    Rusty Pool Cage Bolts Causing staining?

    I'm noticing the bolts in the main beams for the screen enclosure over the pool are rusting. My concern is that these rusting bolts are contributing to the many stains in my pool. I will be having my 34 year old fiberglass pool refinished shortly and if these rusty bolts dripping down on my...

    How much water is in a Circupool RJ30+ cell?

    I'm seeing some calcium deposits on the plates so I'm going to clean my RJ30+ for the first time since installing it 5 months ago. I want to mix the acid solution beforehand but don't know how much water the cell holds. My guess is about 2 quarts. Does anyone know for sure. Also the manual says...

    Bonding wire on SWG

    I installed my SWG back when Covid first started and I didn't want to go into the store to get the material I needed to do the bonding wire. I thought it's about time to finish that job but was wondering how important is bonding for a SWG? If it is important please explain why.

    What do the voltage/amp readings tell to you about the system

    My system is working fine and the voltage/amp readings are within what circupool says they should be but I'm curious what those readings actually tell you. Do they tell you anything about the condition of the cell or the amount of salt in the pool? How do you use those readings to diagnose problems?

    Preferred valve actuator brand

    I have a two year old 24 volt Intermatic Jandy valve actuator that is slowly but surely going bad. Previously had a Jandy brand actuator that lasted over 20 years. Are the Jandy brand actuators more reliable than the Intermatics or was this just bad luck? What brands are the preferred/most...

    Problem with Circupool RJ30 and solar heat.

    Installed a brand new RJ30+ last week and started having problems immediately. When the solar kicks on after the SWG has gone through it's initial diagnostics it throws the low salt and cell maint lights and shuts down. This is happening because the air that is being pushed out of the solar...

    Pump psi too high for SWG?

    Asked this question in a different thread but it was buried in 3 pages and it didn't get much response. The RJ30+ arrived today and I see a warning on the cell that says do not exceed 10 PSI. With my single speed 1 HP pump the pressure gauge on the top of the filter housing runs at about 10-11...

    How big should I go?

    I've looked at many different SWCG's and how they will fit into my piping, features, adjustability then decided on a Circupool RJ+.Just don't know how big to go. Pool is a fiberglass 13 x 28 oval, average 4 ft deep which by the formula would be about 9700 gallons. I suspect its less than that...

    SWG BEFORE the solar panels?

    Looking at going to salt but would need to install the generator before the solar panels in order to avoid re-piping most/all of the return piping. I know all the SWG people say to install after a heater but I assume that's because gas heaters and heat pumps all have metal heat exchangers in...

    Question about Pentair SolarTouch

    Hello everyone, longtime reader, but first time poster here. My very old Fafco Autopool controller took a lightning hit so I'm looking to possibly replace it with a Pentair SolarTouch. The old controller would keep the pool water plus/minus 1* of the set point. Example; If pool water temp was...
