We need to raise the CH level. Was looking at the local pool store, 25# bucket was > $220. Found this on-line: HARRIS Swift "Polar Melt" Melt Calcium Chloride Snow and Ice Melter, 15lb. It's calcium chloride pellets. $38 Less than 1/2 the price of the pool store option. See any downside to...

So, long story short, due to a dead SWG, I ended up with too much salt (>5,500 PPM) and a green pool. So, here shortly one the sun starts to set (I’m just outside Houston and its dang hot out now) I’m going to run tests, get my FC, CTA, etc. readings. In the meantime, to help bring the salt...

Equipment as listed in signature line. Based on the salt readings on my monitor, last month I had to, or thought I had to, add an unusual amount of salt. But I chalked it up to the unusual number of heavy rains we were experiencing. Now, we’re in a hot, dry period and I’m still getting a “Low...

I can NOT turn off the filter pump from the panel. I have to throw the breaker for the pump to stop. Other options, such as turning the cleaner or water feature on to off and back, function properly. I pulled the panel cover off. Took some measurements with my VOM. The main board seems to be...

Not sure if this is the best forum to open this in, but here goes. And apologies in advance for the length, just trying to get it all out there. As a part of our In-ground pool build, they built a ground level pool deck, The deck surrounds the pool and extends up to the house (picture a large...

Just noticed the Pentair Kreepy Krauly cleaner wasn't "kraul"ing around. Turns out the Hayward 6060 booster pump is not activated. No humming, motor is not hot to touch, no capacitor to fail. I replaced the booster motor back in May of 2017. Is 5 years out in the hot Texas sun operating...

So recently picked up the TF 100 and accompanying salt test kit. The salt test kit has consistently provided readings much higher than what my board shows. I've taken salt reading of 5200, 5800, 4800, 4000, where the Aqua Logic has been displaying in the low 3000s. I also, in hopes to...

Just a couple of weeks ago, armed with our recently purchased TF-100 test kit with magnetic stirrer and TFP recommended salt test kit, we cancelled our contact with a pool service company. Now I’m at the point, I’ve gathered a few days of readings and I’m going to test again today. But for now...

Recently received our TF100 test kit and saltwater tester. So we cut our pool service loose 2 weeks ago. Did my first complete test yesterday, and 3 problems area: pH, TA, and CYA. See the link below if you want, but here are the readings: FC: 2.0 Ph: 8.2 TA: 110 CH: 300 CYA<20...

So I just woke up (~4:30 AM Central) for one of my nightly trips down the hall, when I noticed the pool pump was running. That's odd. It should have turned off around 9:15 PM I took a look at the remote wireless control, but it shows the filter should not be running. I cycled the pump On/Off...

Well, got almost 15 years out of our Pentair Legend (LL105). I'm looking at almost $400 to $450 worth of parts to repair to get it back to good operating condition. So it's probably just time to replace it. Not looking to upgrade - or spend the $s - to get a robotic unit. And we plan to move...

Had our 1st really "cold" front hit over the new year's holiday. Went to check the water temp this AM (1/3/22) and the board was not reporting the temp. But we did have two errors: (1) "Check System Wtr Sensor Open" (2) "Pool Temp error" So would that indicate I replace the GLX-FLO-RP...

So I noticed over a few hour period we're losing several inches of water from the spa (spa is tied into the main pool, with a spillway/waterfall that runs from the raised spa into the pool) While walking around to inspect the pump, filter, area, I noticed one of the shutoff valves was not...

(This Forum seemed like the best choice to place this) I believe I have a faulty Aqualogic panel (AQL-PS-8). I'm getting a “Salt Level = 0000”, though I know it isn't all 0's. This No Salt reading happened recently (< 3 months ago); however, after I cleaned a couple of slightly charred...

System shows the salt level is all 0's. SWG is a Hayward Aqua T-Cell-15, installed in July of 2014 (This being the 2nd SWG in the 10 year old pool.) Had the SWG tested, it passed. Hayward flow switch (GLX-FLO-RP) was intact. I can only assume it's functional. Any suggestions as to what to...

Just getting started on here. Considering an upgrade from our current "ALL-CLEAR" Professional Test Kit. And with every intention to read through the "Pool School", adopt the pool maintenance methods on this site. In the meantime, would request some assistance: Issue: Cloudy water, algae...

Hi, Robert from Houston TX here. New guy on the forum. And have just started reading through the site. Appreciate any assistance y'all. Background info: Salt water system in Houston TX. 16,000 gallon in ground plaster pool. Have the Hayward product line: Filter: Model C5025, cartridge type...
