Thanks all for the feedback. Appreciated.

Hi there Yes, the nut and tail fit to the existing fitting on the sand filter. I was wondering how the other part would fit? It’s not needed but more a question of how would that work? Cheers

The last image is of the barrel union set so the fitting to the right is the part that the nut and tail attach to. My question is how does that then attach to the sand filter if there’s a threaded part as in the first image? Cheers

Hi there I have a Questa Jetstream Hi Fliw Sand filter with a Davey style MPV. Tthis question is for my educational purposes but I’m sure someone here will be able to answer it. The connections in my filter from the pump into the filter and from the filter through the salt chlorinator to return...

Hi there Yes I agree the writing is on the wall but I’m no engineer but my impeller is not made of plastic it’s like a fibreglass kind of composition. Silver sparkly flecks come off it when you handle it. I have one more avenue to follow up then I’m done! Cheers.

Ok replaced this weekend! Cheers.

Hi Yes I knew about the union. I think I’ve overtightened it but it’s not leaking and not sucking air. I’ll replace it down the track. Thanks. I sent Direct Pool Supplies in NSW images and dimensions of the impeller. I’m not sure how much trouble they went to but they came back with a no. I did...

Hi there Please find a photo of the pump I took some time ago and one of it disassembled. Fingers crossed an impeller can be found. Cheers

Hi there I know this is a long shot but there are many folks here in Australia that use these forums so i thought posting a request here may be fruitful. I have the above pump driven by a 1hp CMG motor. The pump hasn't been available for a few years but has worked perfectly for years. A couple...

Anyone on Saltmate? Thanks.

Hi there Definitely not sold on the drain option tbh. Has anyone reading these posts had any experience with Saltmate for example? Cheers.

Also to answer the comment about purchasing an SWG that is more in keeping with the current salt level I’ve been working with since inheriting the pool some 14 years ago. The issue I have is the SWG is no longer manufactured and getting either a replacement cell or getting it refurbished is a...

Thank you vm. I was really keen to understand the formula to end up with the 30%. Now I understand.

I understand that. What I was asking was how did you arrive at the figure of 30% of the pool volume removed? Mathematically I guess. I figured out how you arrived at 0.7 but I’m not understanding the calculation of 30%. I don’t doubt it I just want to understand the working Cheers.

Our town water comes from a holding basin and is treated prior to the domestic supply. You may be right about the salinity but I’ve always assumed it’s next to zero. Right or wrong. Can you explain the 0.7 (how did you come up with that figure) x 4780 and how that equates to nearly a third of...

Thanks. The fresh water replacing the pool water has zero salinity so by removing 30% and refilling what will the the new salt level be? Cheers

Hi there I’m considering purchasing a new SWG. My old one happily operated at 5000ppm but it’s nearly 15 years old. The replacement SWG manual specifies a salt level of between 3000-3500ppm and no higher than 4000ppm. Using an Aqua Chek salt test strip it returned a 7.2 result (4780ppm). So if...

Hi there Salt level is fine sitting at 5000ppm and plates are calcium free.. I had the pool water tested just prior to Christmas and the result confirmed my suspicion the cell was just about done. Cheers.

Hi there I really need some advice on this situation. I’m in Victoria, Australia and inherited my pool when I purchased this home. The chlorinator is a Questachlor Xtra (reverse polarity) producing 30 grams an hour at optimal operation. The chlorinator would be approx 15 years old. I’ve replaced...
