    Circupool "low temp" and "flow lights" both red, no chlorine generated

    SWG stopped working. Both "low temp" and "flow" lights are red. Temp is 83, flow is high. Disassembled cell; everything looks fine. Disassembled flow switch, everything also looks fine. Opened panel box and found some water in the bottom of the box; dried it. Nothing has helped. Any ideas?

    Intermittent "flow" light issues - RESOLVED

    Installed new Circupool SJ-20 this season and can't get it going right. The "flow" light turns from green to red every few minutes, stopping the chlorine generation, then turns green a few minutes later. I've checked the electrical connections and they all appear to be fine. I've opened up the...

    What IS this stuff? Algae, pollen, dead algae??

    I need help determining what I'm dealing with. I have a greenish/yellowish substance collecting at the bottom of my pool (not the walls) in considerable quantities. I've been reading all the threads on mustard algae and pollen, so I know it doesn't sound like mustard algae - no difference in the...

    Small particles not being filtered by sand filter

    When we opened the pool this year, we had a lot of algae. SLAMed it, then had a bunch of dead algae at the bottom. When I'd vacuum it up, you'd see a cloud coming out of the returns. Figured something was broken inside my sand filter, so I had the service tech come out. He took everything apart...

    Opened the pool and having some issues. 1) Water won't clear up - very cloudy after a week and a half or two weeks despite SLAM. 2) Still debris on the bottom. Left hubby in charge last week while I was out of town, so I thought he just didn't vac enough. Did it tonight and there's yuck...

    How do you secure a 10' drive-through gate in a wooden privacy fence?

    Pool's in an fantastic, now it's time to pass inspection. Have a fence gate that's got me stymied. We have a six foot wooden privacy fence around the yard with a ten foot wide drive gate. Two five foot wide panels meet in the middle and latch (poorly) together. I'm willing to redo that section...

    Ideal chlorine level:Where did the CYA / FC table come from? Looking for verification

    Our pool was new at the end of last summer. I like what I hear on TFP and think I want to follow the protocol given here, but frankly I'm scared. Everything else I read tells me the chlorine level should be low (1-3ppm) and doesn't mention CYA at all. The one site I found that did mention it...

    Gas heater sizing for 28' AGP

    Soon-to-be owners of a 28' AGP. Buying a gas heater because we want to extend the swimming season from 5/1 - 9/31 in Rochester, NY (average temperature in May is 57 degrees). The salesman who sold us the pool insists 125 BTU gas heater is sufficient. He says online calculators are for IGPs which...
