    Zodiak SWG can not go above lowest setting

    Just an update on this in case there are others out there. The technician came by and found that the installer wired it wrong and had a 220V line connected into the 110V line. How the previous owner didn't call this in is unbelievable. However, on an even more positive note, Zodiac installed...

    Malfunctioning cell? Normal calcification?

    You are the second person to say that. The manual says its good for 140,000 L, mine pool is 100,000. Do you know if you can add the LM2-40 cell onto a LM2-24 panel?

    Oops, missed the PH. It stays very steady at 7.4 and hasn't moved.

    Malfunctioning cell? Normal calcification?

    The plates are square edged. The TA is a bit high, but not what I would call extremely high. Its within most ranges. FC: 2.0 TA: 120 CH: 350 CYA: 40 Salt: 4200 The chlorinator is a Zodiac LM2-24 that recommends salt 4000+.

    Malfunctioning cell? Normal calcification?

    How much calcium buildup is normal after a month of use. It says here to clean your cell once a year. I cleaned mine about a month ago and i have a little bit of calcium, but not very much. I did notice that the calcium buildup is not on each plate, but only on a few of them. Is this normal...

    Re-vacuum the same algae

    Does it ever feel like you vacuum the same algae over and over again? I just moved into a new house with a pool that was very green. This forum saved me from a ton of frustration. I now have a near crystal clear pool. Once it turned blue it was a ton of bleached dead algae in it. I floced...

    Manual for a Jacuzzi 250 sand filter

    Great, now can anyone tell me what 'Whirlpool' setting does? Surprisingly the manual says nothing about it. Should this only be used if the filter is for a hot tub or does it perhaps aerate the water as it filters (that would be nice for raising PH)

    Manual for a Jacuzzi 250 sand filter

    This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I'm still trying to figure out the flow of water through the filter. I realize that it is different for each setting, but these are the 3 I'm looking at. Filter = Water gets pumped into the top of the filter and pushed out the bottom and...

    Manual for a Jacuzzi 250 sand filter

    I'm looking for the manual of a Jacuzzi Laser 250 sand filter. Secondly, can anyone describe the OEM relationships of pool filters? I just bought a house and I have no manual for my pump or my sand filter. My filter is branded Club Pro Laser 250, but I believe that its just rebranded from a...

    Zodiak SWG can not go above lowest setting

    I cleaned the cell and going to get the power tested. I'll try to get a tech out again, hopefully they show up. Its only 2 years old, so under the 3 year warranty. 4300ppm for salt is above their recommendation of 4000. The chlorinator is in the shade, but just after the heater, however the...

    Zodiak SWG can not go above lowest setting

    First off, this is a great site! I'm completely impressed with this forum. This post is a bit long, but as with pools, please be patient with me. I recently purchased a house that has a salt water pool installed in 2006. The pool was green and needed help. I have since cleaned up the pool...
