    How old is this Hayward sand filter ?

    There’s no date on my Hayward S220T tag. I do see this on the bottom while I’m cleaning it. Is this a manufacture date? We’ve only lived here 3 years. Thank you.

    Crack in main center pipe of pool filter ?

    There seems to be this tiny gap where the center pipe meets the black part. Do I need to glue that or something? The big arrow is pointing to a spot that looks like it may have been glued by previous owner. I’ve noticed a little dirt or sand in the pool but nothing huge to note .

    Filter sand — clean enough?

    What is this white floating material? We have had problems with our SWG and have been shocking with liquid bleach and are finally maintaining at no more than a 0.5 ppm fluctuaion overnight.

    SLAM and CYA

    Hello, New to pools here, as are many of us. We need to SLAM as we are losing 2ppm in the OCLT. I see algae floating but its not taken over yet. Our pool has a salt system we are repairing so right now I’m treating it like a chlorine pool with bleach. Our CYA is 80 which is above recommended...

    SWG not producing —PCB or cell?

    First season with a pool and it seems our AquariteT15 pro is not producing chlorine or is seriously underperforming. Latest salt test (k-1766) was 2600 and FASDPD Chlorine I could not get to turn more than a very faint pink despite shoveling the DPD powder and our water is cloudy with signs of...
