Hi, I have been fighting heavy iron stains in my fiberglass pool for the last two years. My setup is fairly simple. 10000 gallons fiberglass pool Hayward sand filter Hayward 1 HP maxflow pump Hayward SWG My pool is filled with city water which doesn't contain iron. I even got it tested to...

Hi, I just replaced my 8 years old T-3 cell with a brand new one as it was no longer producing chlorine and displaying LOW SALT (300). Upon replacing it with a new T-3 cell, it instantly started generating cell and the salt level was accurate (2800). Now, for the past 24-36 hours, the AquaRite...

Hi, I have just completed an ascorbic acid treatment to get rid of my iron stains. I have raised water as much as possible and the treatment so far is successful. That being said, I still have a waterline stain which I tried to remove with magic eraser to no success. The stain is light but you...

Hi! My aqua rite was producing chlorine as expected and was displaying 2800-3300 salt which is accurate to my salt test strips. Suddenly and overnight, my cell is no longer producing chlorine and my salt reading dropped from 2800-3300 to 300. Is this consistent with a dead cell ? Serial...

Hi, I recently (3 years ago) bought a new house with a 16x25 fiberglass pool (10 000 gallons) and I am having recurring Iron Stains issue which comes back at least once or twice every season. It covers the entire submerged fiberglass which becomes yellowish. Before I start my acid ascorbic...

Hello, I have a fiberglass which has some heavy stains throughout and I think I would need some assistance to resolve the problem. FC: 0 (was previous 5, but brought down to 0 for Acid treatment) CC: 0 CH: 225 (need to increase) TA: 70 CYA: 30 (will bring up once stains are removed) PH: 7.2...

Hello :) Long story short, I bought a new house which had an existing pool and when I opened my pool last year, I was under the impression my sand filter had some issues as it took a LOT of time to get my water clean versus my previous pool with the same amount of water. Maybe i'm just crazy...

Hello, I have an Hayward MAX-FLO pump rated at 15AMP on 115V which is going to be connected to a 20 AMP breaker. Can I also connect my Hayward Aqua-Rite SWG with a T3 cell which has a 1.3 to 4.5 AMP on the same circuit ? Would 15 AMP + 4.5 AMP too much for a 20AMP breaker ? Thank you kindly,

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer! I am new to fiberglass pool and my pool has been having a lot of spots which I can't seem to be able to remove with brushing and has also started to get some rusted small dots at many places. FC: 5 CH: 250 TA: 70 CYA: 30 (I will raise...

Good day :) This is my first "fiberglass" pool and I have started a SLAM last night. My water is super cloudy. My pool is a small 12 x 24 ~5700 gallons with sand filter. Before my SLAM: FC: 2 PH 7.5 CH: 250 TA: 60 CYA: 55 For my SLAM I am aiming FC: 22. Pool math told me to put 8.2 liters...

Hi Folks, I have a fairly small 15' round pool in my backyard. 15' round with 54'' walls. My first question would be how much water I have in litres ? Close to 22 000 Litres I assume ? Now for my numbers, my pool was green. I did a SLAM and now pool is crystal clear. Here are my final numbers...

Good day, I am a new member of TFP and so far I really enjoy browsing this forum. I am a new owner of a 15' round above ground pool and just filled it up with water. I have a Hayward Low Salt Water Generator (Hayward Aqua Trol RJ Low Salt). In the manual they recommend the following: Salt...

Good day ! I am looking to replace my current above ground pool pump with a new one. The pool pump they gave me is a "no name" brand 2 speed pump. It does make a LOT of noise, even on the lowest setting. My pool is a 15' round above ground pool. Unfortunately, the pump is located about 4 feet...

Good day, We have purchased a new pool which is a small above ground 15' pool. We also decided to go with the Hayward Aquatrol Low Salt system. My goal would be to use a timer to run the pump ~ 12 hours a day from 7 am to 7 pm. However, from what I can see, there is no flow switch with this...
