James, it's a bit of a saga but I'll try and summarize it from the start. I attempted to order a cell on the CP website, payment method was paypal. I never got an order confirmation or any notification at all. Paypal was showing no transaction either. I figured maybe there is a bug in their...

They tried put it through - twice. My bank denied the charges.

Man you have a lot more patience in your research than I do! I did see the dunn and bradstreet profile but that's as far as I went.

I put in an order for a new cell on the cirupool website in Houston. Never heard a word back from them. My payment method was Paypal. Never heard from Circupool. I got in touch with DSP and ordered a cell from them. DSP was great. Im befuddled though as the attempt to charge my debit card...

PSA - Ive never heard of POOLBIDS in Tomball Texas, but my bank let me know they tried to charge my debit card for 763$- Twice So be on the lookout I googled them and there is no info available about POOLBIDS and they don't have a website. EDIT: Apparently as per the comments below, this...

No matter what brand, a salt cell can go bad in a short period of time for seemingly no reason. I had a Pentair IC60 that lasted 8 years. I replaced it and the replacement went bad in 18 months. For the price of a new IC60 cell, I could by a whole new Circupool SWG, so that's what I did. The...

you are experiencing a similar situation as I am right now but my system is not a Hayward.

Hi Fitch. If you don't have a Taylor K1566 Salt Test Kit, I suggest you get one. If you want a real salt level of the water, this kit is it. Its certainly possible for the SWG system to report one level, and the test kit to report another. Slight differences are OK and expected, but if there...

Well Im glad someone is happy with their support. I bought the CP system directly from the CP based in Houston on the CP Website. Took them 10 days to ship it. Probably would have taken longer if I hadn't called them on the phone. The guy I spoke to was nice, but he didn't have an answer as...

I live in Texas and start my pool up in Mid March. 13000 Gallons. In mid July or early August, I usually have to add 4 bags of salt. Depending on how much rain and overflow you get is the biggest factor on when and how much salt to add. My pH is as stable as can be ranging from 7.2 to7.5 and...

I have no problem letting you know why Im not claiming warranty. On Saturday, I went to circu pool website, I ordered a new cell and sent them a message to their customer support. As of yet, Ive no confirmation on my order or reply to the message. So you might imagine what my opinion of...

Thanks for the reply. My cell type setting is correct, cell is clean, etc. ... I ordered a new cell a few minutes ago. I guess I'll see how that goes eh?....

It will probably be OK. Have you turned it back on yet? Do you have any alarms? Have you tested the salt level to make sure its good? Is it making chlorine? If your salt level is good, your water flow is good, you dont have any alarms and it's making chlorine, then you should be good to go.

So I want to post a couple of issues re: my CircuPool RJ+ 30. 1st and most concerning to me. The system is grossly incorrectly reporting the salt level. Ive thoroughly cleaned the cell and that did make a small difference, but it is just small. although I could not visually see any scaling on...

My original SWG was pentair. The cell lasted 8 years. Replaced the cell in 2019 for 800$. That one lasted 3 years and failed in 2022 A new IC 60 cell by then was 1300. Yikes! For 1300 I could replace the entire system with a CircuPool RJ+ 30, so thats what I did. Replacement cell today for...

Just throwing this out there because of what I experienced. Make sure the hoop is under all of the hooks. If you accidentally miss one, you'll never be able to tighten the screw all the way.

I sympathize with you on the 3 year longevity of the cell. My first IC60 cell lasted 8 years and I was happy with that. I replaced it for about 800$ and that one lasted 3 years. Another replacement by then had increased in p;rice to 1300, and for 1300 I could replace the whole system, so...

The forecast is not favorable for viewing the eclipse from my part of Texas. Starting on Plan B tomorrow.

If no diving board, then don't go 8 feet. 6'6" would be fine and lessen the angle of the slope. The slope can be a little slippery though, no matter if it's steep or not, but it's not bad. The rest of what your PB told you is sensible to me. On your No. 4. No. Also in the shallow end. 3...

mg, something is wrong with your testing. Adding 100kg of salt to 65000 Litres will raise the ppm by 1534.

Is your filter clean? I had a similar experience that believe it or not turned out to be due to my filter being extremely dirty. Yes, shame on me. I cleaned the filters and the problem was solved. To check to make sure all your above ground plumping and pump lid aren't leaking.... Get a...

Hi Sheridc, Welcome to TFP! First of all, TFP is an easy way for pool owners to take care of their own pools. The pool stores are in business to make money. They will use all sorts of jargon to sell you something expensive that really will not help you. Also, TFP does not trust Pool Store...

Sam, The THP column is Total Horse Power. If you like and want to keep on with 011018 although discontinued, there are some New Old Stock out there. You just have to find them. I have the same one and I had to replace mine last summer. I got my pump from ePoolSupply.com

Exciting stuff eh? Something that I really like while doing water testing is a bottle that you can control how much water comes out of it. Its pretty easy to overfill a tube and then have to get water out with a turkey baster or syringe or start over. I use this one and love it because of...

I'm ready! I have all my stuff ready too!

My new light bulb showed up today and I put it in. The diameter of it is smaller than my old one. Maybe by 25%. I didn't expect that, but OK. Now I gotta wait until it gets dark to see if I wasted any more money or not. Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock.... ⌚⌚⌚

Yup. Lesson learned and I guarantee ya it won't happen again. What they call 50 lbs of Calcium Chloride cost me 24$ which is half the cost of everyone else. But in reality, I paid 24$ for a bag of salt !!!!!!!!!!!! That's what gets my goat the most. I guess that's what I get for trying to...
