Hi folks, Not quite sure what to make of this and it's somewhat of a wild guess but here goes. I converted to a SWCG last summer and have head pretty steady salt readouts through the seasons and beyond. I got my Pentair Warrior SE (S200 clone) end of December and around February when water...

Hi all, A year ago when I first switched to the TFP method, I took over a pool with a CYA ~ 140, constantly dropping FC levels and a weekly pool service bill. Today, I am a happy owner of a never-cloudy pool that I enjoy maintaining. I decided to re-test my CYA since after my last attempted...

Hi folks, I have two diverter valves for solar isolation installed way back when with an unknown origin/manufacturer. One of them is definitely not sealing as it should but given the age I would like to refresh both of them. I am trying to understand if generic Jandy or CMP parts will fit (one...

Hi all, Recently my booster pump finally died and i happily became a new owner of a Pentair Warrior SE from Marina's Pool and Spa (basically Pentair branded S200) I want to abandon the return line to the pool and remove the pump but am a bit unsure of the best way to proceed. I could cap off...

Hi all, I decided to bite the bullet and get an Aquarite T15 SWG system and a new Superflo VS 1.5 HP pump to replace my old 3/4 single speed Hayward northstar pump. As with many things, in cost savings attempt I am very seriously debating doing this as a DYI as far as replumbing. Since I...

Hi all, Currently have a Hayward 3/4 HP pump with an AO Smith motor (193220-02). Looking to see if I can replace the motor alone with a dual or variable speed version. I do have a solar panel set up (about 10 panels on the roof of a single story house). InYoPools suggests alternatives in the...

Hi everyone, Have been thinking recently about converting the pool from chlorine to a chlorine generator. Not sure if it can be done with the existing plumbing, but any hope to so with some minor modifications without yanking it all out? Perhaps rotating the solar motorized valve 90* up and...

Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a ~12K gallon pool (non-SWG, cartridge filter, solar heating but isolated for now for winter) here in north California. First time pool owner (since Nov) and have handed off the maintenance to a local pool company for the last 5 months. They...
