My SWG is 5 ohio pool seasons old. Getting a variety of error messages this year since I opened the pool. I am getting the Purifier OFF! No flow. Also getting the Warning bad temp sensor and sometimes getting the add salt xxx lbs. Flow is strong, clear valve seems to be working fine...

I have a two speed Whisperflo pump that I believe I have an airleak, as I can run the pump on high fine, but the strainer basket lowers 2 inches or so after about 2-4 hours when I run it on low. Also, my water is VERY cloudy, at night with the light on it seems obvious that it is just tiny air...

My SWG was installed last fall when my pool was built, and just before closing this year it began making a relatively loud noise. It is mounted against my wall where my bedroom is, and about 2 weeks ago my wife and I began to be woke up by this noise. We tracked it back to the Autopilot. It...

I am closing my new pool by myself this year after the builder helped me last year. We just blew air into the main drain line (pressurized), and then shut of the valve to trap the air in there. I bought a 6.5HP craftsman shop vac, but can't get enough pressure in there (assumuming it is...

My pool has been sparkling clear all summer, I have been just tweaking my Autopilot setting keeping between 3-5 FC levels, and all has been well. 5 days ago it got cloudy, I shocked it (15) but didn't keep it there though, and today it is still cloudy. I thought my shock level was 15, but am I...

Not that I need my heater right now, but I bought the Pentair Whisperflo 2-speed 1 HP pumps so that I can basically run it 24 hours per day on low, and not have to mess with a timer or anything. Well, my Heater displays a message that it has inadequate pressure on the low setting. This makes...

OK, I am one of the lucky people that chose a builder that goes under within 7 months of your pool being built, so TFP is now my ONLY source of information... Albeit, it has alway been much better information! So, My builder installed my sit-n-spa step, with 3 jets last fall. All was well...

OK, I am new and just learning. My pool heated up on me after opening faster than anticipated, and I let my water get green! On Friday 5/23 I brought to pool up to shock level (12-15), and watching it daily keeping it at that level till Saturday 5/31 using regular 6% Bleach. I brushed it...

My father-in-law had a canvas (like a boat cover) cover made and used it to lay over top of his solar blanket when it was on the reel. The canvas was sewed so that it had a sand sleeve to weigh it down when laying on the solar cover. He still needed to replace his solar cover about every 3...

OK, I will be closing my pool(hopefully this weekend), and trying to get up to shock level, but after two attempts and my chlroine disappearing, figured better get to testing!!! Anyway, the TF-100 kit is easy to use, and very nice. Here are my numbers and my thoughts. I had NO CYA, so added...

I posted a similar question a month ago about deciding if I should buy a heater and SWG system now or wait till spring. I figured I might as well buy it now, as waiting did nothing for me from a warranty perspective. I have bought a Jandy 2500 series heater, and an Autopilot Dig-60 SWG. My...

I am very interested in heating my yet to be built pool with Solar. I am stuck now, because my roof that I could use for panels faces NORTH. From what I read, this is basically unacceptable. Here is why I am having a dilema with this. My roof is a large soft pitch flat roof that gets BEAT...

My pool contruction has yet to begin, but will so near the end of August in Ohio. I don't think I will have much if any swimming season this year, so my question is: I am buying either a Autopilot 48 or 60 (about 25K gallon pool). Should I salt and install the system, if I am going to...

I am just getting ready to install a 16X40X24 Grecian L shape vinyl pool. I was thinking of only putting 1 Colorlogic light on the outside edge, near the center of the pool. I was thinking this would cover the entire pool, not leaving any shadow spots. My builder wants to charge me 1000 for...

My pool builder is giving me a quote of $500 for a compressor to pump air into the spa jets of a saratoga step-n-spa step. Is this appropriate? Thanks, Chuck

OK, I am new to the forum, first post. I am in the process of talking to builders and designing my pool. So far, pretty frustrating process, as I am getting very conflicting information from everyone on about everything, and I am very much a researcher for everything I buy, and I am trying to...
