No expert, but if its your third season I'm gonna say the cell is out. I've replaced mine 3 times in 6 years.

Pool Factory has great pools, I just bought the Saltwater LX and am very pleased with it.

I recently went from an 22' Intex to a 21' Saltwater LX pool. I really like the pool, except one thing. On my Intex I installed a through the wall skimmer, but it also had a lower intake about 10" below the skimmer level. It was great because if my water went to low in my skimmer I didn't...

I just ordered a new cell for mine today after fighting the low salt indicator the end of all last summer. I knew my cell was out because I could usually see the water get cloudy coming off of the cell, and it was as clear coming off the cell now as it was going into the pipe. And I also used...

I have searched and couldn't find anything only a post about bonding a Sharkline Matrix that has only metal walls. My Saltwater LX is different as it has resin top and bottom rail with metal uprights and metal wall. I am unsure how to bond besides running wire to each one of the 14 legs to a...

I am hoping to start my pool bottom foam insulation tomorrow, but I am having a hard time figuring out the best way to accurately cut the foam for my 21ft round saltwater LX agp . I tried to search, but couldn't find any answers. It looks like from pictures people are cutting it with the walls...

This is my 4th AGP, but only my second in this location. The previous pools have all been intex the one that was previously in this spot was an intex 22' ultra frame that I've had for 4 years and was left up year round and covered in winter. This year I decided to upgrade and purchased a 21'...

Re: Think my pump is too big, but would like others opinion/ Ok replaced filter with new Pentair SD 80 and 350lbs of new sand and STILL having problems. I think I am using the wrong sand, I have been using the Quikrete Pool filter sand from Home Depot and I think its sand particles are too...

Re: Think my pump is too big, but would like others opinion/ Just going by the ratings on the pump. I assumed it would be atleast that, I have 2" plumbing and not a very long runs. Here are the specs for my pump.. Voltage 115 Port Size 1 1/2" Cord Size 6' Ctn. Qty. 1 Ctn. Weight 25 lbs. H.P...

Re: Think my pump is too big, but would like others opinion/ I didn't think so either I have seen bad gaskets (was a GM technician for 13 years) and this one looked ok to me. But then again I have never seen a new gasket to compare it to. I really think my filter is just to small and I am...

Re: Think my pump is too big, but would like others opinion/ Here are some pictures of my gasket, what do you guys think? I found a source for the plug and gasket assembly, and a new spring for about $40, I am guessing I should probably replace those and see what happens.

Re: Think my pump is too big, but would like others opinion/ Well I thought I had this figured out choked the pump down and it seemed to work but pool was fairly clean. We have had sand storms all week and pool has been super dirty today tried to vacuum with valve still choked down and sand...
