With the weather being warmer, it’s time to get the SWG going again. Tested and balanced the water. Cleaned the SWG and put everything back together. On the Hayward Pro Logic, it’s telling me “chlorinator off, no flow”. I don’t know how long it has been saying this. Could have been months. I...

Background: I haven't been able to physically service my pool in three months, but I'm back on it now. From the readings, obviously, there's a lot of work to do. This post is for one particular oddity that I don't really have an answer for. I'm coming across white scaly flakes at the bottom of...

My SWG won't turn of due to a low salt warning it's throwing me. The equipment is reading 2200 ppm but my testing is consistently saying 3400 ppm. Obviously, the water is where it's suppose to be, salt-wise. I clean the cell at regular intervals. When this has happened in the past, I'll do an...

My cleaner has been absolutely great ever since my pool was installed nearly three years ago. Recently, I noticed the sweep hose had disconnected and the cleaner was getting stuck in the same corner all the time. The sweep hose end looked tired, so I cut off a half an inch of it and reinstalled...

I have a pool I’ve been taking care of for two years now, no problem, with a K-2006 and K-1766. Other than a couple of issues in the beginning that you all helped me with, it’s been smooth sailing. It’s fair to say I’m pretty anal and keep on top of the maintenance daily, which has costed me a...

I'm going to be buying chemicals online and in bulk, so I'll need to find ways to measure them out when putting them in the pool. Been using this for a while for things like muriatic acid, liquid chlorine, and anything else for volume and it's worked well. For weight, I have no idea what to use...

Here's where I'm currently at: Test Reading FC (ppm) 5.5 CC (ppm) 0.0 pH 7.6 TA (ppm) 70 CH (ppm) 190 CYA (ppm) 75 Salt (ppm) 2000 SWG (ppm) 2700 Temp 62 According to the water balance documentation, CH needs to be around 350-450. Just got back from my local pool store...

I am not able to run my spa spill pump and pool/spa lights at the same time. If you turn on one when the other is on, it will turn the other off. That doesn't seem right to me. Should I be able to run both of these things at the same time? I'm asking this question here first before I ask the...

We've had a ton of rainfall in the last two weeks here. Lots of wind. Lots of debris. The pool clarity was holding up fine for a while, but now it's entirely cloudy. I'll try and get a pic up soon. The spa looks fine, though. Here were the last tests I took when there was a lull in all of the...

We had a big wind two weeks ago which put a lot of leaves in the pool. Since then, I would say only 50% of it has been cleaned up since then. I'll post pictures so you can see exactly how much that is. I feel like I am constantly untangling the cord (even though it has tons of those tangle-free...

My SWG at 50% is producing too much chlorine, so I need to adjust it. Here are the last two test results. One when the weather was high 90s and now with it around mid 60s. Date 2016-10-07 2016-10-22 Free Chlorine 5.2 ppm 12 ppm Combined Chlorine 0.2 ppm 0 ppm pH 8.0 8.2 Total...

My SWG is reading salt at 3600 ppm. My K-1766 is reading it at 4000 ppm. I feel like that is a large discrepancy, but I've been told that is within the margin of error. What reading should I go by to make further decisions on balancing my water?

Hello all, My name is Rich and we just had our 22,000 gallon in-ground pool and spa completed a month ago. Instead of hiring a professional to take care of it, I will be doing all of the maintenance myself. I'm a fairly handy guy, so this should be a new and fun hobby for me. I have a lot of...
