I have an Aquarite T3 SWG. It is reading 2000 salt level and saying that it is low salt and therefore not generating chlorine. I bought some new test strips and brought my water to the pool place. Both agree that my salt is actually on the high side. I followed the procedure at...

I just purchased an Intermatic 104 timer and went to go install it. From the wiring diagram, it appears that I'm supposed to put one wire to lead #1 and one to #3. The problem is, that I've got two wires coming in to the box. One is 110, and one is 220. It seems like I need two 110 wires...

I just purchased a T104 timer that I'd like to have my pump run on. When I put my meter across the terminals, I see that the pump is 220 and the SWG is 110. Do I need to buy two separate timers?

The previous owners of my home plugged the SWG and pump directly into my breaker box. To turn it on you actually have to flip a breaker. Now I would like to add a timer to the mix so that I can have it run for only certain hours of the day. Is it ok to simply put a timer box in there and add...

We had a freeze last month where I live. I had kept the pool equipment running to minimize the amount of standing water that I had and hopefully minimize any damage that might occur. Since then, my pool has started leaking at the rate of about 1/4" of water per day. It leaks by about the same...

Well, for starters I've done one slam on my pool after another for about 2 months. Something is obviously not working right on my system. My swg is old, could be that. However I mentioned my woes to someone at work who also owns a pool. He told me that fiberglass can actually deteriorate at some...

Ok, so I just passed the TFP SLAM procedure and test this Tuesday (as in, two days ago). Now I get home from work today and my FC is 0 and my pool is milky. So far I've done a backwash and dumped some bleach in there. Having done that an hour ago, here are my current readings: CL = 5 ppm CA...

I think I know the answer to this already, but being a pool newbie I figured it doesn't hurt to double check. The last three days my FC has been 0. I shock it, my FC goes up, then the next day it is back down to 0. Does this mean I need to SLAM it?

Good morning all, With the help of TFP, I've already taken the pool a long way from where it was. Here is what I've managed to do so far: Bring it (chemically speaking) to the proper levels. 200 lb. of salt! Deep clean the sand filter Removed more leaves and bugs than I thought were possible...

Hi everyone. I have a few questions, but for now a little background. We just purchased a house with a neglected pool. I'm trying to get it up to speed. For now I'm trying to set up my signature, but how can I tell if it is vinyl, fiberglass, Intex, etc?
