    Autopilot not producing chlorine and Tri-Sensor - removal

    I've visited the link above and followed the instructions, but no go. I didn't want to put too much force on the assembly in case I break it and have no replacement. Yes, algae outbreak after I added salt, chlorine, stabilizer, acid. This led me to believe there is something definitely wrong...

    Autopilot not producing chlorine and Tri-Sensor - removal

    Good afternoon, Thank-you for your response and insight, I've reached the conclusion my SWG is not generating FC is because I added salt and replaced new cell. If the Tri-Sensor is old (rusted out) and need to be replaced then the system will not produce FC even if its a small amount. To my...

    Good morning All, I have not been able to get my SWG running as it should be... I added 80# of pool salt previous weekend and this weekend I have algae. I replaced cell (R35-22) and cable last month. I tried to remove the Tri-Sensor and I can not get that thing out. I removed the whole assembly...

    Autopilot Soft Touch SWG - Min flow Rate

    Hi all, I found this interesting and just happened to found the solution or I think I found the solution to the problem. Story time... After installation of Hayward Max-Flo VS pump, SWG isn't working properly and I started to get algae. Took a sample to Pinch A Penny and they told me I needed...

    Hayward Nav Pro - Gear Box replacement?

    Hi All, I have Hayward Navigator Pro cleaner and I've noticed it doesn't rotate around the clear attachment as freely a before. You know the clear pipe where you attach the hose. Before I can turn it quite freely but now not as much. This affect its movement in the pool. I have enough hose to...

    Pump have weak suction - please help.

    Yup, 2 ponies for the the heater, SWG, in-floor cleaning, 2 water falls, two bottom drains, skimmer and three returns. How do I size for a new filter, if this too small? And caretaker needs a rebuild, making noise and pressure fluctuate between cycle. The house was built in 2003, not sure when...

    This was not the case earlier. Without the filter, flow is very strong. I'll be spraying down the filter again. And hope this is the case. Will keep you posted.

    I last vacuum two weeks ago; I cleaned the filter before I cleaned out the reservoir basket. I removed the filter and ran the pump, pressure at cartridge is reading 30 psi. I guess I need to really, really spray down the filter again. The pump is fully prime too.

    I don't think I have a waste line installed. I think I have a clean-out pipe but I also think it glued shut. I'll open everything up and have a quick inspection.

    Pump have weak suction - please help.

    I love Reddit, but no account. Afraid I would be forever lost in the worm hole. These are grout fallen apart from my glass wall, they're pretty sharp. I think these got to the pump via Robotic Cleaner I used to vacuum up dust and sand from the bottom of the pool. I thought is a No,No to go...

    Pump have weak suction - please help.

    Thanks JB, These are the stuff I removed from the reservoir strainer basket. Sorry, no banana for scale. The piece of concrete is pretty big. looks like I have to pull the pump apart. Without model/serial #, it would hard to find impeller replacement. Lets just hope there's some sort of marking...

    Pump have weak suction - please help.

    I also noticed the pressure on the filter is pretty high. Its @ 38 psi; shouldn't it be around 30-32 psi? (psi set @30, max out @ 40 psi) I changed the filter this past summer, mind you not HAYARD brand. Its from HD… At this flow rate I can't divert any flow to the Caretaker99. When diverted...
