    Help with new generator

    I haven’t yet, no. I guess I could, but either way…getting pretty old. Lol

    Help with new generator

    I’m pretty sure my generator’s cell is bad. It’s a Hayward Goldline, t-cell 15. It was here when we bought the house over 5 years ago, and it looked a few years old then. The computer is saying “inspect cell”, solid light and not flashing…and this time it won’t let me reset the indicator, and...

    Dead Cell? (again)

    Okay, so I finally got my salt to the right level (or around the right level...it's pretty much where it should be but I won't get an accurate reading until my salt test kit comes later this week). I set my SWG to super chlorinate and it's been (supposedly) doing so for 24 hours...but I got home...

    TA and pH issues

    Thanks for the help. Before I cut into lines like that I'm going to try to build me one coming off the pool cleaner fitting. Easiest way I see to do it, if it works. Once I get something like that going I'll start to add some acid, aerate to get the pH back up...wash, rinse, repeat. I do find...

    TA and pH issues

    Hey...now I feel stupid because I didn't think of doing something like that before even asking. I'm a plumber, for Pete's sake! And, as such, have easy access to all that stuff right now. Do you think that the booster pump would provide enough flow to make that work? My pool cleaner fitting is...

    TA and pH issues

    Okay, guess I feel like a total pool noob here, even though I've had this pool for 13 years...but how do I aerate the water? I have no water features or anything like that. Is there a special piece of equipment I can use?

    TA and pH issues

    So my assumption above was about right? Lower the TA, then add some soda ash afterward to bring the pH back up? And about the muriatic acid, since I've never used it before...do I just pour it in nice and slow around the deep end? I've never messed with my TA before, and never used this acid for...

    Confirmation of possibly dying cell?

    Actually, just went out there to get the diagnostics to post, and now those flashing codes have disappeared and it's reading 3000ppm salt. It's blowing some white clouds, and it's never done that before, but from what I've read that seems to be kind of normal. Should be noted that I don't have a...

    TA and pH issues

    I'll keep that in mind. I'll just keep an eye on my pH for a few days and make sure it holds where it is. Don't think that of a TA will mess with how my salt cell functions or its lifespan?

    TA and pH issues

    Having a little quandary about adding some chemicals. My pool is currently pretty well balanced in terms of pH. Right around 7.4. However, my TA is reading about 110 ppm, using the Taylor test kit because I know those strips are about useless. Some place online I read that that is a good place...

    Confirmation of possibly dying cell?

    I have an AquaRite system, and I think the cell is about 3, maybe 4 years old (can't exactly recall when I replaced it). As I've seen others posting similar issues, I believe I know what the answer might be but I'd like a little confirmation. A little quick history about my current situation...
