    New cell does not show salt level.

    I installed a Circupool Gen-15 cell to replace my dead Aquarite-Rite T15 cell. It had been working fine with a knock-off board for many years. These are the readings: -4.80 88-4 r8.80 3.50 22 24.9 7.75 100P Generating light on check salt and check cell are off.

    I guess I had it with AquaRite. Recommendation for a different cell.

    Between the replacements of the Thermistor, the new boards, now it's the burn of the Molex 10 pin part with the same issue on the connector on the cell. I will not be able to solder this thing myself even if I ordered both parts. What would be the best option for a 27000 gallon pool?

    Small piles of dead algae back in system through jets.

    I have been brushing the pool with light algae but it seems that some are back at the bottom through jets. I vacuum it in the deep end using a canister with a bag, but I guess some is not stopped by the grids during the day. They might need be replaced. No DE comes out after backwash. What...

    Pool was just replastered, bumps around jets and poor finish under tiles

    Filling up the pool and noticed big bumps around jet, not flat at all. Normal? In the deep end (10ft), it seems that it was not easy to reach the bottom of tiles and create a nice line as opposed to other areas of pool. Far more plaster on the left side and poor finish on right. Can they sand...

    Concrete slabs sinking around pool. What could be done?

    Hello, Trying to figure out the best options to replace concrete slabs sinking around pool. Rain water ending up in back of pool area, decay of roots from removed trees?

    No power, generating lights on Aquarite. Replaced the thermistor...

    Worked fine for three days. Same issues again. No power/gener.. green lights. Could this part be bad after such a short time? The box takes a lot of sun during the afternoon, living in Houston, good idea to move it inside garage?

    1.5 HP or 2 HP pool pump? 27000 gal pool

    Need to change this cheap pump made in China which brought pressure in filter from 10 to 5 . Not a lot coming out of jets. The pipes are 2" wide reduced to 1.5" for fitting on pump. The 1.5 HP original Hayward pump used to run for 8h to 10h in summer. Would a 2 HP pump make a difference ? What...
