Hello folks, I'm having a steady RED NO FLOW on my Hayward Aquarite SWG. I replaced the flow switch. The board appears to be good. I think the RJ11 telephone jack is the problem. Anyone know if I can replace just the RJ11 jack ?? If yes, where could I order one ?? Thanks !

I'm not sure if I have a leak or the water is evaporating naturally. I'm low about 2 inches a week now. Maybe slightly longer. Thoughts ?? Thank you.

I know this has been asked before, for some reason I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Is there any accuracy to the salt level display on an Aquarite SWG ?? Currently my display shows 3400 ppm of salt. Just curious. My test kit is telling me I'm at 4000 ppm. :confused:

Is the survey regarding pool cleaners that appears on the top of the page legit ?? I signed up and answered some brief survey questions. I was asked for my e-mail address at the end. Seems strange that now I'm getting a few spam e-mails. Hmmmm. :mad:

How long would the average cartridge filter last ?? I just noticed my heater "LO" light goes on now at 2000 rpms. I tested the flow when new and I could go as low as 1700 rpms with my VS pump. Just for safety sake I increased the rpms to 2000. The pool only has been opened for two weeks now...

I just thought I would share this experience from Leslies Pool store, which is local to me. I have a TF 100 test kit and use it accordingly. Having said that I occasionally double check with the test strips just to see what results they offer. So ......, I went into the store asking for the...

I just drained my pool a little in an attempt to lower my CYA. Does Calcium Hypochlorite raise CYA ??? I have 2 packs left of the Robarb Pool Specialties "Power Blast". Ingredients state Calcium Hypochlorite 68%, other ingredients 32%.

I know that Solar salt is what is recommended here on TFP. I just looked into Aquasalt only because of what I read in a previous thread. Wow, 49.95 from WalMart, and 37.50 on Amazon, 1 bag, Yikes! Yeah free shipping, but so what ! Solar Salt here I come !!! Just an FYI folks, LOL

Should I lower my CYA down to lets say 70 from 100 where it currently is ?? Could I just set the SWG at a higher % because of the CYA level of 100 ??

I recently installed a Hayward SWG and in the manual it states if the pool does NOT have new water, that I should add 1 quart of metal remover and 1 quart of a non copper based algaecide to ensure a quick troublefree transfer to the Aquarite system. What products do you recommend for this ...

Will the PH be effected that much when using a SWG ?? Does it ever stabilize or will it continually rise ???

Hello guys, I recently converted to SWG. Is it necessary to install a Sacrificial Anode ??? I mean do they work ??? I believe they are installed in the skimmer basket.

I have the TF 100 test kit now and recently changed over to a SWCG. Can I still use this kit to test the water levels ?? Thx

I just installed a SWCG in my IG pool. Cover is still on and the SWCG has not been turned on yet. Do I have to add solar salt to the water initially after I open the pool up ??? Or should I run the SWCG first when I open the pool up and see what the numbers are first ??

I have a planter approximately 2 feet wide by 12 feet long that is also a waterfall feature for the pool. The planter has 3 Scheer descents. When the water drains from the planter, either rain water or snow etc, it leaves a stain (mud stain/white stain) on the stamped concrete deck. Anyone...

I was wondering if the experts on here would recommend adding a small pump to my waterfall feature ?? The reason I ask is because my 3 sheer descents seem to need a little more water flow when the filter gets a little dirty, meaning the water slows down somewhat effecting the flow from the...

Ok here is a question for SWCG pool owners. Anyone have any regrets switching from chlorine to a SWCG ??? Is it really that much easier to maintain water balance ?

Getting ready to install a SWCG. Should I be concerned with the SWCG damaging my stamped concrete decking?? Is the issue mostly with natural stone?? Thanks.

Anyone know what the difference is between the Hayward Aquarite and Aquarite Pro?? I'm considering these two SWG's for my 18,000 IG pool. Thx

I have an 18,000 gallon IG pool and was thinking of converting to a SWCG. What is the best SWCG these days?? Thx

Hello everyone. I have noticed some slight algae again in my pool. Chlorine levels in the 5 range. I also noticed that one of the skimmer doors gets caught up and does not flap freely, could this cause an algae problem due to the circulation of water being reduced ??? The first algae bloom I...

Anyone ever try this stuff??? My neighbor is using it instead of chlorine ??

My CYA is 100. Did I read correctly that my FC should be 7 ??? I though the FC should be 1.5 or so ??? Thank you.

I have a 2' wide by 2' high by 12' long waterfall planter box constructed out of cinder block and stone veneer. Anyone have any ideas on what goes inside the planter box besides the pvc pipes ?? The sheer descents are installed as well. I was just curious if you are supposed to fill this...

Well I just opened up the box and used the Sharkvac XL that was part of my pool package. Wow, this thing works great !!! Very impressed with the cleaning ability. Highly recommend to anyone considering a pool cleaner. Just thought I would share my experience.

My water test strip only tests for Chlorine, PH, and Alk. I took a sample of my water to the pool store and my total hardiness was way low along with my chlorine ? (What a rip off this was by the way) The computer printout stated to add 11 pounds of this and 10 pounds of that etc.... I just...

I have a 3 week old IG pool that I filled up to the skimmers. I just noticed the water level is slightly lower than when I started. Is this normal dissipation ??? I don't think I have a leak at this point.

As a new pool owner, I'm trying to determine what would be the best speeds I could run my Max-Flo VS 2300 1.5 hp pump to turn over the water (18,000 gal) in a 24 hour period. As of now I have the pump set at first start-up to 3,000 rpms, for 4 hours, then it switches to 1,500 rpm's for 8 hours...

I'm tossing around the difference in cost between regular cement and stamped concrete for my decking around the pool which will be around 1200 sq ft. 8.00 for regular cement and 10.50 for the stamped. It's around a 3,000 difference. Does the stamped concrete look that much better than regular...

How do you control the speed you want the pump to run when the timer switches to "ON" as per your clock setting ??? The pump starts on at 3,000 rpm and will continue this RPM until the timer switches to off. I would like to lower the RPM's after several hours of pump run time. I mean I can do...
