    Hayward W3AQR15 Woes

    UPDATE: I'm generating chlorine now! What a relief! Thanks @JamesW for reaching out to help troubleshoot. The Taylor test kit does have some weird instructions that can cause you to do the test wrong (it says "fill 25mL sample tube to 10mL mark" which if you aren't paying close attention...

    Hayward W3AQR15 Woes

    So I'm still stuck with a broken SWCG :( I honestly would be very hesitant to recommend anyone get the Hayward SWCG unit after my experience -- especially for the type of people I see posting here who are willing to do the work on their pool themselves. I kind of wish I would have gone with...

    Pollen Bombs go BOOM

    I just used up my last 8.25% - All the local HEBs had been out of the "Regular" for days right when we were getting bombarded by all the oak pollen. Now they have the new redesigned label of course I immediately confirmed the percentage and died a little inside. HEB, why hast thou forsaken...
