    Another question on this... I'm now realizing that based on the cell size and our pool, temp, etc. we're going to need to run the pump quite a long time to reach the correct chlorination levels and/or we need to run the cell at maximum output. Both of those don't seem like great options one for...

    Thanks, I'll see how the PH is and see if it's too much of a bother. Re-the cell position -- I was questioning it, but the instruction says it can be placed upside down to help with VS pumps, which we don't have. I had considered putting it upside down thinking it seems like the better option...

    yeah it's this model here. Gas Pool Heater: JXi Pool Heater | Jandy the valve automatically activates the flow when it's running and then switches off when it's not in use. I believe it even allows for some cooldown time. You're correct that it wouldn't allow for any use with the heater out of...

    would you recommend that in addition to the bypass built into the heater? i was able to make very minor modification and get the salt cell in. it appears to be functioning as expected but i don’t know how to verify that other than waiting and testing the water. i am still interested in...

    I went with the hayward t-cell-9 because it’ll work with the omni logic. There’s already a flow switch installed just after the chlorinator currently.

    Hi Everyone, We moved into a house here last October. I've been working on various projects and now the pool is getting some attention... The chlorine feeder is leaking and I decided to replace it with a salt cell with the omnilogic control that I previously upgraded. The heater was replaced...

    Dissolving Tile Grout

    thanks, yeah that’s sort of what i was afraid of. the wall tiles seem solidly intact minus the grout eroding. i may try to replace the tiles just around the ledge. i think the issue is caused by the design/operation of the pool also. they had it setup such that the pool would constantly push...

    Dissolving Tile Grout

    hello there, long time listener first time caller. we recently purchased a new home and didn’t notice that the pool grout is pretty much all dissolving out. i think the owner tried to patch it to hide enough for closing. anyway, i’ve noticed a lot of grout on the pool floor and the spa tiles...
