Of course I forgot the picture but here they are. We had that big storm come through Mass last night so the general wetness is from last night’s heavy rain.

So I’m attaching a few pictures, including a pulled back view of the whole system. But the slow seeping leak is at the connection where you can see the blue tape. Regarding post #2 for the high temp union with o-ring that seals to the pump, I’m not ignoring that but I just replicated what had...

So the origin of all this, and I started a thread on it last year, was my pump overheated at the end of last year’s pool season and a threaded connection blew off the top of the pump. This pump was replaced under warranty and I replaced the pvc connections that were warped as well. I nursed the...

Hey thanks, the white fitting did come with the pump, along with some tape. I would describe the theads as straight and not tapered, but long story short the pump was replaced under warranty and they sent the new fitting with it. An installer set up the original pump and system and I...

Hello all, I have a new Hayward SP SP2670007x10 with a new threaded fitting which threads onto the top of the pump on the return side. I’ve attached a photo to show where I cannot get the threaded connection to stop leaking (I have not fully screwed the connection onto the pump in the picture...

Hey just looking at this again after a few weeks as I made due with the issue until I and closed my pool. I think I noticed some bubbles in the pump housing and also the pump would immediately lose its prime when I shut it off. I’m going to have a professional look at the pump and housing, I...

Thank you, I understand what you’re saying about it being impossible by design. I’m just confused as I see no water leaking and the overall water level is holding steady. So I don’t believe there is an underground leak. I’ve had times in the past where I haven’t been able to get the pump to...

Hey revisiting this after a week or so. My connections seem water tight, no leaks (with the help of some flex seal) for now. My returns, however, are consistently gurgling and passing a lot of air bubbles back into the pool. Also there seems to be an unusual amount of air blowing out from the...

So my finger is pointing to the mentioned areas. Where I’m pointing to the connection on the pump housing is a threaded connection, it unseated from that threaded connection and the fitting was warped. I replaced the fitting and rethreaded (with plumber’s tape) it into the the female threads of...

i keep getting an error saying my images are too big to upload so I’m trying to figure that out….

Hey I have a Hayward SP2670007x10. I drained some water off the pool thru waste, capped it back up, turned the pump back on but forgot to switch the valve it back to filter setting. Back pressure blew a threaded pipe off the pump (I’m not happy with myself). So I have some water seepage where...

Hey all, Thanks in advance for any input on this - should the Hayward TCELL 940 Be listed as T-9 or T-15 in the AquaRite 900 menu system?

Guys thank you very much. I switched from chlorine to SWG this year and I was stuck on the old way of using the Pool Math app. My wife tells me I’m an idiot and like in many cases, she’s right. This forum is such a great resource for pool owners, I learned about it from a friend who owns a pool...

Thank you very much, this was the aha moment I guess I was searching for. I didn’t realize that SWG was a sanitizer option in Pool Math and that picture cleared it up. But I have a follow up - what is the value represented under “24 hour SWG Output”. You used a 2 in your example but I’m not sure...

Hey thanks for these responses. I remain confused as I’m working thru this. I’m pretty familiar with Pool Math and have used it the last several years before this year’s switch to the SWG. I’m not sure how I can use it to calculate % and run time. Mknauss you said to set the SWCG to generate 3...

Hi everyone, I had started a similar thread about test kits but I guess I need some general help with my new switch to SWG from chlorine so I’m starting this thread. The new SWG pool is a vinyl liner with about 20,000 gallons, DE filter and Hayward TCell 940 w/ Hayward AquaRite 900. New water...

Ok thanks I mostly follow this but I have two follow ups. What product should I get to add cya? I can follow the SWG instruction manual recommendations to add the suggested amount of salt, but how do I know when it’s actually up and running properly?

Hi so my new SWG pool (vinyl liner with about 22,000 gallons, DE filter and Hayward TCell 940 w/ Hayward AquaRite 900) pool pump, filter and chlorinater have been up and running since Friday. Since Friday I’ve added 8 bags of salt (not all at once), as the AquaRite manual said I would probably...

Thanks for the info, I just ordered that add on kit. What levels do I continue to test - pH and FC or I ignore the FC and focus on the salt?

Hey all - I was a new pool owner 4 summers ago and we’re just finishing a renovation and a conversion from chlorine to a salt water system. This website was a tremendous help in bringing me up to speed with the old pool, and I expect it will continue to be a great resource with the new pool...

I’ve come across a condundrum while installing a Hayward pool light model #SP0670U. The light came with 10 screws to install the light face plate, gasket and rear bracket on each side of the pool wall. The supplied screws are listed as #13 1 1/4 inches. I’ve attached a picture from the manual...

Thanks for reply. I think I figured it out and it’s a Hayward threaded wall plate.
