My old SWG is coming to the end of its life I'm afraid (must be 10-12 years old, previous owner had it for several years before we moved in 3 years ago). Had it on max for 2 months now - salt level good - but it's just not generating as it used too. Unit is old and rusty also. This old model...

Hi all I have a J100SC justchlor SWG - self-cleaning cells. I have noticed a big deposit on what seems to be an earth probe. The wire leading to it is the typical yellow/green color and seems to be just a grounding probe. Does it have any other purpose? I ask this due to the large...

Hi Guys, I need to fix a small hole (size of a dime) in my 12 yr old fibre pool. Right at the bottom of the pool. Looking at pool putty or patches (cannot drain the pool)...

I'll be building some new wooden doors on my pump/filter enclosure but would like to add some soundproofing material also. I have several wifi linked devices in the enclosure that already have a weak signal due to being far from the access point. What kind of material could I use that would...

Hi all, We're just coming out of winter and performed some basic tests and cleaning on our fiberglass pool. We noticed there was a white film on the sides when wiped with our hand. See photo attached. Not sure what it is exactly after reading some articles. Calcium deposits, fiberglass...

Hi guys, Sorry for my ignorance but I've always had a doubt about how a heat pump would work if the pool temp is still high but the ambient air temp is low. Let's say my pool is at 30c already and the air temp is only 20c. Can the heat pump still transfer heat to the water and keep it at 30c...

A month ago I returned from vacation to find 2 collapsed pipes on the pergola where the solar collectors are situated. Only on the outlet side. I had left the solar collector valve a little open just to have a small amount of flow through them. After entering the house and checking the pool I...

Sorry for my ignorance but what is bonding? Is it a North American term for grounding/earthing? Thanks

Since we moved into our new house with the existing pool we've spent quite a bit on the equipment so far. Now the pump had to be changed. Looks like the 10 years the owner had it up and running was lucky. First week I moved in the multivalve port broke. First expense. Then a ton of salt as the...

Currently I have this excellent semi-rigid cover. Rolls back in 2-3 mins. Now I have my solar panels on a lot and am trying to maintain the temp above 31c! We are in summer here and get daytime temperatures anywhere between 20 and 35+. But at night can drop to 16c often with a lot of cool...

Hi guys, A couple of months ago I installed 12m2 of solar collectors on our pergola next to the pool. After a week of testing the panels were not collecting much heat. They are of an open tube kind (gaps between the small black tubes). With more than 100% coverage the temp difference between...

I'm planning on moving my solar collectors and increasing the number of panels. Currently have about 100% panel area to pool surface area. New location will have lots more space and out of sight. We want to increase this % to 150% or more to increase the output and widen the season. Now do I...

Hi all, My name is Chris and we have just purchased a new house with a salt water pool. I'm British but live in Uruguay with my Uruguayan wife and son. Never would have imagined we'd end up with a pool. Dream come true! Small pool (19,000 litres) but just large enough for a few kids to play...
