Alrighty then. I didn't know about the 180 minute cycle. That makes things clearer. I'll pick up that salt testing kit tomorrow. Thanks.

Ok, Update. The panel is having issues for sure. The Voltage has a reading of 31.6, but the current is at 0.00. Obviously that makes no sense. The instant salinity is at 0. There are no high salt warnings or any other warnings etc. My TDS meter is the one I use daily for hydroponics and...

Well, I ordered a T-5, and installed it. Looking at it now, it says "T-5" on the side. So I'm pretty sure on that one. Scrolling though the diagnostic gives me the following menu: 1. Pool temp 2. Cell Voltage 3. Cell current 4. Desired output 5. instant salinity 6. Product name sent to the...

It's actually a Aqua Nature. Not sure of the difference. Anyhow, brand new T5 Turbo salt cell. Definitely generating plenty of chlorine, the problem is I have tested the water with my calibrated TDS meter and it is currently at 2700 ppm. The panel says 4500. I've followed the known steps to...

So, I broke this small line on one of the jets while pulling the dead pump out to replace it. I think it's just an air line, but my problem is how to fix it. It's below freezing here, everything is old and brittle and glued together. I can see a real nightmare trying to install a new jet and new...

Hi, my Hayward filter is one of the ones where you can only buy the spider gasket already glued into the key seal. When replacing the gasket alone, you would normally use some kind of gasket goo. Before I go ahead and take it apart, will I be needing any adhesive or sealer, of just mount the new...

Hi everyone, I'd like to thank you for all the helpful advice so far for a new member. Since Sunday, my pool has gone from what could easily be 20K gallons of The Incredible Hulk's vomit, to a nice shade of milky blue (it's getting there). My issue now is that when vacuuming, dirty water is...

Regular laptop. However when I submitted it, it bounced because I used a "swear word" (an anagram of Carp), so I just edited it. Anyhow, things seem to be working now. One more question while I have you: My pressure gauge is broken, I'll have to get one tomorrow as well. I was just going to...

Hey thanks. I figured as much. Can you tell my why my post is all messed up with <br><br> etc appearing in the text or is it just my computer seeing that?

Hey everyone, great forum. I've been digging through it for weeks, but this is my first post. <br><br>Being Canadian, I can't get the TF100 test kit here, so I'm having my brother send it to me from Michigan.It won't arrive for at least another 5 days, but I just couldn't look at the green slime...
