Installed this last month (my first pump replacement as a pool owner. Worked fine for what i guess was 1-2 weeks. For those unfamiliar, you need to stop the motor with the 'stop' button to program or adjust the pump schedule. This i was able to do early on. Now the stop button does nothing. I...

My 5 year old Hayward 1.5 HP Super Pump is starting to make noise this summer (a low pitched ring) and I am starting to think about getting a replacement. Maybe its not going to die yet, but i need to start looking for replacements. Is a variable pump a 'no-brainer' choice? I have a Pentair IC...

Hi. Just started to open a few hours ago and my pump is not acting normal. Everything was set to turn on the pump. I filled filter chamber with water. I turned it on and it just makes a noise. It seems to be a buzzing noise at the pump, i don't leave it on long enough to go over there to hear...

I have been using the Diamond Crystal brand salt crystals in my pool SWG (as well as my water softener system) for the last year and i know they are often recommended on this site. My autofill for the pool comes from my house, which is from the water softener system. I can buy the Morton...

Hi. Just started my first 2 weeks with the Pentair IC 60. I will describe my setup and what readings I am getting and then I will ask my questions after that, if that is ok. Cell is plumbed in after heater, before the pipe heads back to pool. No flow issues (thank god). It is powered off the...

I'm going to throw myself at the mercy of the forum here and ask for some advice. Pool open has always been easy for me, I usually just shocked, vacuumed, brushed and backwashed and in 3-4 days my water was clear (I take detailed notes every year so that been the norm). This year I got screwed...

I asked some questions a couple of months back, now I have installed the Pentair IC 60 and power box. The pool is still covered (and water green) but I am preparing to open maybe in a week. Readings today: Hardness 90 CYA <30 (never got dot to disappear) Salt (my first ever test) 2 drops, so...

This will be my 5th summer opening and running my pool, but my first with a SWG. Previously I had run a Pool Frog with chlorine tabs, but that is all behind me now. I'd like to start opening in early May and will SLAM the pool before adding the salt, so I am starting to look at what I need to...

Good morning everyone. I'll try to keep this post short and not get into the weeds of the details. Currently I use the 5400 pool frog ionizer with chlorine pucks for my pool. Also have a chlorinator installed (per the contractors suggestion at the time of building 2018). I'd like to attach...

good morning everyone. while putting on my cover a few months back a ran into a bunch of cover anchors that had obviously accumulated dirt etc inside. unscrewing them was difficult and this one (see pictures) was the one casualty. the long 'allen key' i had is basically unusable now. i...
