    Power Washers

    Both gentlemen who help me around the pool say I can use a pressure washer to clean the dirt around the perimeter of my fiberglass pool. Recently we noticed the dirt in the enclosed photo. We tried a 550 psi battery-operated washer and it didn't touch it. Does anyone have an idea on how high a...

    High salt reading

    After 5+ years, I had to replace our Hayward T-CELL-15. Understandable. My issue is the salt level reading keeps increasing both on the outside Pro Logic board and the indoor remote. Since I installed the new cell, the reading has gone up and down from from 3500 to 4700. Conversely, I took a...

    New salt cell

    Accordin' to my pool guy, salt cell quits once the water temp hits around 55. Installer said the pump should go on for 6 hours a day, year 'round, so I change the pump to go on from 10pm 'til 4am - when the temps generally fall to the 33 degree area once the weather REALLY cools off.

    New salt cell

    Next question, please. My pool is around 13,000 gallons, but the installer used the T-Cell-15 for the SWG. Does it make sense to purchase the one more inline with the gallonage, or continue with the T-15? Once again, BIG difference in cost. Thank you.

    New salt cell

    Hayward Goldline Pro-Logic Turbo-Cell, T-Cell-15 is over 5 years old and 10,000 hours. Not generating at all. Pool is covered for the Winter here in StG, but filter is on 6 hours per day, per installer, and for freeze control. Check System light on remote is drivin' me crazy, although pool guy...

    Help with Hayward Pro Logic “check system”

    I have a Hayward Pro-Logic system with salt etc. This is our 5th season. In May I took a water sample to my installation company and they suggested 8 oz. of BIO DEX Phosphate Remover Plus. Since then I've had nothin' but problems. Replaced the cartridges in the filter. Cleaned 'em again...

    Effective Pool Cooling for Hot Climates

    We live in the St. George, UT area. We included a cover in our installation plans. We back up to a 44,000+ acre conservation area and were concerned about wind, weeds and all the new construction. We also use the cover to play the heat game, coverin' or uncoverin' overnight depending on the...
