Hello all, I have a new Hayward SP SP2670007x10 with a new threaded fitting which threads onto the top of the pump on the return side. I’ve attached a photo to show where I cannot get the threaded connection to stop leaking (I have not fully screwed the connection onto the pump in the picture...

Hey I have a Hayward SP2670007x10. I drained some water off the pool thru waste, capped it back up, turned the pump back on but forgot to switch the valve it back to filter setting. Back pressure blew a threaded pipe off the pump (I’m not happy with myself). So I have some water seepage where...

Hey all, Thanks in advance for any input on this - should the Hayward TCELL 940 Be listed as T-9 or T-15 in the AquaRite 900 menu system?

Hi everyone, I had started a similar thread about test kits but I guess I need some general help with my new switch to SWG from chlorine so I’m starting this thread. The new SWG pool is a vinyl liner with about 20,000 gallons, DE filter and Hayward TCell 940 w/ Hayward AquaRite 900. New water...

Hey all - I was a new pool owner 4 summers ago and we’re just finishing a renovation and a conversion from chlorine to a salt water system. This website was a tremendous help in bringing me up to speed with the old pool, and I expect it will continue to be a great resource with the new pool...

I’ve come across a condundrum while installing a Hayward pool light model #SP0670U. The light came with 10 screws to install the light face plate, gasket and rear bracket on each side of the pool wall. The supplied screws are listed as #13 1 1/4 inches. I’ve attached a picture from the manual...

Hi I’m trying to fix a leak which I posted about in the starting/closing thread. I’m trying to replace a wall plate/return fitting but I can’t seem to find exactly what I’m looking for neither online nor at hardware stores. Where I am in Mass the pool supply stores are still closed down. I’ve...

So I inherited an old pool which I am opening for my third season. Just took the cover off and the water looked great, however, the level was way down and it lost about 9,000 gallons over the winter. I’ll attach some photos but I think the culprit is an old return line that was capped sometime...

Within the last 2 weeks I stopped using pucks and just have been adding liquid chlorine daily. I’ve felt like I’ve been battling low pH all year and so I finally heeded advice here to stop using the pucks. My pool looked slightly cloudy last night so I did an Overnight Loss Test and lost 2.0...

Hi I’m a second season pool owner (not salt water). This year I have been consistently measuring 7.0 to 7.2 pH and adjusting to try to get it closer to 7.4-7.6 range. My CYA is consistently 80 using liquid chlorine to shock and 99/1% pucks. I kept my chlorine according to the chart on this site...

Hi I’m a second season pool owner running into low TA. I’ve been fighting lower pH this year and just looked at the TA this morning to find it at 50. This morning my FC is 7, CYA 80 and pH 7.2. Like I mentioned I’ve been encountering low pH all season. I know the CYA is high I use the pucks and...

I’m prepping to close my pool this weekend here in Massachusetts. We’ve had alot of rain and we haven’t used the pool in a few weeks. I tested the water as part of my prep for closing and things seem off: FC - 17.5 pH - 7.0 CYA - 90 Alkalinity - 60 The high FC caught my attention and I’m not...

Coming to the end of my first season as a pool owner. The advice at TFP helped to make it a fun season. I’m going to close my pool and I’m not sure how much Polyquat 60 to use for my 28,000 gallon in ground pool. I’d appreciate any recommendations? I’ve read the posts that say to follow the...

I had been using a Pool Master kit, and pool store strips, and strips until I just got a Taylor kit. Pool is crystal clear after slamming, doing the OCLT tomorrow. Assuming it passes and my CYA has been steady around 55, do I want to maintain FC for swimming around 7-8? My Pool Master kit and...

Hi, I bought this house with a pool and I have no experience. Has fresh water and a vinyl liner, the particulars are in my signature. A local company opened it up, had a few early hiccups (low water level, leak) that have been fixed but after about 10 days my water has improved but is still...

I have liquid shock, 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. How do I enter this particular liquid chlorine into the pool math calculator?
