I have a SWG Hayward Turbo Cell 15 40,000g that was recently replaced because i didn't think it was working properly since it wasn't producing enough chlorine. I told the pool tech and people from warranty that i thought it wasn't the cell and maybe the actual salt water generator. I noticed...

Anyone ever had any issues with their T15 system reporting high salt? The system will run normally and produce cholorine, but after running for a while the light that says high salt turns on. Salt is 3200 on the system and about 3100 when checked manually. Also chlorine is a little low at about...

I have an 18k gallon pool and have a 1 hp pump feeding from a main drain and two skimmers. I was wondering if 1 hp enough. I have a waterfall that is about 6 ft high with a 2 hp pump, does anyone think maybe when they installed the equipment they switched the pumps? I ask because I notice that I...

I have a uv ozone genarator on my salt water pool. Recently I started getting air in my pump from it. Does anyone know if I need it, because I was thinking of getting rid of it. From what I have read, it's something you really don't need. According to the pool contractor it helps keep my ph...

Noticed a little bit of oil residue on the bottom part of the pump. Anyone know if that's normal or where it could be coming from?

Just found out my swg won't be replaced until another week. It is only an year old and already messed up! Anyone have any recommendations on how to keep FC high enough for the next week. I was thinking of turning it off and adding bleach, is this pretty consistent to what you experts do? Also...

I noticed today that the lights showing generating and power are off on my swg but it's still reading the salt level. Does anyone know if that swg will turn off if it doesn't need to generate salt, I have it set like at 50% running for like 8 hrs because it's been generating more than enough FC...

I noticed that my salt levels have not decreased in over a year according to the salt water system. There is a discrepensy of 400 between the taylor test and my actually cell. 3000 for the taylor and 3400 for the salt cell, is this pretty normal to get something like this? Also, whenver i add...

I recently purchased some jacks magic purple stuff to control some pool scaling, anyone have a particular way of using it aside from the recommended details on the bottle. It practically asks to put the whole 32oz bottle in then weekly add about 6 oz. also, at what point do you start draining...

The valve on my pentair backwash valve broke as I was trying to open it. Is this something that happens often, should I have been living that handle. It's only an year old. I was looking for the part, looks like I can replace the handle without having to change the whole insider part, or do you...

Does anyone know why there could be a big difference in salt levels. The aquachek stripes read 1300 and 3400ppm on Hayward. The salt cell is almost an year old and ironically reads anywhere from 3100 to 3400 daily. My FC has been about 8-12 with a cya of 70. I've been working on decreasing...

Fc 12 Cc 0 Ta 80 Ph 7.4 Cya 60-70 Pump run time 8-5pm with generator at 70% Does it matter that my FC is that high, or should I decrease % of generator or pump run time?

I've noticed that my skimmers don't really collect anything. Before today, the main drain and both skimmer valves were completely open. I decided to close the main drain pipe a little to see if it would make a difference. I did notice a little more current in the skimmer area, where before there...

I have an ultra pure automatic cleaner on my pool. I notice not a lot of people have one here and there isn't a lot of info about them at least that I have seen. Then again I'm pretty new to the site. What do people think about them? Thanks !

Hello, just had my pool completed about 2 months ago and i've been noticing these white stains on there. In the beginning there was a lot of dirt in pool as a result of high wind and i'm thinking it may have contributed to it. I didn't think much of it until a friend who also owns a pool with...
