I keep seeing what I think might be algae building up in the same places, primarily on tanning ledges where circulation isn't great, and also on tanning ledge walls that go to the bottom of the pool. If I brush, it goes away, but will come back again. I'm maintaining proper FC levels tested...

Having a 2 year old that's in ultra-explore mode right now, my wife and I are considering adding some sort of safety fence around our pool this spring. We have a fence around the back yard already with lockable gates (although now our almost 6 year old and his friends can just climb over the...

I'm working on replacing the temp sensor on my heater/chiller. It's an aquacal super quiet 156, and the temp reading is way off so assuming the sensor is bad. I think I'm looking at the correct location for where this should be. There's a plug with a wire going into the pvc as soon as water...

Best time of year!

I recently installed a CMP Brilliant Wonder color light on my Hayward system. Install went fine, and initially the light clicked on and worked no problem. Now I'm getting a weird problem where the light will come on, but then almost dim down to nothing. I can see LED's on underwater, but they...

We moved into our house a little over a year ago, and I noticed some stains on the bottom of the pool that look like they were caused by leaves sitting on the bottom over winter while the pool was closed. This year there seems to be more staining up along the sides of the pool too. When I...

I had our pool guy come out who opens/closes the pool only to find that the controller didn't get power once the breaker on the panel was turned on. I thought maybe I turned the breaker to the pool's subpanel at my main breaker so directed my pool guy into the house to check that, but it was...

This is probably a dumb question, but want to ask before I screw something up since I inherited this pool. Our pool has a stamped concrete portion, and then around the pool a lighter colored "cool" coating on it so it doesn't burn our feet. Are both of these surfaces safe to power wash...

I'm upgrading my Hayward E-Command 4 with the Hayward Omni-PL retrofit kit this year. I was considering a swap to SWG, but going to put that off to potentially next year. My pool is scheduled to be open around mid May, and I'm wondering what the best order of events would be in swapping this...

I'm contemplating making the switch to a SWG for chlorine management. I'm updating our Hayward E-Command 4 with the OmniPL retrofit kit, and my understanding is the new automation has a SWG controller built in. Is all that's left to do is add a SWG on the return line, hook it up to my new...

I inherited our pool last year from the previous homeowners, and our pool light has never worked. I'm upgrading our Hayward E-Command 4 with the OmniPL Retrofit kit this year due to a bad Ecommand board (slow clock). I'd also like to get the light in the pool working. In reading, it seems the...

I actually found this forum searching for a slow clock issue on my Hayward E Command 4 automation system. Seems when the clock slows, the board needs to be replaced, or you need to send it to some guy on Ebay who replaces a bad capacitor with replaceable batteries on the clock circuit. The...

Looking to be a TFP convert. Not sure I can convert if I haven't been pool stored yet, but I'm looking to start my pool journey trouble free so here I am. I purchased the Taylor K2005 test and a supplemental FAS DPD test to go along with it. Our pool was opened a little over a month ago...

Hey everyone... new pool owner here. When we moved in the past owners said the pool light didn't work, so I'm looking to figure out what I need to do about replacement. I've watched some youtube videos, and my light is not nearly as large as some of the videos I've seen, so wondering what...
