I have a pool that was made with 1 1/2 inch pipes. I really should have had 2" but it wasn't designed very well so that's what I have to work with. The pipes are in cement so there isn't much hope of fixing that. I am replacing the filter which is undersized with a swimclear 2030. I an...

I am looking at new pool filters and I don't understand something. Something that I read made it look like the C&C cartridge filter from Pentair can take a 100 or 200sf filter cartridge. but when I look for prices I am seeing two identical pictures for the C&C with one listed as a 100 and one...

I was recently away from my pool for about 6 months and during that time a friend was taking care of the pool. When I returned he said that he kept adding salt but the salt level on the SWG (Hayward aquarite 40k) never came up above the required minimum so he just added granular chlorine instead...

I have a Hayward star clear plus filter and it has an e-ring that keeps the knob from coming out of the box when you open the filter for cleaning. I have already replaced 3 of these e-rings because they break. I now have an aquarite system so I'm wondering if the salt is the problem. That...

So I have read a bunch of threads on here talking about the pros and cons of suction cleaners and I looked at the manual for the Zodiac G3. After looking at that I see a couple of issues that may give me problems because of how my pool is setup. My hope is that someone on here can tell me if...

I have a Hayward Super II 1.5HP pump that we think is about 14 years old. It has started to have a hard time priming and often doesn't prime at all. I took it apart to check the impeller and seals and I think the Impeller might be a bit warped. I can get all the replacement parts for about...

I have been using my Aquarite SWG with the t-15 cell for about a month or so now and I am still getting used to what I can expect it to put out in the way of chlorine. Right now my sale level is about 3100ppm. My power has been a little hit and miss lately but has usually come on overnight and...

I am using the TF test kit with two different chlorine test options. There is the simple test and the one that uses the 870 powder to test above 5PPM or more accurately (according to the instructions). I ran my Aqua Rite overnight on super chlorinate because we had gotten some rain and when I...

I am about to install an aquarite SWG 40,000 gallon system and want to make sure I have everything setup before hand. I've seen a lot on here about getting the salt level right but I'm not seeing lots of options for testing the salt level. I found a digital test for over $100 but dont' really...

I just moved into a house that has a pool. I am in a very sunny climate (actually in the Caribbean) and the pool is between 25-30,000 gallons. When I arrived the pool was so green it looks more like a yard than a pool. a bunch of bleach had been dumped into it and shock but nothing changed...
