Where are you getting a good deal on T-cell-15 replacement cells?

Hi I have the FL-5 error code which usually means a brownout or low power condition. I have given it the 3 min to reset itself and still an issue. I have tested the incoming power at A and B and reads 123V and 123V. Every reading from step 1 to 6 is not 24VAC but 27VAC, not sure if that makes...

All, So about to get this baby hooked up. I have read two pool school articles about what it is in general and how to water balance so I think I will be able to roll once I get it hooked up from a PH, CYA perspective, but I have some general questions of ignorance. 1. What salt do I buy, just...

So I am finally about to take the plunge get us a SWG, this forum has been very helpful to me to understand what this is. I am studying Hayward currently and cannot tell the difference between these two models. I know you have to get a cell for both. Is one just an older model and they do the...

Trying to SLAM, I’m on my fifth day clear, and it seems like we are still using a lot of chlorine. The pool has been scrubbed and swept several times. I’m looking for ideas as to what could be the issue, what am I missing? I have scrubbed out the skimmers, I have scrubbed out the rope anchors...

That is the question. The sock method is kind of a pain for me as I believe I have a small leak in the lines somewhere, so I have to add CYA more often than I would like. If I could just get it into the sand filter would it not dissolve there? My thoughts are to pour it in slowly into the...

So I am dry running my install by looking at and removing some of my current equipment. I found that my U-strip that ties in my liner to my steps was installed with the wrong screws for 4 of them. They have rusted, I have not tried to remove them yet as I do not want to break them off and then...

So wondering how serious it is to drain a liner pool for replacement. I know what can happen to a gunite pool where it poops out of the ground, but what about vermiculite bottom vinyl pool with metal walls? We have had 10 in total of rain in the last 30 days, the last 2 week we got 5 of those...

Hi, I am about to replace my liner and I have this type of pool light. I think the light may be broken but am not sure, it does not light right now but the water is below the light at this time. The O-ring between the light and the liner is shot so I at least need a new one of those, and I...

All, Late last year we started having difficulty getting the pool clean. I can't remember if it went green on us over a vacation or what happened but we ended up with a white cloudy pool that we eventually gave up on and closed green. We opened the pool 14 days ago. Put floc in it...

All, I just went out to my pool I winterized 5 weeks ago, just to check. Water dropped 2 feet in 5 weeks. I am so low now not sure if i will cause a major rip filling it back up, but at the same time, if I don't refill I may loose all water, and can my pool pop out of the ground?. It is a...

All, We are going to have a major freeze event in okc here in about 2 days. When I winterized my hot tub last year I removed the drain plugs but could not get them back in this spring, so I had to put in an oversize plug to stop the leaking. I believe that if I pull those plugs again I will be...
