So I had another company come out and same thing…pump has failed. I truly don’t understand how only after 4 years. At all. So I’m hesitant to go with Hayward again. When you say automation what do you mean?

You know I’m not sure I had my pool guy do that. Should I ask him?

Hi friends. I have a Hayward tristar 950 VS pump installed in 2021. Apologies the title says 5 years but it 4. It’s been great, however in January start to make a grinding noise. Friend of mine owns a pool maintenance company he comes out and says I need either a new pump or a rebuild. I pay...

My apologies its a Hayward Goldline aquarite 900

I took pics of all equipment. Will update signature but for now will provide info before. Specific softener: AO-WH-SOFT-350, 35,000 grain. Pool Only. House has separate water softener. Pool equipment: Hayward tristart VS 950 pump. Hayward Goldline Aquarite 900 SWG. TF100 test kit, Taylor...

My apologies, I wasn't sure to round up or down. I'll have to do another calcium test but I'm honestly not sure how it could be high since I went through the trouble of installing a water softener on my fill line. It almost makes me wonder why I did it at all! And how does everyone else in...

See below for results. With the calcium hardness, it never turns the color its supposed to. I've tried all the hints from here and Taylor as well. I'll try again, but I think my other chemistry is so messed up I'll have to drain anyway. Again lol...one day I'll get the hang of this! pH 6.8...

I did end up installing the water softener! But still have a super super hard time getting an accurate CH reading using the TF test...

thanks!

thats what I was contemplating, running it all night with water features open. thanks for the input!

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the correct location to ask this. I never drain my pool living here in Vegas but I received an alert about temps in the low 30s. Is there anything I should be doing today to prepare for this? Have only had pool for 3 years and usually just keep the water in and...

Hey friends. I've been struggling with my water since I've opened my pool back in 2020. Have already done one full drain that I'm now thinking wasn't necessary. Well, when I did that drain last year my husband added way too many bags of salt. My salt level is currently around 4700. My SWG was...

@TeenaTeens I see you solved your issue! I am currently battling this problem. Lots of white Flakes, my pool water is VERY warm right now. What is CSI? I’m working on lowering my TA but my fill water ph ALWAYS runs higher ph. Moved from here.

Really?! I think it was on T-15 when they installed it but the PB selected the 940. I'll do that and see what happens. I think my salt MIGHT be on the higher side but I didn't really believe the 5,500. whats the reasoning for changing it to t a T-15? for my own knowledge Updated. changed it to...

Here’s the salinity tests I did today trying to troubleshoot my issues

In the middle of the summer though? I know that’s dicey with pebble and being 100 degrees here. I feel crazy having to drain again the second time in 3 years. I’m not adding anything to the pool to increase the CH I’m just already dealing with higher CH water due to being in Vegas. I drained...

Currently having issues measuring salinity. Posted on the SWG thread about that today. Can’t tell if it’s 4000 or 5000. I know it’s too high due to husband adding too much salt when we emptied and filled last year. And I’ve never ever been able to get a good CH reading. Always turns purple no...

Hey friends. One day my pool will truly be troublefree but for now (and the past 3 years) it has not been lol I say that because I already drained the pool last year and hoping not to do it again. Not even sure if I can do a partial drain with how hot it is here in Vegas now. My current issue...

Whoops, had my info wrong!

Good idea to add it to my sig, will do. And I don’t have one of those but maybe I’ll I’ll order that with my new powder. Is it worth the $$?
