    Pool Heater ??

    So I'm struggling with the question of what to do with my pool heater. It's about 8 years old, so I think it's at the end of its life, and I've spent enough over the last three years to have replaced it with just repairs. I'm thinking seriously of replacing it, rather than buying another heat...

    Help! My heat exchanger on my Haward heater has failed AGAIN!

    I just keep repeating "I love my pool, I LOVE my pool!" but lately it has been a pain in the nether regions. Three months ago, my Mineral Springs system display stopped working. Hayward acquired this company shortly after my pool was built, and they have changed the system so I can no longer get...

    CYA in an indoor pool with SWG

    I have been very appreciative of the help I've gotten from all the experts on this site and hope you can help me with an additional question. I purchased the TF-100 kit about three years ago, as well as the saltwater test kit. I've been using them regularly and my pool has been doing great...

    How do you test a SWC to see if it's working properly?

    I've had on and off problems with my SWC over the 8 years since it was built. Here is what is happening currently: about three weeks ago, I went without checking chemicals for about two days. We were busy, and I didn't even go out to the pool, since my team is not using it but two days a week...

    High pH?

    I've been fighting a battle with high pH in my SWG pool. Is this normal? Everything else seems fine. Also, is there a post on here somewhere that tells me how to differentiate between different brands/types of muriatic acid? I really don't know what to buy, there seem so many different ones...

    Tested, used pool math, so now where do I go to buy particular things it needs?

    Let me say that I love the forums. I'm already learning so much, despite feeling fairly confident in my knowledge after maintaining this pool for over nine years. So, I got my new kit and before I go about getting my SWG back in order I want to make sure everything is well balanced. Here are my...

    Which test kit/options do I need?

    I need to know if the TF100, with the salt test strips is all I need for my SWG pool or do I need other options too. I tried to find the answer in the pool school, but either I skipped over it or didn't understand it. I'm trying to get this ordered so I can get this SWG back up and running ASAP...

    Help me get this SWG back to running form!

    As my signature says, the pool was built in 2007 with a SWG and for quite some time it was a dream to keep the pool in perfect order. However, about three years ago (the system was about 5 years old), everything started going wrong. First, the cell died, and I about died when I found out what it...

    Good afternoon good people, and thanks for letting me join you!

    Wow, I'm not sure where to even begin! I've been involved in swimming for most of my life as a coach and teacher, but about ten years ago decided to take the plunge and build my own pool. I wanted something that could be used year round, for myself and for my small, but growing USA swim team. So...
