Hi everyone, while opening the pool this year I noticed crystallization on the walls and floors of the pool, after searching around on the forum we came to the conclusion that the PH of the water was high, we poured in 4L of acid to bring down the PH and took care of balancing the rest of the...

Hi Everyone, we opened the pool up yesterday and today while I was vacuuming the pool I noticed small crystals, much larger than what pool salt typically looks like on the walls and floors of the pool, It is extremely difficult to scrap off and safe to say almost impossible, I am wondering if...

Hi everyone, we have rain for the next 2 days (3-4 inches) and my pool is already very full. I wanted to drain the pool a couple of inches as it does not look like there is any overflow basin built into the pool. From my limited knowledge I think I can switch the port on the sand filter to...

I found a great channel on youtube with tons of info on common questions about pools, here is one about how to use the K-2006 test kit that many here recommend. I think we should sticky the video somewhere How to Use a Taylor Complete FAS-DPD Pool Water Test Kit K-2006 - YouTube

I tested the PH and chlorine with the old Pentair test kit that came with the house and Chlorine was zero and PH was higher than the test kit could even measure, i.e well over 8. I have a bottle of muriatic acid from when I cleaned my SWG and was wondering what the proper way is to reduce the...

Hello- as some might have seen my other posts, I currently have a 40k salt water generator from Hayward. It does not seem to be producing enough chlorine for a roughly 60,000 gallon pool. Instead of buying jugs of liquid chlorine to compensate I am looking around for a replacement unit and...

Hi- I had my SWG at 80% for about 14 hours overnight, I tested the water this afternoon using the Test kit, added 5 drops of liquid 1 as instructed and the colour was clear which if I am reading things right means I have no CL in the pool. I am starting to grow algae on the stairs and thus will...

Is the generating light supposed to turn off when the pump is turned off? mine just stays lit and I have to switch it to the off position. any ideas?

Does anyone here know anything about the S300I? I went to purchase a M500 and was told a new "top of the line" model came out this year called the S300I and from what the pool store told me its now the top model that Maytronics builds. Local price in Toronto was $1500.00. From what I see on the...

Hi there- maybe a dumb question but what test strips do I need to see if my salt cell is generating salt according to what has been set on the control panel. I.e control panel is set to 60% and I want to see if the Chlorine level in the water is really 60%. There seems to be an abundance of test...

Hi everyone- I am looking for a robotic cleaner for my gunite pool, its relatively large at approximately 58,000 gallons. Does anyone have any experience with the M5? looking to make the investment if its worth the money you pay.

Hi Everyone- I just moved into a house with a salt water pool. I started up my pool and Hayward Salt generator and let it run overnight. Came back in the morning and check salt and check cell light were on ( no flashing). took out the cell washed it and let it soak in muriatic acid for a couple...
