So my AquaRite T15 Cell went down for the count 2 days ago I believe and my daughters 10th birthday is tomorrow. I tried cleaning the cell with 4:1 muriatic acid. It appeared to work very well on one side but not so much the other. The salt level dropped drastically after cleaning all the way...

We live in Oklahoma and we’ve had what I thought was dirt in the pool from the heavy winds for the last 2 weeks. I’m starting to think it’s sand from our filter. I’ve noticed it’s usually in the morning when it shows up. (After our pump runs from 8pm to 8am. Last night we had the pool crystal...

Our water is cloudy. We've had the pool for 2.5 years and its the first time I've seen it this way. Its 27,000 gallons and saltwater. The water has just gotten above 60 degrees today so I don't think our SWG has been producing chlorine when the pump has been running. I added to 2 gallons of...

Trying to test run our pump on a generator if needed during a freeze. It’s a Hayward eco star variable speed. The display goes blank when plugged into the generator but the buttons are lit up. Does anyone know a solution to this or why it’s happening,

We live in Oklahoma and are currently in day 2 of an extreme cold spell for February. Temps are supposed to be below freezing until Friday. I’ve been busting up around the skimmers 3 times a day and running pump on 2500rpm all day. We also have aqua genie skimmers. I put 2 liter bottles halfway...

Is it necessary to try to clear any water left in the waterfall tank to prevent freezing? Usually every time I turn on the water a small amount of water shoots out before the lines get full. I tried using a shop vac to clear the lines but nothing came out. I live in Oklahoma. We keep our Pool...

Just built our own pool and trying to figure out how to backwash without the hose busting. The problem is that when I turn my pump on it primes and pumps too much water for my 2 inch hose. Is there a way for me to limit the amount of water coming through? I’ve read the suggestions on getting a...

Recently built our own pool with poolwarehouse kit. We are planning on keeping it uncovered and running during the fall/winter months. I have been battling High Alkalinity throughout the summer. Do most people keep their SWG running through the winter and if so whats a typical %? Ours is...

Recently installed a new pool myself. Its been running for about 2 weeks. I just noticed some white flakes coming out of the returns and sitting on the bottom of the pool. From reading on the forum, it seems as though those are calcium flakes from my SWG. Last week I added a gallon of...

Just finished the pool and I can’t seem to get the aqua rite to get the correct readings. I put 17 bags of salt in. I waited for 24 hours with pump running. As soon as I turn the aqua rite on, it turns red with low salt and the check cell light comes on. Independent test shows 2350 on strip...

Just finished pool Crete and there is a leak coming through side wall from ground water. We installed a French drain under the pool in case of ground water but this water is resting on top of the pool Crete. Pool builder wants to patch where leak is and try to keep water out. Should we dig some...

I have a plastic niche for my deep end light that has a copper lug inside of it. I don't know if it satisfies the 9 square inch requirement for water bond. There is a metal strip in the top of the niche but it is smaller than 9 square inches I believe. If the deep end ladder base is bonded...

I am confused on the bonding of my light niche. I bonded the exterior lug with the 8 gauge wire to the exterior equipotential grid. This picture looks like there is a separate bonding inside the light. Is that one just part of the chord light or another bare copper wire? Which copper wire serves...

New to the site and building our first pool. We purchased a kit from poolwarehouse.com. 18'x40' polymer panel rectangle with tanning ledge in shallow end. We bought a Hayward Ecostar Variable Speed Pump and 30' sand filter. We will have 2 aqua genie skimmers with three separate returns for a...
