    Muriatic Acid Cost Spike

    It's no surprise to me that the cost of chlorine and acid have gone up in the past few years, given the chlorine shortage and general inflation. However, I was stunned today to find Muriatic Acid at $17 a 2 gal case at Home Depot - up $7 (70% !!) from a few years ago. I've got one of those pools...

    Aqua Rite doesn't seem to be generating chlorine

    I've had an Aqua Rite Goldline T-15 for a little over 2 years now, and it has worked great to this point. However, for some reason I now can't seem to keep chlorine up in the pool. The only LEDs on are solid green for "Power" and "Generating" (just like I would expect for nominal ops). Now for...

    Hayward AquaRite Install Question

    HI all, I'm preparing to get a SWG system, and thinking about going with the AquaRite system. One challenge I have is in identifying a long enough stretch of pipe to accommodate the cell/flow switch install. From looking at the installation youtube video, I have just enough room to install the...

    Looking for 5 Gal Chlorine Carboys

    I've decided to make an attempt at being just a little bit more echo friendly by buying my chlorine in refillable bulk. It's starting to bother me to have empty gallon jugs and cardboard boxes in my recycle bin every week. There are hurdles though, as always. If I choose to go the route of...

    My Fussy Liquidator

    I've had my Liquidator now for a little over a month, and have a *love/hate* relationship with this thing. Simply put, I love it when it works, and hate it when it doesn't; and for my system, I never know (day-to-day) when it's going to work. For the last week, it has not worked but sometimes...

    Stock Liquidator Not Working. Not Too Surprised But...

    I just installed my Liquidator. I've read rabbit's thread on the 3/8's line conversion but thought I'd first start off with the stock 1/4" setup just to see what I get. What I got was no reading on the flow meter... nota... zilch... I've included a picture of the system with the pump on, just...

    Liquidator Installation Question

    I would like to install the Liquidator Outlet line at the pool-pipe before it meets the pool/spa Jandy valve just before the suction side of the pump. A picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look at the red arrow in the attached photo to see where I would ultimately drill a hole in the...

    Liquidator Tank Dimensions

    Hi all, I'm looking into purchasing the Liquidator but my pool equipment area is a little bit tight. Can someone let me know what the 4-Gallon tank dimensions are? Thanks in advance for the help...

    SWG Systems and Copper Pipes

    I just purchased a Pool Pilot Digital for my very old swimming pool, and since my plumbing is a little complicated, I had decided to contact a professional to do the installation. For the most part, my plumbing is PVC above the surface but all under ground lines coming and going to the pool are...

    New to TFP, and looking for ideas on managing high CYA

    I've been a pool owner for 8 years now, and have been doing self-maintenance for 7.9 years (only took a few weeks of having a pool guy before realizing I needed to do this myself). I discovered this gem of a website a few weeks ago -- not sure how this site managed to escape me for so long but...
