Hi there I have a Questa Jetstream Hi Fliw Sand filter with a Davey style MPV. Tthis question is for my educational purposes but I’m sure someone here will be able to answer it. The connections in my filter from the pump into the filter and from the filter through the salt chlorinator to return...

Hi there I know this is a long shot but there are many folks here in Australia that use these forums so i thought posting a request here may be fruitful. I have the above pump driven by a 1hp CMG motor. The pump hasn't been available for a few years but has worked perfectly for years. A couple...

Hi there I’m considering purchasing a new SWG. My old one happily operated at 5000ppm but it’s nearly 15 years old. The replacement SWG manual specifies a salt level of between 3000-3500ppm and no higher than 4000ppm. Using an Aqua Chek salt test strip it returned a 7.2 result (4780ppm). So if...

Hi there I really need some advice on this situation. I’m in Victoria, Australia and inherited my pool when I purchased this home. The chlorinator is a Questachlor Xtra (reverse polarity) producing 30 grams an hour at optimal operation. The chlorinator would be approx 15 years old. I’ve replaced...

Hi there We live in Victoria, Australia in the southern part of the state. When we moved here and inherited the pool we planted an Australian native shrubby type tree called Agonis Burgundy. They are planted in planter boxes that are in an L shape around the pool. The decision to plant them was...

Hi there As the title suggests I’m hoping someone has had experience with this model sand filter (probably in Australia) can offer some advice. I guess most sand filters are pretty much the same in their construction. I’ve researched this model for spare parts etc but had no success. It has...

Hi there Over the passage of time (I inherited the pool 11 years ago) I have repaired or replaced the suction pool cleaner that came with the pool. I’m in Australia. The model was a Questa Hydrosweep/Turbosweep and then migrated to a Davey Leaf Wizard. I’ve become fairly skilled at repairing...

Hi there I'll try and describe this issue as best as I can but to say it's frustrating me would be a huge understatement. I have an inground fibreglass pool 10 x 3M approx. 30,000 litres. Water chemistry is spot on and water is always crystal clear. I inherited the pool with the house and with...

Hi there My next door neighbour has a concrete inground pool with a spa pool attached to it. I also have an inground fibreglass pool and have always attempted to resolve my own pool problems. This morning he called over and asked for my input to what might be the problem with his spa. I'll...

Hi there I have a Questachlor Xtra salt chlorinator (30 grams/hr) and apart from a brand new cell about 31/2 years ago I've had absolutely no trouble with it. The unit has reverse polarity and the frequency is set to about every 10 days. Red light/green light indicates which cycle it's on. Cell...

Hi there Before I contact the supplier I got my replacement cell from I thought it might be better to get an answer from experts. My original cell has 5 plates 200mm (8") long and including the clips is about 48mm wide, 30 amp and self cleaning (reverse polarity). I decided to get a backup cell...

Hi there I inherited a pool with my new home and it's been a sharp learning curve. Most things have been fairly straightforward and with the help of forum members here, it's been a great help. With the pool, came a mechanical pool cleaner called a Hydrosweep ( seen here for sale on the Oz eBay...

Hi there I have a Questa Questachlor Xtra Self cleaning salt chlorinator which produces about 30 grams per hour. The cell is in good shape and once a season (even though it's self cleaning) I remove the cell from the cell housing and soak it in a pool shop bought salt cell cleaning solution at...

Hi there Another newbie question to make sure I do no damage before I embark on new territory. I've notice there is a fair amount of white build up on one of the connecting tangs (for want of better or correct terminology) on the salt cell. The one closest to me, looking at the power lead cap...

Hi there As a fairly new pool owner I have tried to absorb as much information as I can. I have already posted questions in another place in the forum and had fantastic replies and great help! So here I am again. This is in regards to my Questachlor Xtra salt chlorinator. The cell which is...

Hi there I found this forum after doing some research on the internet. I recently moved into a house which has an in ground pool and the learning curve has been steep but not impossible. My experience with a local pool shop has not been a positive one so after migrating to another shop I've...
