    Need suggestions on a skimmer leak repair

    My pool has been losing 1/2 inch water every day. After weeks of troubleshooting, I believe I found where the leak is. Now the water level is below the skimmer, the water loss started to slow down. I believe the leak spot is on the inside of the skimmer face plate (where my arrows point to in...

    Green pool. High PH, Low alkalinity. Please help!

    Thank you for you suggestions. I just added a brief signature line, will fill in more details later. My pool had a salt generator, but the cell has been broken. So I have used liquid chlorine in the past year. Occasionally I used that HTH shock stuff. I put no other chemicals in my pool. I do...

    My pool was flooded around about 1 week ago by a big storm. A lot of water rushed in from my lawn.

    Stains from Clorox pool salt.

    I have seen the staining problem about clorox pool salt from various of forum. Unfortunately, our local walmart only carries this clorox brand now. So I have no choice but to give it a try. I used morton salt before, and I always just pour 2 bags on the stairs and leave them there. So I did the...

    Instant salt reading low (-2000) on my Aquarite

    Thanks for your help. I am shopping around to buy a new cell. Just another silly question. Do I have to get an OEM cell from hayward, or can I try one of those 'generic replacements'? Those are a lot cheaper than the OEM ones. For example, this one: Platinum Edition Replacement Salt Cell for...

    Instant salt reading low (-2000) on my Aquarite

    Sorry I was wrong regarding the voltage. I just stepped out of my house and turned on the system. The readings are: 27.8V, 3.8A, -2000. If I 'reverse the polarity' by switching to off then back to auto, the readings become: 27V, 5.2A, -3100. I took a picture of the cell tag, attched below. Not...

    Instant salt reading low (-2000) on my Aquarite

    Thanks for your reply. diagnostic readings: voltage is about 22V, current is about 3.4A, instant salt -1900. I believe these are the important numbers I bought this house 2 years ago. So the cell is at lease 2 years old. Can be a lot older than that. The cell is very clean. And I cleaned it with...

    Instant salt reading low (-2000) on my Aquarite

    Hello, I have an aquarite t-cell 15. It developed a problem recently. The low salt light was on, so added 4 bags of salt in there, and the salt reading was fine the next day. But a few days later, the average salt reading lowered down to 2700 again. So I went to the pool store and they told me...

    Pool Liner Floating!! Help Please

    Thanks for your reply. The liner went back to position after about 2 days. The wall looks ok. A lot of new wrinkles developed at the bottom. I actually had small wrinkles developed at the bottom all the time. For a long time I thought it was caused by pool chemicals. Now I realized, my liner may...
