Hi Everyone, I have a PureLine 40k gallon SWG. However the output of the chlorine display only goes up 30p when I turn it all the way to the right and no where near 100. It turns down to 0 when I turn it all the way to the left. Is there something I can do to fix it? Thanks so much!!

HI Everyone! I hope all is well. My pump and filter just stopped working. There is no power to my heater or SWG board as well. I thought it would be the power not getting to the pool, however, the orange light is on on the timer and I checked the breaker a couple of times. What could it be? I...

Hi Everyone, I have a Hayward pool heater Model# H250PED2. When I turn it on, it clicks starts and then shuts off 2 seconds later. The code HR comes on. Any idea if it’s the control board or just the ignition switch. Kind of lost here. Thanks so much! Steven

Hi Everyone, Thank you in advance for all your help. I just installed a SWG this year and I have seemed to work out the kinks. I didnt do a proper SLAM because I thought the SWG would take care of the problem, (newbie). After 2 days of running it on super cholrine, I started to introduce bleach...

Hi All, I finally put on the Crystal Pure 3.0 Salt System, PureLine. However, the salt display say 2000 and I need 3400-3600ppm. The chart they gave me to add salt is very confusing. My pool is 20,000 gallons, IG. The panel will flash low salt and then go solid with the check cell light on...

Hi Guys, I have been using your recommendations and it's been going awesome. In lowering my PH, I didn't have the patience and added alittle too much MA and brought my PH down to 7.0. Should I had borax or will it creep up. I definitely learned my lesson and will trust pool math next time...
