My Hayward 150FDN lasted about 4 years but is apparently toast - bad leak and board. Would NEVER buy a hayward heater again. A pool company is offering me a 2 year old refurb Raypak 206a. They say they are putting in a new top(?) meaning heat exchanger at least, and giving me a 18 months...

Ok, sorry for not getting back. Was busy working on the pool and swimming, since what I did at least side-stepped the problem for now. The water is crystal clear now. Lovin it, lol. The chlorine at the time it was dead on the bottom was 5ppm. However, prior to that it was higher. I don't know...

Here's what I've done so far: had to move quickly unfortunately 1) Rerouted the return line to the "waste" - so return goes to the street 2) Ran on filter for a few minutes. Nothing alege-like came out. Water was crystal clear. 3) Left return bypass on (seperate pipe) and reconnected waste...

The problem is I don't think it is enough. I can always get some more of the same brand if it doesn't precipitate out. I've fixed the problem before with the floc. The problem is that the cheap $200 salt chlorinator went offline because of a momentary power outage. I forgot that it power blips...

Is it ok to mix two different floc products? One is blue and thin (alum based) and the other is brown and thick like 40% algeacide (canadian tire eco pool clarifier) but no indication is given as to its chemical makeup. I have put one in, but it is not enough really given my problem at the...
