Ok, just so I am clear. I live in Dallas TX. My pump runs 9hrs a day. So the 15K salt system would be to small? I should go up to a 24K? Would that not be too big? Thanks in advance for your help

Even if my pool is only 14K? Should the 15K work well?

In theory all chlorinators should function with automated controls as the control manufacturers do their best to keep things universally communicatable, correct? Will the CompuPool Salt Chlorine Generator for Inground pools work with the Aqualink rs4?

Pentair IntelliChlor IC15 Cell - 520888 Looking for a verdict on this salt system. Anyone know anything about it? Pro’s or Con’s? Does it work well? Is it reliable?

maxepr1 I am also looking to replace. What did you end up going with? Do you like it? How much did you end up paying?

Best salt generator for the money? Looking for options of what salt generator you guys like and know are reliable. My current one bit the dust and I can not even bring it in to get it tested. I am looking for best bang for the buck on my 14K pool. I am looking for not most expensive and also...

I believe I have however I am not sure. I am shocking morning and night per "BBB" post.

Update on my Algae fight. It has been almost a week. The pool turned from bright green to dull green grayish. I am keeping the chlorine high but I have had a lot of rain. I took a sample to the pool store, here are the results. FAC =2.5 TAC =2.5 PH =7.5 TA =80 CYA =0 TDS =1200 Phosphates...

Why not drop ph below 7.0 if your not going to be in the water and you know there is rain? What harm will it do?

I am fighting an algae problem. I am keeping my water chemistry in check. My local pool store is telling me that a lower PH will allow the chlorine to be at a higher level, is that true? Here is what they are telling me. Active Chlorine pH 97% 6.0 91% 6.5 76% 7.0 66% 7.2 50% 7.5 I do...

I searched but I could not find this answer. Does algaecide alter the Chlorine Levels? I am fighting an algae problem. I shocked the heck out of the pool and added algaecide. I also have Chlorine tabs in the floater. I tested the water 24hr later and it shows little Chlorine. Does the...

Update. I clean the filter with TSP. Grids look fine except the area where they are collapsed. Put DE back in the pool and we will see what happens. We have had storms here and I am fighting a terrible algae bloom. I am dumping bleach in and keeping chlorine level high. Any other ideas...

the auto valve on the right controls the side wall jets of the spa. where you see the words "pool return" below the left auto valve is a manual valve that controls the pool return or the fountain return

yes, I took it apart again just to make sure. The valve does not come into play unless I turn on the spa. That valve is jut a spring loaded door. All seals look to be in good condition.

I took off all the Phillips head screws but it will not come apart easy. This valve is an auto valve controled by the main key pad. If I press spa on the key pad it will auto turn the other way and the spa will run. I am not sure if it has gaskets so until I know more I do not want to pull...

Update. I clean the filter with acid. Put DE back in the pool and we will see what happens. Also just another piece of info, a couple of the grids is collapsed on the top. This happened a year ago when the pump went out. I then replaced the pump and all the grids. What do you think is...

Here you go

The picture shows start up 1st thing in the morning.

Low fountain flow I am going to start a new post to give all the currents facts. I have a flow issue. The pool runs great for about 1 to 3 hours, then I have very little flow to a fountain in a spa that feeds the pool. In the morning when the pool 1st starts up it take about 20sec for the...

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A.

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. I open up the filter to look and no dirt or algae.

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. No because of a test today after I cleaned the DE filter I did not put any DE in. So this is happening with no DE in.

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. Update, when I start to lose pressure from the fountain, my filter reads 33psi. Also the motor filter basket is not completely filled with water. There is an air gap. Maybe an inch. So I can see air in the motor basket but this does...

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. I like his idea. Question, what happens to the pressure on the grids if socks are used and (worst case) the skimmers get clogged with debris? Would the pressure increase thus collapsing the grids again?

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. I like your idea, thanks. Also what if I put in some sort of bag filter in line? That way I can cut down on how often the DE filter needs cleaning and reduce the pressure?

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. So I should increase the load on the motor, thus reducing the HP like a variable motor?

Re: A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A. Aqualink rs4 Hayward DE2420L Filter AutoClear salt system

A year ago my pump went out and I replaced it with an A.O. Smith B130 2.4hp. I believe my old pump was a 2hp. I have a 14K pool with 2 skimmers, a fountain in the spa that flow like a waterfall back into the pool and a sheer decent feature. Also went the pump went out it collapsed a lot of...

Good call mas985. I open my filter and found a nice shade of green. I cleaned the filters and I will update in future if all is good. Thanks!

Sorry. DE filter. Starts at 20 after backwash and goes to 30 when I lose pressure
