I have a Dolphin Premier cleaner with a 3 prong cable. Not working this season. Moved a little bit then nothing. Should all 3 prongs on the cable have continuity for it to work? I’m only getting continuity on 2 prongs.

Getting my pool ready for summer. We have had a lot of rain here where I am at and I am trying to get all my levels back right. After having to drop water levels a dozen times during the rain, my levels were pretty much none. My levels are TA=40 FC=2ppm CC=1ppm pH=7.2 CYA=0 or not registering...

Due to all of the rain tropical storm Lee has dropped, I now have water behind the liner on my walls. It doesn't appear too bad at this point. It is worse is one of the corners in the shallow end. Floors look good. It appears to start mostly at the water level and goes down about a foot below...

For people that are lazy like me and don't feel like stooping over or getting on your knees to clean out your skimmers, I ordered a snake hook. It works great for removing the lid to skimmers and also to get the skimmer baskets out to clean them. I have found several uses besides that to, like...

I have been trying to get my SWCG percent and power levels set up. The minimum FC on here in the chart and calculator is 4ppm and recommended is 6ppm. The manufacturer recommends 1-3ppm and when I spoke with them they insisted I was putting unnecessary stress on my cell trying to maintain...

Do the power levels on SWCG's overlap or are they separate? Meaning is power level 2 at 75% less output than power level 3 at 10%? I have been running at power level 2 at 60% (of course at night the % is lower due to pool pilot compensating for water temp) and first day or 2 it seemed to be...

Should I calibrate the system as far as salt and temp to the test strips and thermometer or leave it set from the factory? Also, what is a good starting point for output? My old system didn't have percentage only operated on run time.

What is the purpose of the digital pump relay in the pool pilot digital, is it to replace my intermatic timer? I just ordered one to replace my polaris autoclear plus that died. Right now, the intermatic timer provides power to everything so when it is off all of my equipment is off. Should the...

Anyone have a recommended place to order the borate test strips? I went to all three pool stores in my town and no one had them.

Can anyone explain to me the what these two positions are used for? Thanks!

I edited this because I have narrowed it down to these three. Anyone make any suggestions as to which and why? Can any of these automatically adjust chlorine output? Anyone provide any feedback or suggestions on a new SWG system for my pool? My current one is not working and really isn't the...

I have a saltwater pool, and I accidentally let my FC fall too low and now I have an algae problem. Even though my OCLT only lost 1ppm and my CC is 0.5 I have algae. My question is looking at the pool calculator, it says to raise it to 21ppm to shock, but looking at the chlorine/cya chart it...

I have an old 3.5 ton rheem heat pump (outside and inside units) that I removed from my house. Any way that I can convert this and use it to cool my pool in the summer (water is 95 degrees now) and heat it in the winter? I have searched and not really come across anything yet. Some way that I...

I read the how to and I followed to the instructions and added it until PSI increased by one. Came back a couple hours later and it had increased by 7 to 8 PSI so I backwashed again and it is back down to 14-15. This may be a stupid question, but the instructions said after the first time you...

Just thought I'd throw that out there for those who need a cleaner.

CL-5 BR-10 pH-7.5 TA-70 FC-7 CC-0.5 CYA-80

Big thank you to this board and all of those who have helped!! I panicked at first (never owned a pool) and after some reading and advice from a few on here I am up and running with all good levels so far. I was thinking this was going to be a headache but so far with your help it's been a...

Just got my system up and running (foreclosed home purchase). The panel on my autoclear plus is reading now 2400ppm, 5.1 amps, and 22.3 volts. Of course the LEDs on it are reading very low salt and it will eventually shut off at 1500ppm. When I tested the salt level just a few minutes ago, I got...

PH-6.8 TA-30 CH-50 CYA-60 FC-2.5 66-0 SALT-3390 Also, first test I did was the little blue box that gave me the pH. The yellow side was CL-2, BR-4. Pool finished filling this past Sunday, salt and stabilizer was added Monday around noon.

Pool company just came out and put in 800lbs of salt to my pool. He said he didn't have time to add the stabilizer but told me to take out the skimmer basket and put it in there a little at at time. No levels have been tested yet as my kit hasn't come in yet and they didn't test either. They...

I will try to post this question in the correct forum :) . Below is a picture of the suction side of my pump. There are 3 (one not show) pipes coming in. The one with the ball valve, and two ran through the other. There is a main drain and two skimmers so I don't know which line is which. The...

Just purchased a foreclosed home (pics over in the construction forum) and had the liner replaced. The pool should be full tomorrow and the pool company will be out Monday to fire things up and add salt. The pool is a 20 x 40 true L from what I have been told (I know nothing about pools and this...

Me and the wife purchased a foreclosed home in Alabama. The pool was horrible when we purchased it and we have been waiting on the new liner to come in. After a month of waiting, it is in and the pool company started pumping the water out. Wow at the stench from the pool!! This is our first pool...
