWG control box they...

I need to change the bulb on my spa light. It is a pentair light and calls for an r20 bulb. I would like to put in a colored bulb but the three that I have bought are all a centimeter or two longer than the one in there. I would have thought all r20 bulbs were a standard length?? The r20 is...

We have an in floor cleaning system that we have used for a while. In my opinion these are not that great for cleaning and still requires weekly vacuuming. I prefer the side wall returns since it causes a top water flow and gives movement to pool which I think looks better. We also have a...

Dolphin Triton, Premier, M4 all created equal? Looking into a pool cleaner. Are the above all essentially the same just in a different skin? All have cartridge filters and seem to have the same specs. Also has anyone bought refurbed on eBay with one year warranty?

[Merged by moderator - Please keep your similar topics together, Thanks, jblizzle] Looking into a pool cleaner. I live in florida and the pool is screened so rarely do I have any leaf problems. Mostly sand and small particulate debris from general use and pavers. I have been leaning toward...

I currently have a Hayward heater and am looking to add a SWG and control system like a Jandy. Since I have the Hayward heater am I restricted to Hayward control centers and SWG's or will a Jandy system be able to control the Hayward heater?
