In the middle of a SLAM and can finally start to see bottom. Been through 2 "Big Box" store cleaners(useless). Need something to get me through the SLAM. What is best now a days? Mainly mud and DE cleanup.

Noticed the other day the pool floor was dirty. After a few days of watching, realized that my Polaris (which is on AUX1 relay) wasn't turning on. But manual works fine. Checked the times to make sure everything was on the correct time, it was. Went into the menu to make sure it was still on the...

Need to replace my cell, wanting to know where and what everyone is buying? Name brand or Aftermarket? And I see plenty of "Deals" out there but then reading into the "Deals" only come with 1 year warranties. As opposed to 3 years. What you guys think? Who really has the "Deal"?

I have a Aqua Logic PS-4 control panel/SWG. It has the 4 relays that it comes with used, I would like to add a 5th relay for a 2 speed pump. There is a socket labeled AUX Relays 3-6 on the circuit board. How do I get to those in the menu? I plugged a relay in and wanted to see if I could get it...

Having issues with my system again. This time "LOW SALT" with CHECK SYSTEM light on. I soldiered the leg on the K1 relay a few years ago for a NO FLOW issue. Worked fine until now. Don't see any Varistor like everybody seems to replace? Going to get the cell checked at the store, it is 4-5 years...

I'm going on year 3 of BBB, I have not added ANY additional Borates since I started the method! Can this be right? No real measurable water loss other than backwashing and evap. I measured the other day, still 50, same as last year! I guess I want to know what are you guys seeing and doing each...

Looking for replacement cushions for my furniture. Kind of odd cushions as they are double thickness cushions. Looked at all the big box stores last fall and there are little choices in this style. Anybody used any of the websites to "Build" your own? Or a discount websites out there? I hate to...

Aqualogic T-15 cell installed, went from 2900 to 2600 in 2 days. I have changed nothing and added/lost no water? reading like around 24V and 4 amps. Tested water with my Aquacheck strips it says 2880? I hate these strips, wildly inaccurate. Cant read the serial number on the cell, but it was...

Guy's what do you think, 55* water temp. Shock or wait till it gets warmer?

More than halfway through the second swim season I have officially certified them as legit! Pool water has not risen 1 degree over 85* in the last month even with temps in the 100's temperature is steady! Running the filter at night for 9 hours keeps the temp at 85*! During the daytime...

Well were going into the second swim season on the BBB method, and I'm finally reaping the full benefits of Borating on the BBB method! My PH has stabilized to the point it stopped climbing up! I added Borates last season and didn't really see anything from it but this year doing the same thing...

When looking at Jandy valves there are 2 sizes listed 1.5/2 2/2.5, I assume the PVC can either go inside the valve or outside, correct? Is there a better way, inside or out? Or is this just to narrow down the sizes for more of a universal design for Jandy to produce fewer valve sizes instead of...

I'm trying to help out a neighbor with his Polaris 3900 and we have been working on this thing for hours and can't get to drive right! I have adjusted Polaris's before and there is a bit of trial and error but this thing come on! When set in the water it starts running straight but the front...

I am getting ready to replumb my filter pad. Currently I have no unions on my pumps and no service ball valves or check valves in my pump setup. I think I am defiantly going to use 2" unions on the pump but it would be nice when doing maintenance on the the filter or pump to be able to prevent...

I think April 1 is the earliest we have ever swam! Felt good! Waters perfect already! Temp was 79*, wish it would stay this way all summer!

We had a big storm last night, lots of lightening and heavy rain. 4.5 inches according to the rain gauge! Good thing I drained half the pool this past weekend and spent yesterday adding salt and bleach! Adjusted the water level last night in preparation for the storm but this morning I was...

I've always had this problem since filling, this year I thought I would try to hit this hard right away. I drained a little less than half (12978gals) this weekend and refilled. I went from the 500's to now 400 exact! Still not happy with that number. My tap water is 160, pretty hard! What kind...

Aside from SVRS what are the differences between 011017 and 011018? And is it worth the $200 difference?

I was fooling around today in my Aqua-logic P4 panel and I unlocked the configuration menu and in the Filter mode hitting the plus you can change between 1 and 2 speed pumps? But I have been told that I can not control a 2 speed pump with my system?? Is this just standard software loaded on all...

Well the weather has been getting warmer here and the water is finally staying around the 59* mark consistently so it's time to check the numbers. FC 4 CC 0 TC 4 PH 8.2 CYA 55-60 TA 110 Hardness 550 Borates 30-50 looks like either...lol Salt 3100 Really impressed with the Borates holding all...

Got a wiring question for you guru's! I currently has a SS Whisperflo and am wanting to go to a 2 speed Whisperflo. My automation system in a Aqualogic P4 system with 4 relays. I currently have all 4 used. One for the filter, one for the lights, one for the Polaris and one for a dedicated...

Well this season is over for the cooling towers, I think? Pool water is now down to 77*! After 68 days of 100+ this summer it finally cooled off the last few days and I forgot to take the towers out so the water got down to 82* before the ladies in house said no more ! But I wanted to see how...

I'm getting complaints in my house that the 2 cooling towers and making the water to cold! LOL Water is only 83* quit complaining! Have built a third tower on standby but so far this year 2 is working just fine. 29k never felt so good!

Looking for a outdoor clock/temp. gauge? I've had the high dollar and cheapo's the salt water eats them up in a few months and lock up the movements. Anybody got a suggestions??

I took a few pictures today, been borated for about 10 weeks now.

Have a Happy and safe 4th of July everybody!

Main panel circuit board went out "Cell No Power" fix didn't work! Rather than replacing the board I'm so fed up with Hayward and there Crud I'm thinking of replacing the whole main panel. Everything I have is Pentair except the SWG. Thinking of going with a Pentair Automation Panel, Easytouch...

Looking for a Blackmax rebuild kit, can't find to many places with decent prices other than pool supply world? Not much on Fleabay either? Any suggestions?

Borated for the first time at the beginning of this year to try to bring down my MA usage, but I'm still using 1 gallon a week? My TA has been hovering at 70-80 for the last month and Borate level is at 50. Should I lower my TA down to around 50-60 and see if that works? Anybody have any luck...

Ok guy's, this what I got. I have spent the last few weeks going over reviews of pumps both 2 speed and VS and I'm not sure which way to go. My CURRENT price I'm paying for electricity is .10c, but I know electricity is only going to go up so right now 2 speed is the way to go but 2 years from...
