    Spa heater

    When I run my spa the heater won't auto stop at the set point. When I heat the pool the heater stops at the set point. Any ideas what needs to be adjusted?

    Spillover issue?

    Recently when running the spillover I have noticed water forming under the spill over and falling on to the stone. I never used to do this. Any ideas of what could be happening? I don't see any cracks.

    Low Salt Hayward Omni logic

    I am trying to figure out how to reset the average salt reading on my Hayward T3. I have attached the notifications in the pictures below. When I test my salt with my TF test kit it shows 3200 PPM. Does anybody run into this problem? If so, any suggestions?

    SWG too small

    I have a Hayward T3 for my 18,000-gallon pool. I moved into the house in 2023, and the salt cell, which was installed with the pool, was added in August 2021. The SWG is struggling to keep up with the summer heat in North Carolina. I frequently need to use the "super chlorinate" function to...

    SWG issue?

    Possible issue? On 6/10 at 2146 I noticed the free chlorine level in my pool was lower than I expected. I took the reading using a TF Tesk Kit. FC: 1.5 Using pool Math, it recommended I run the salt water generator at 100 percent for 24 hrs. FC on 6/12 at 1308: 3.5 The pump was off after the...

    Green tint upon waking this morning

    Hey guys, I have a quick question. I use pool math and my chlorine levels are nonexistent from sitting over the winter with my SWG off. I used some chlorine tabs here and there but obviously not enough. So last night I added 3 quarts of bleach and 2 hours later 3 cups of 20% muriatic acid with...

    Water circulation for colder weather

    I've been experimenting with my new pool extensively, accumulating a wealth of information along the way from TFP. Recently, my Hayward freeze protection feature was activated, resulting in a significant water loss in my spa due to the constant movement of the actuators. Each cycle caused a...

    Pool heater freeze protect

    Another it's getting cold out question. I am a new pool owner, and I have ensured that my freeze protection is on for my Hayward Omnilogic. I have an 18k pool, a hot tub with a spillover, and a small waterfall on the other end. How do I ensure that the water circulates to all features and...

    Losing water

    Rookie pool owner here! I have been steadily losing water in my pool. At first, I thought it was just the NC heat, but have realized it is not. I performed the bucket test with the pump off and I lost about an inch of water in 1.5 days. I bought some dye and went looking in all the common places...

    Rookie here.

    Good morning! I purchased a new to us house...andddd it has a pool. I had no idea what I was doing. After lurking around here for a few months, I sort of (but not really) got the hang of it. I purchased pool math and look around in here often. I wanted to say hi and start contributing to the...
