My Hayward aquarite control panel has the check salt and inspect cell lights on. I am getting a 0 instant salinity reading when I move the switch from off to auto. My cell is one 1 year old. Is there anyway I can troubleshoot the components of the board or anyway to tell if my cell is bad?

I bought this test kit but and confused on how to check the results. It comes with 2 cards that have the same colors. I’m not sure how I should be holding the time to get the readings. Anyone have any insight? Do I look through the cloudy side of the tube? I can’t find clear instructions anywhere.

So I have algae on my walls every other day I brush It off and my chemistry is Close to balanced. Maybe Fc is on the low end for that CYA. People say phosphates don’t matter but they are around 2500 which is high. Any help would be great. I am currently raising the Fc to a target of 6. Numbers...

Looking for everyone’s input on the best 355 BTU natural gas heater. Our heater had a bad gas leak so it’s not out of comission and off to the grave yard. Thanks for you input!!!

I just open the pool yesterday and there is zero free Choorine and my CYA a is at 30. According to the CYA/FC chart for a saltwater pool I should be around 60. So should I use stabilize Chlorine pucks to get my FC and CYA up with the same product or should I Use liquid chlorine and CYA...

Just opened today. Initial water readings are Fc-0 Cc-0 Ph-8.5 Calcium 275 Ta. 90 Cya 30 Talk to me goose!!! Should I get Ph in range or should I dump chlorine in there to get a sanitizer in there.

I started with TFP mid season last year So this is my first opening. What sequence do I open the pool. Do I test water immediately and then balance chlorine and pH accordingly. Or do I add chlorine right away and then go from there.I have a SWG so my plan is to use liquid chlorine until my cell...

I recently converted to salt water and have the aquarite aqr-15 wired to the load side of the filter pump so when that pump kicks on,wether pool mode or spa mode, the SWG kicks on. The problem I’m having is it is superchlorinatig my spa. I have read I can hook the SWG to my Jandy aqualink panel...

I recently put a salt cell in and have had some irritation issues in the spa. I took a water sample earlier today and my FC was 6 and Cc was 3. I have a spa spillover setup so my returns are to the pool and spa jets. My spa retuen diiverter valve is cracked open during normal operation to...

I have a spa that spills out to the pool. I noticed the spa was always irritating everyone’s skin so I tested the water separately. Pool FC 3 CC 0 PH 7.4 Spa FC6 CC3 PH 7.4 Assuming the high FC and high CC is causing the irritation how do I balance the pool and spa water. Do I open both...

What could be the cause if itchy skin if all of my numbers are right where they need to be. Fc 3 cc 0 Ph 7.3 CYa 50 salt 3100

My pools chemistry is spot on. Everything right where I want it. Question I have is do I ever have to shock if all my numbers are In line. Basically if my CC is 0 should I still be shocking after heavy bather loads or do I just let it ride if my numbers are good. Thanks!!!

So here is my situation. Im an electrician and am wiring this heater for a client tomorrow. He currently has a 120v filter pump controlled by an intermatic digital timeclock with no automation. The Hayward HP-50 requires a 240v 20a circuit ran to it but if you look at the wiring diagram there...

I just conveyed my pool to salt water and befor adding any salt yesterday I tested the salinity of he water. It came up 100ppm. So according to the Hayward aquarite chart I should have added 850ish lbs of salt to achieve 3200ppm. I shot way low and added only 550lbs and figured less is best. My...

We had a major flash flood here in SE Pa. we basically had a creek running through our yard which overflowed into our pool. Now my pool is full of muddy water ( not happy). What is my best way to start this clean up? Do I turn off filter pump and let all the dirt settle then vacuum to waste...

Just ordered a Hayward aquarite aqr15 SWG and am pretty excited for it. Was just curious where is the best place to buy the 900 or so lbs of salt I need to dump into the pool in order to get started. Also do I just dump it in one bag after another or is there i pattern I should follow in order...

Abg temp is about 70 here in Pennsylvania. How long should I run the filter pump for? I have it running for 8 hrs now. Too much? Too little?

FC 8.5 CC 1 PH 7.2 TA220 CH 425 CYA 70 I seem to finally have FC.CC,CYA Pretty close to in range but was wondering if I hVe to adjust CH And TA. I don’t want to get too crazy and spend every waking minute adjusting stuff in the water

After adding the dpd powder How long should I swirl before adding r-0871 reagent. Seems to get darker pink as I keep swirling and sometimes after the result goes clear the pink slowly starts to come back before adding the CC reagent.

I have had high CC this opening and close to 0 FC so these are my latest test results. FC 6.5 CC 1.5 PH 7.6 Ch 375 TA 210 CYA 75 can you guys let me know if my numbers are good and what I should monitor. Thanks

Ph 7.5 Fc 2.5 CC 4.5 CH 32 TA 230 Cya 90 how to get rid of CC. Assuming cya is too high and killing chlorine efficiency. I have turned off my chlorinator 3 days ago to reduce more cya but unsure what to do next

I am considering switching to a salt water pool. What is the best SWG out there. Thanks!!

Good Morning Gents. I have to SLAM my pool due to high CC and next to zero FC. I’m pretty new to the pool scene being my second year with a pool and have tried to shock and oxidize to get rid of CC and that hasn’t worked so reading threads here it seems like I’m dealing with ammonia and need to...
