I've been meaning to ask this question for quite awhile but never had a chance. On my Hayward ProLogic panel it lists the following: Chlorine (FC) : 1-3ppm PH: 7.2-7.5 Total Alkalinity (TA): 80-120ppm Stabilizer (CYA): 20-30ppm Calcium (CH): 125-250ppm Salt: 2700-3400ppm On TFP it lists the...

I was at costco this weekend and noticed that a 12pack of HTH Sock IT was selling for $32cdn, however I can get 10L of Liquid Chlorine for $6. Im wondering what is the best option when shocking a SWG pool especially after a party or heavy use.

So I picked this up at my local big box store for $2 as they were clearing out the pool supplies. Not really sure if these kits are necessary or helpful but I figured for $2 it was cheap enough. Just wondering if anyone has used this in the past? Im assuming that I need to drain the water below...

It seems like both return faceplates are cracked around each screw. Is this something that I need to worry about and replace? The plates are not that expensive at $4 each however im unsure if there will be any movement in liner if I remove the old ones? The pool was installed late last year so...

Just wondering if I should remove salt from my pool that is currently reading 3400ppm. Hayward mentions that the ideal is 3200ppm but im not sure if this is to increase cell longevity?

It seems that whenever I vacuum my pump pump looses prime (high/low sound w/ basket 1/2 empty), Im not sure if it makes a difference if one has the hose going overtop of the coping (which is how I have it) vs through the skimmer opening. I would be surprised if there was a pinhole lead in my...

I'm looking at a new wireless doorbell and was wondering if anyone has had experience with one or the other? The reviews online are nice and all but real world longtime experience is always ideal

I know this is very early as we just hit summer but are winter/safety covers really necessary other than the safety/debris aspect? Does winter damage the liner more in winter than in summer if its not covered? The reason I ask is that I have a single track on my liner pool so I would need to...

Hi everyone, It seems that I have a small leak between the heater header flange and a 2" coupler (that connects to the rest of my 2" plumbing) Is it possible to put some type of solvent/material to plug the leak? I put some pool glue overtop of the joint but that didnt help. I get a drop...

Just wondering if its best to run ones pump for longer or have a SWG set at a higher level? I currently have my pump running at 6hrs and SWG set at 10% .. I run the pump at night around 25gpm I was at about 1.5fc last week and today at 0.5fc - I've used the pool perhaps 3 times and it stays...

Has anyone experienced this? I've read that they can cause pinhole leaks and damage to internal liner covered steps. My inlaws were going to give us this unit but now im starting to wonder if its worth it. iRobot Verro 500

Does anyone know where I can find a magnetic thermometer? I have nowhere to hang a regular string thermometer

Just wondering if anyone has used the following vacuum head that is designed for concrete pools on a vinyl pool? I would assume that it would be easier to vacuum/glide vs one with brushes. The only thing that may be a negative is that you are not able to "brush" while vacuuming (unless the...

Not sure if this is an "Only in Canada" thing but has anyone used Hayward's Low Salt system? I think they started it due to local max salt limit when draining into the city sewer system. My ProLogic 8 has the option of running in Low Salt mode with a T-15 cell only. Since I have a fairly small...

I know this may sound like a stupid question but has anyone installed an automation panel indoors? The reason I ask is that I will be completing my pool install this spring and a friend of mine mentioned that I should install my Hayward ProLogic panel indoors beside my main electrical panel (in...

I'm looking at purchasing either a Taylor K-2006c or TF-100 however after reading about both kits over and over I've become more confused than anything else. Since I am located in Canada I would need to either pick these up in the US or have a friend ship it up to me. I'm also looking at...

Hi guys, I'm looking into getting a solar cover for my pool however my design is somewhat akward as I have a water sheer wall up to the waters edge while the end sticks out 2' past. Has anyone come across this situation? Perhaps a DIY idea or modifying an existing roller? Or am I better off...

Quick blurb as an introduction.. My wife had the bright idea of installing an ingound 8'x8' hottub in our backyard (Yard is 37'x27'), I eventually convinced her that if im digging out a hole in the ground that I may aswell put a pool in. After getting a few quotes from local installers I...
