Hi, For a month now my six year old AquaRite stopped generating chlorine. I purchased a new Hayward T-15 cell, and replaced the old one, but the "Generating Chlorine" LED only lights up after start up and then turns OFF. The Check Salt LED turns RED, and Inspect Cell LED turns orange. My system...

Hi, I just had my pool opened yesterday, and noticed today (about 24 hours later) that my filter pressure is higher than last year, when the pool was actually more dirty at opening (as I opened later). I saw one of the guys with the bucket with white liquid in it, but did not connect that they...

Hi, With Spring rapidly approaching, I am itching to open my pool soon. I usually open it in the middle of April (I have a mesh grid cover, so it takes 2-3 weeks for water to clear), but I am thinking of opening it sooner this year, maybe even towards the end of March. I have a gas heater and...

Hi, I just replaced my DE filter with the biggest Cartridge filter on the market (Hayward SwimClear C7030). 725 sq. feet. My pool guy replaced it on Tuesday morning, and as of today (after about 90 of hours of filtering), the pool is still the same as it was on Tuesday, i.e. a little cloudy. I...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experience with Sta-Rite cartridge filters (I am interested in SM850, 500 sq feet). I was talking to my Pool Store guy about Cartridge filters, and the store manager strongly recommended Sta-Rite, saying that they are far better than either Pentair or Hayward...

Hi, I have a mesh grid pool cover, so every Spring when I open my pool, the water is dirty and black, and I have to clean my DE filter several times before the water finally becomes blue (right now it's light green). So, I had enough of it, and decided to go with a bigger filter. Since I have...

I have searched for the largest DE filter I can buy, and I came up with two candidates 1. Pentair Quad DE 100 2. Hayward DE7220 Pentair is 100 sqf which is bigger than Hayward's 72 sqf, but couple of pool stores I contacted do not carry Pentair (they do have Hayward). Now, I looked at the...

Hi, I have two problems that may or may not be related: 1. No matter what the weather is, water always goes through solar panels, which should not happen (should only go if the water temperature in solar panels is at least 5 degrees higher than in the pool). 2. When I start filtering...

Hi, My filter does not seem to work. When I turn it on, after an hour or so there is no water flow, even though filter pressure did not increase. The pump is running fine when I am in circulation mode. I got new grids last summer, and acid cleaned them last weekend, after which I put 10 coffee...
