    SWG not producing chlorine - Resilience PSC3 with Solaxx A5 cell

    I've owned the resilience system for many years and have been very happy with it. I've had to replace the cell a few times when the blades wore out. This summer chlorine production dropped dramatically, the middle plate seemed worn and so I bought a new A5 cell form Solaxx. Even with the new...

    Priming issues, air in bottom drain basket

    I think I might have a couple of issues with my pool. Firstly I can't get good prime on the filter pump - there's a lot of air in the pump. Right in front of the pump is a motorized valve that selects either the spa or the pool. I have the issue with either source. I just replaced the shaft seal...

    Question on TA

    I have an in ground pool with SWG and more recently a pHtek automated acid system. Prior to the pHtek I always had an issue with high pH and high TA thanks to the SWG. After the pHtek was installed the pH has always been spot on. I also have a waterfall, so the addition of acid and aeration...

    Question on Ozone

    I have an ozone generator on my pool (I know some don't recommend this but I have it and plan to keep it). The problem is that I am getting excessive air in the filter. I did have a leak around the cap of the filter but used some PTFE to fix that. I believe the seal is now good but still getting...

    Should CYA be stable or can it vary?

    The CYA level in my pool has been 70-80 for a long time and I've not had to add any Cyanuric acid. I just got back from a business trip and tested the pool for the first time in 4 weeks. Surprisingly, everything was still pretty good (pH a little high, but SWG kept chlorine good) except CYA had...

    Poolsmith CO2 pH: anyone using? Pro's? Con's?

    Anyone have experience with the Poolsmith Organic pH system? I'm using a lot of MA with my SWG pool and I'm looking at pHtek proportional feed system, or the Poolsmith setup. I'm leaning towards Poolsmith even though it's a couple of hundred more. The main pro's I see are: change out cylinders...

    CH: Leslie's 270 ppm. TF100 800ppm. What now?

    I have been having some major issues with my salt cell clogging up with calcium. I've taken water to Leslie's pool supply for testing and they always show 250-300ppm; latest was 270. It didn't add up so I deided to take matters in to my own hands,and do my own testing. I bought a TF100 test kit...

    SWG/ Ozone and Minerals!

    Ok, so the pool installer we used saw me coming. They installed a Pool Frog system with seperate mineral and chlorine packs and an ozone generator. I replaced the Pool Frog system with their Mineral Hybrid system. I have a 14,000 gal pool/spa combo so I got the 25k unit. Thwt was back in 2010...
