Hey guys. Had heavy rains a couple of weeks again and salt water pool has a green tint to it when usually it is Crystal clear for the most part. Not sure what's going on. Just vacuumed it and I saw some light brown flakes near the bottom I have been running pump and swg for a week straight...

So this is the 3rd season and my tip rails are rusted to the point they are dropping good sized rust into the pool. I bought new rails and hit them with 2 coats or Rust-Oleum. Issue I have is that doughboys have large and small stabilizers that overlap and not just in between the posts. Has...

Hey guys. Not sure if I'm explaining this right. We are 2 years into our doughboy and love it. I have a saltwater system which I have barely need to touch to have my chemistry correct. Problem is and I knew this when they were installing is the metal rails. Does anyone know if I can buy these in...

Hey guys Heater was brand new last season and not used too much. The last couple time it ran I heard a clunking sound which after some research seem to be steam buildup so I shut it down until I could remedy the problem. Online research did not yield too many good articles on how to take apart...

We are in NJ so the weather is still up and down. Supposed to be in the 70's this week. I know that SWG's typicall dont produce under 60. Is it ok to open the pool early if i am using the heater to bring up the temlerature? Also should i run it 1st for 12 hours or so prior to tunring on the...

Hey guys. Just closed the pool. I bought cover clips from amazon but they do not fit the doughboy resin rails at all. Anyone know of a brand that fits? Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hey guys. 1st time I will be closing a pool. We have a doughboy and we have the aquadoor cover which is supposed to stop water from getting into the skimmer lines. The issue I see is that the return line is lower than the skimmer. I assume when I close I will still need to empty the pool to...

Hey guys Now that the heater is hooked up, how do you guys run both the pump and heater off of the aquatrol timer. Or do I nw need to install another timer somehow. What does everyone here do to solve this. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hey guys. Got my gas line hooked up and my pump runs off the aquatrol timer. I know I only want the heater running while the pump is on. Do I need to install a separate timer? my pump just plugs into the aquatrol right now Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hey guys. I have a Super flow mayrix 1hp 2 speed. Go out this morning and it's not on. Only humming noise. Brining it for warranty and ordered another pump to have as backup. Is this normal for a Hayward pump? Will my pool balance be OK fr a day?? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

From outside my pool is super clear but if you go under water and open your eyes it's a little cloudy. Is thus normal for swg? Latest results CL/BR: 5-10 PH: 7.5 FC: 6 CC: 0 TC : 6 CH: 50 TA: 70 CYA: 60 Salt reading 3600 on aquatrol Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Can someone snap a pic on yours installed? I need to install mine and it's so hard to see how it installs in the instructions. It does not seem like it fits exactly in or seals the vac hole Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I will start off by saying that I say deep end lightly as they did the dig yesterday and the "deep end" area is not very large. So my wife and I went back and forth for a couple of years about getting a pool. We looked at in grounds and with the way my yard is set up it would have been pushing...

Hey guys. Life is hectic as usual. Just had our 4th child. We are beach people but we want to have something for my in laws to easily entertain the kids during the week while we are working. At first we started out looking at in ground. The pools came in at the usual 20-25000 range. The...

Hey guys. Hope this is the right place. We have a 12' x 30" intex frame pool. I just picked up a new saltwater chlorinator but the hoses are way too big. I am sure a lot of you have done this. I have the smaller 540 gpm pump so I will order a new pump and adapter but I need guidance in what to...
