Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted here but I just realized I need to add a pressure gauge to my filter. We bought the house 2 years ago and it did not have a gauge on it. The Multi-Valve Port has a sight glass and just above that to the right has a black plastic bolt that looks like...

That's brilliant. So you cut the legs off near the old thermistor, bend them 90 degrees, bend the legs of the new one 90 degrees, then solder together? Am I understanding that right? Thanks so much I never would have thought of that... Reminds me to KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) which I have a...

Thanks so much, James! Just an update my thermistor should be here tomorrow. I took advice from another thread and used a binder clip to compress the current thermistor and it's back up and working for now! SLAM is almost complete, passing all tests just waiting on crystal clear water. Its a...

The Voltage is all over the place. From as low as 1 up to 30. It's erratic while both off and on auto. I'll replace the thermistor as soon as I can get one in. Does that mean it's still producing chlorine while the lights are off or no? Serial # of Cell =3E16356 Serial of box = *5A0707-1...

Hey all, I've had a problem lately where my SWCG doesn't show any lights on after a few minutes. It continues to display the Salt level and I can go through the diagnostics button but I'm wondering if it needs to be replaced or if there's some trouble shooting I can do to potentially solve it...

Good morning all! You've been a great help in the past and I've scoured the website to find an answer (as well as the dreaded Google) and have not been able to find anything on this subject. I inherited a GoldLine Aquarite SWCG with an original T-9 Cell for my pool. I've been having problems...

Thank you, I will fix the CYA and do an OCLT after I get it up to the recommended levels. Thank you all again!

I know a TC of 1 isn't ideal but considering a CYA of 0 and the fact that there isn't much demand for it right now it should get me by until I get my issues fixed. I will add CYA starting today and also some liquid Chlorine to boost the TC level. I am also running my pump 24/7 due to the fact...

Hello all! I just moved into a house with a new pool that uses a SWCG. Never used salt water before so I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix my issues. We had our liner replaced and filled with water last week and I just got my test kit in Taylor K-2006 with the Taylor K-1776 salt test...

Thank you for all the information. For now I have cut the cracked plastic smooth and filled it with quickrete. I will then paint it white with a waterproof sealant to match the white PVC as best I can. When we next need a new liner (hopefully 10 years from now) we will have saved enough money...

Happy V-day to everyone here! My wife and I just bought a new (old) house with a pool! I'm no stranger to pools as I have been maintaining my MIL's pool with the TFP method for years. However, the Coping on our pool is in bad shape. A quote to replace it was anywhere from 12-17k! We don't have...

So I wasn't there when they inspected it, but my MIL did say that they told her there were more pin holes than they could detect. I will ask her tomorrow to be sure but it seemed pretty obvious that since she fired them for maintenance and upkeep they immediately found the most expensive fix to...

So, I've posted a few times before about my Mother in Laws Pool issues, which there is no short fall of. Well we have stopped taking care of the pool for the year because of what the Pool Store called 'Hundreds of Pin-Hole Leaks'. Well, after letting the pool sit for 2 weeks now, the water has...

Good morning all! I will be having to drain my mother-in-laws pool in the near future and am wondering what my options are considering there is no main drain (or any drain on the bottom of the pool). Will I have to rent a big pump to do this, and if so, how big do I need or what are your...

Another question that is related to getting the new liner, there doesn't appear to be a main drain currently, if it's an old pool is it possible they did not include one? Or could they have covered it with the liner when it was installed 8 years ago? Any help is appreciated.

So keep it full meaning above the intake so the pump isn't sucking air? How long would you run the pump/filter if at all? Thanks, I enjoy insight and hope to hear some more.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, apologies if it's not. Here is what I'm dealing with and would appreciate any advice on what to do. Mother in Law is having leak issues in her in ground pool, she is going to replace the liner soon but since it is so late in the season she...

It all appears to be algae, I've tried feeling it with my fingers and have felt nothing coarse. When I backwash the filter I see a few sand kernels in the sight glass but when I rinse they go away. Is that normal? Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

The laterals are all brand new. I went ahead and replaced the sand and laterals a month ago because we weren't sure what was causing build up in the pool (it wasn't sand it was algae, oops) my hesitation with that is I bought sand from a Hayward dealer that said he used it in all pumps with the...

Getting rid of Dead Algae with Sand Filter So I have been SLAMing my Mother in laws pool to the best of my ability. I started the process on Sunday and have kept the FC level above 13 (16 since Tuesday due to some help) the pool has cleared up very nicely and the CC has been 0 for 24 hours. I...

Re: Green Pool improving, but help. So after brushing and vacuuming to waste I notice that what appears to be algae is shooting out of the jets. Is there anything I can do to prevent that or just wait for it to settle and vacuum it up later?

Re: Green Pool improving, but help. It has been calibrated. Like I mentioned in the OP my dad works for our local water board and has used their equipment to verify my results. I've been adding 68% cal-hypo in the morning (after testing FC) and in the evening because it's too far away to swing...

Re: Green Pool improving, but help. I've been maintaining a FC of over 13 since monday, been as high as 24 the first night. Been using a Hach Colorimeter II for FC tests so I'm confident they are right. I am waiting on a tf 100 in the mail but am using what I have for now. Sent from my...

Re: Green Pool improving, but help. I sort of misspoke when I said 5 inch leak, that includes evaporation which is anywhere from an inch or two a day. Anyways, I do appreciate that info but she has a few parties already planned for this summer and wants the water warm and pretty. So far after...

Re: Green Pool improving, but help. New liner is planned for end of this season. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk
