I have a VS pump and have been favouring lower speeds. I have time periods where it run low, and others where it runs relatively fast. With the low speeds I have noticed: 1. surface skimming is really slow and arguably not very effective. 2. SWG is not kicking in at these low levels. A side...

I am asking/trying to answer similar questions. I had an EcoStar Pump that died and I had the option to replace it with the 2.7HP or 1.85HP VSP and went with the 1.85HP version simply because the 1.5 plumbing I have would not be able to sustain the GPM of the powerful pump anyways. I never ran...

Last night after replacing our dying T15 sale cell with a 940, pump did not start. I thought it could be because the water all drained from that section of plumbing but the basket in the pump was full and even after trying to dump buckets of water into the basket to flood the inside of the pump...

I have these circular patches on the side and bottom of our viynl pool and slowly the pool cleaner has lifted their edges. These patches predate me. What could they be for? They seem to be in a line pattern making me think of a strong chemical that was dropped and damaged the liner? And...

Hi there, I do not know the history of our SWG and its cell, but we have been using it for 2 years now with good success on salt levels reported on the Hayward Aquarite SWG. This year, after opening, and adding 5 bags of salt (to compensate for the drain/refill) salt cell was reading 2400 (when...

We have recently had a gas heater installed. Pentair model. I know for heater to be able to heat the water, you need to have the pump running faster. But I didn't expect it to affect the operation of the water pump in any other way in normal operation when not heating. I have noticed the...

Hi guys, In general new to pool ownership, 2nd year. and this year I opened the pool myself. Now that the water is warm enough (19 C - 67 F) I started the SWG. After a minute of turning it on, I get a white / cloudy stream. I read some articles suggesting, maybe air leak, maybe low CYA...

Hi there, I got a 2006C testing kit from a friend but also getting the water testing by our local shop (for those who know Ottawa, it is Purewater). I have a salt water pool, with a Hayward Aquarite SWCG (T15 cell). it reads the salt level at 3000. 1. Running at around 40% (SWG setting), we...

Hi there, We are in Ottawa, ON. Weather is cooler in May and even in June with showers. E.g. we are expecting a week of rain on/off this week to give an example. Temperatures are around 20 C(68F) during the day, and 12C(55F) during night, and we don't have a heater. Wondering how effective...

Well, here we are. After purchasing a house with an in ground pool, we are also TFP members now. We are in Ottawa, ON with a relatively short season and hoping to make the most of it. It didn't start that well. Posted my question in the other channel. Cheers

Before I start, thanks everyone for any suggestions and ideas you may share. I am new here, new to owning a pool, and it wasn't the smooth start I expected. This is the last 3 wks summary, but I will keep it short. A local company opened our pool, shocked it really good but in about 2 days...
