Hi - We are about 10 days in from having new Pebble Sheen installed. When we add chemicals (acid, chlorine) how long should we let the pump run for? I have had it on continuously the first week but have now gone to a regular pump schedule. We do add the chemicals at separate times. Just need to...

Thank you! Just a question on why you would not pre-dilute. I have never pre-diluted acid in my plaster pool but the Pebble Tec start up says to pre-dilute. Just wondering what the pro's and con's are. Thank you again!

Hi - Just had new Pebble Sheen installed. The manufacturers start up procedure says to lower the TA to 80 - 100 (ours is currently at 120) before lowering the PH. Our PH is off the charts and cannot be measured. I used Pool Math to see how much acid I should add to lower the TA but it doesn't...

Hi - We are in the midst of doing a pool remodel going back with Pebble Sheen. We redid the plaster 10 years ago but is there anything different to Pebble Sheen that I should be looking for during their installation and water set up? We are using an authorized Pebble Tec installer recommended...

Hi all - We have hard water and our calcium hardness rises quickly. In the 10 years we have had the plaster installed we have only drained the pool 2 or 3 times to lower the calcium level. I suspect that is a main culprit of the staining (which has really only happened the last few years when I...

Thank you for all the responses. My friend has pebble tec in arctic white in a smooth finish (she couldn't remember what it was called). Does anyone know if a white pebble tec resists staining better than a white strictly plaster finish?

We are getting ready to redo our pool. We are leaning towards pebble tec instead of plaster this time. I was never happy that the plaster didn't stay pristine white. I think a colored pebble tec will staying looking good longer. What should I look for in pebble tec? Does it have to be the...

Ok - thanks everyone. Will review the above info and proceed accordingly. Have a great weekend!

I'm not technical, but the board is 10 years old and stopped working.

Ok thank you!

Ok - thank you. Can you please tell me where the best place to get the genuine Hayward board would be?

It it by Optimum Pool Technologies.

Hello ... I am currently using a Hayward Aqua Rite salt water generator. Today I had to replace the circuit board, which went fine. I did not replace the actual display module as I was advised that was probably ok. However, now that it's installed, some of the display values are...

Thanks for this great thread and info. I have recently had to purchase a new robot, and after having read all the pros and cons in this thread I decided to go with the EVO. It was a good robot, but I had the same problem as one of the other thread contributors - with its ability to pick up...

Hi - We need new pool filters. We currently have Pentair brand but those are pricey. Has anyone used or know about Future Way filters? They are having good Amazon Prime sale today. What other non-Pentair filters have you used that are good?

Salt was measured yesterday at 4000 and the kit is Taylor K1766. Our pump runs 8 hours a day. CYA was at 50 last week so I added some more but still showing 50 yesterday. I have never had FC at 0 but it had been going up and down the last few months, when I put the salt output higher it did...

We had a new motherboard installed in our Aqua Rite Electronic SWG in 2016 and we have installed a new salt cell within the last year. Over the last few months my FC level has been low and I have adjusted the SWG to produce more. Last week my FC was 2.5 and today I couldn't get a reading at all...

Hi everyone ... After taking resetting the board to T-15 and letting it run all day yesterday, the issue is resolved and all levels are now good so I won't be taking any further action. Thanks to everyone for your feedback and guidance!

Yes, it says T-15 on the label. I'm not sure how the board would have reverted to a T-3 reading? I will change it to T-15 and then retake all the levels again.

I'm actually running a T-15 cell. I don't know how it is showing T-3 on the panel. Maybe that's the problem right there? Typically, we run the T-15 during the summers here in the desert from 8a-4p, daily. I will take the cell into the local pool store to have it tested. Thanks.

Move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings. 1300 63 31.3 0.0 35P -0 AL-2 r 1.59 T-3 Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings. 1300 63 25.7 5.76 35P -1700 AL-2 r 1.59 T-3 Move the switch to off for a minute and then back to auto and recheck the readings. 1300...

Our motherboard for the Aqua Rite shows low salt and inspect cell. We cleaned the T-15 Cell and re-installed the cell. I held and reset the diagnostic button per normal procedure to reset the cell. The power light and generating light came on. Then after a few minutes there was an audible click...

I have a Doheny Dolphin that is at least five years old and I bought it refurbished. It has always worked well but now it doesn't seem to be getting the pool as clean as usual. It is still getting the large debris and most of the silt but not all of the silt/sediment. We are using the folded...

Thank you!! :)
