thank you !!

the cell is just over 2 years old. I'm not sure which one is the serial number! 4E19 ?

For the past month, my SWG (Aquarite T15 Turbo Cell, 2 years old) has been acting up. Sometimes when I check it, it will read "HOT". Typically if I turn it off and wait a while, it will stop reading hot and give a salt readings when I turn it back on. My average salt reading has been low. I...

Pool is clear again! It was just dissolved dirt and dust I think. We cleaned the cartridge filter - we had done it about 6 weeks ago so I thought it was too early to need to again, but we have had tons of rain so maybe that brought in more dirt than usual? After cleaning and running the...

thanks! did the OCLT last night and no loss (FC 8.0 last night and this AM). So that means it is not algae then?

Hi- this is our second summer with our fiberglass pool. Last summer it seem like we had a lot of dust and they were doing road work nearby but it was mostly managed with a robot vacuum and brushing. This summer I am noticing what seems like more accumulation (see pics) on the bottom and on the...

its a year old

having a new problem with my hayward turbocell. My salt was low (2600) , so I added 2 bags over the 5 days (2nd one 2 days ago). This morning I tested the salt manually (2x) with the Taylor test kit and was at 3000. At one point the afternoon the instant reading on the SWG was at 3300. Now...

first winter with a pool! Filter is running on freeze protect, but there is a layer of slushy ice over about 1/3 of the pool. We have a generator so should be ok in the event of a power outage. Water temp is 30 (!) on the omni app on my phone. If not worried about a power outage, should we...

I need to check the model number but the good news is that the SWG is now working!! I guess maybe it took a while for it to "see" the higher salt level? chlorine back up to 6 today !

I'm not sure what type of pump - the label on (what I'm pretty sure is the pump!) it says Hayward 1.5hp 230 volt 4.2 amps 50/60 cycle. does that help? how do I tell the flow rate?

That made me remember that I have the Taylor salt test kit! My salt is at 3000 so I think that means the salt not the problem :(

today I went to test our pool routinely and my chlorine level was zero! We had been out of town week before last, but when I had checked 5 days ago it was at 6. I checked and our SWG (Aquarite Turbocell) was not generating and said "check cell" and "check salt". Salt level in pool (checked...

Thank you! I need to go get some liquid chlorine, so I’ll check my CYA in the morning and then buy.

our filter/pump is not working. seems to be a problem with the Omni controller. Pool person will not be out until monday to look at it. I am testing chlorine - if I need to add, should I just be adding liquid chlorine in the meantime?

I appreciate all the help I’ve gotten from this site so much! I feel like if I had been following the pole star recommendations I would’ve been adding gallons of chemicals! I feel like I’m on the right track but want to make sure that I am adjusting things correctly. Today’s results are- FC 6...

welcome -I'm new here also and that is the exact pool we have! (and my kids are the same ages as yours) Just got it put in 2 months ago, very happy with it so far!

New pool, initially had CYA of 0 and FC 1-2, with running SWG almost all the time at 100%. I added CYA-stablizer (about 2/3 the recommended amt per pool math) and 2 days later my CYA level was 20, but my FC with up to 20 also! Still very high after cutting back the time and % on the SWG and...

great, thanks! PH is 8.0 so was going to add acid per pool math recs

follow up readings... i added 1 bag (40 pounds) of salt, but it rained a lot after that, as well as 2 gallons of liquid stabilizer. new readings today: FC=9.0 (!) CC= 0 TA=90 CYA = 25 CH 175 salt - only 2800 still. so I'm thinking I need to 1) turn back % on the swcg 2) add more salt 3)...

yes, T15 - I have added that. thank you !!

thanks, will calculate for that CYA. The salt was all added by the people who installed the pool. I haven't added any myself yet. Should I be maintaining the chlorine all with the SWG or adding separate chlorine? Current running it at 90% 22 hours a day (1 hour high, rest at 35%)

hi, pool newbie here and getting used to my TF-100 test kit. Had 5 inches of rain last night so ran tests today. New pool we have had for 2 months and I've added very little. salt 2700 Cl 3.0 pH 7.9 TA 70 CYA 0 CH 175 So I need salt, stabilizer, lower the PH and probably increase the...

thank you !!!! I think I am lacking the confidence to believe my own readings :) I rechecked now and even with making sure I am holding the bottle Vertically, wiping tip, etc. I am still getting: TA -140 Cl - 0.5 pH - 7.8 CH - 175 CYA- 0

new to having a pool and trying to get this figured out.... Pool store has my TA at 70 (twice) and I have repeated the TF-100 testing 3x myself and is is much higher - 160-180. I think I'm doing it right, watched the video, etc (though I don't have a speed stir, I think I'm mixing it ok). Is...

thank you all! It does say I need to use their levels to maintain the warrenty, so sort of stuck there.

hi - we installed a pool 1 month ago and I'm so confused! Its a 21K gallon fiberglass pool with a SWG. i'm really confused on what targets to use for chemicals. The pool handbook from the pool manufacturer (Leisure pools), says our targets are : pH – 7.2-7.4- not higher due to calcium...
