I have been having trouble keeping pressure for waterfalls, cleaners etc etc i think I may have found the issue. Appears to be cracks at this seam? Is this normal for this type of filter? Should I just get some JB weld and go at it? Video here: thanks

Mine is a Hayward Cartridge C200S. It has the red clamp that you depress to tighten the lid. 9 out of 10 times when i close it it has a leak. Is there any tricks to this, am I supposed to line things up, it just never seems to seal correctly. I think the older clamp versions are better thanks...

How much should a 40lb bag of salt raise the Salt Level on a 17,500 gallon pool I only went from 2600 to 2800. Is that right? thanks GTP

Hello All, I can not get the solid red flow to move off that setting. What direction should the flow meter arrow be? Should it flow in direction from pump to the filter or vice versa. I dont think it is the flow meter as all seems good there but i may have to get a new one to troubleshoot...

I have a tall canister filter type, and the bands are starting to break, can you use rubber bands or maybe even hair ties to keep the it together? thanks GTP

I put in about a cup of Muritaic Acid to lower PH in my pool every few days. Does this seem like overkill and do I have another issue going on, or is this about right for a Sought FLorida Pool. I do have bubbler and water fall but rarely use them

I am not proud of this but tonight i dropped a mens regualr size sock (that was about 1/4 full of some stabilizer) into the skimmer and my basket was out.....it sucked the sock right down. I hurried and turned the pump off, what do you think i should do? I am hoping it can make it all the way...

I cant seem to get my waterfalls to produce flow anymore. I do get small trickles of water but not the waterfall effect. Also my vacuum pool cleaner is not having enough juice to move as well. I feel like this is pressure loss somewhere but can not figure this out. I do not appear to be losing...

I had to replace my blue essence T-15 Cell. I got this one after looking at reserach on this forum. PoolSupplyWorld Generic T-Cell 15 Replacement Salt Cell with 15 Foot Cable Store was good, price is right and it appears to have no problem making chlorine. The issue is it does not read salt...

Hello TFPers So how does this work, should the SWG read 0.0 Amps when not producing. I ask because I just replaced my SWG and it reads 25.5 Volts but the Amps read 6.5 down to 6.0 for a while, but when i come back later the Amps read 0.0 I am running above normal chlorine levels (i put a bit...

Hello all, so after 2 1/2 years my salt cell is dead. I was running at 90% for the last month so maybe I fried it. Not sure. I have cleaned it even thought it had very little buildup on it, but it has no amperage so it is dead. My question is, while I wait to get a new one, should i just put...

I have checked all the hoses for clogging and all clear there. It is weird the Zodiac Shakes like it is working when bring off the bottom of the pool, but when the Zodiac hits the bottom of the floor, it stops shaking/sucking and so no cleaning and it does not move. Any ideas? thanks

What do you all suggest to fix this from time to time. I have just been scrubbing with a brush, but should i treat with a chemcial as well to do a better job. thanks GTP

With monthly cleaning and all, realiistically, how long can a filter last. im thinking i can get 18 months out of it? I have a Hayward C200 S Filter. thanks GTP

So we had a good lighting strike near my house in south Florida and now my (2) underwater LED lights dont work. Not sure if this was the cause as I had not run the lights for a long time. I have A GFCI at the electric panel that was NOT tripped. I tried to re set the breakerto the lights...

WE have had a ton of rain here in Florida. So I have been battling with salt water levels. But now i think i got it but My flow switch does not seem to be working now. When my pump shuts off, it still says I am generating Chlorine. I dont think my flow switch is working but is there a way to...

Hello All, been a while since i posted. I couldn't get pump to prime today was taking a while, so I came here and searched and of course came up with some good advice and got her going. I have a bigger issue i think. I cant seem to keep water in the pump basket area and it just drains down to...

My red light would always be on when the pump was off. As soon as pump started and i had flow it would kick off. Now the red light is never on, even when the pump is off. I know it is not a burnt out light by turning off breaker. It works Any ideas what has caused this? thanks GTP

My pool is clean all seems to be good, I clean my filters out at least once a month. I just noticed that the PSI is at 0 on my filter gauge. I think it has always been there but not sure, it is now. I also notice sometimes in my pump skimmer basket i dont always have water all the way to the...
