    Need temporary fix/ SWG stopped production

    My 15YO Zodiac LM3 is not working correctly. Of course, I am about to leave town for a couple weeks. If I can't find a fix before I leave, what is the best way to keep the pool chlorinated until I return? The control panel comes on but only the first of 5 lights that show the amount of...

    Polaris 280 rebuild or New 360

    My Polaris 280 needs to be refreshed. The rebuild kit cost about $120 less than a new 360. The 360 says it doesnt need a booster pump. Would I be okay with getting a new 360? Will the 360 run better if the booster pump is running? Thanks

    Why such a wide price range for LM3-24 replacement cell

    So, after having an almost trouble free pool for over 10 Yrs (thanks to this site!) I believe my Clearwater LM3-24 cell needs to be changed. I only get one green light as well as the "add salt" light even though the salt is at 4400PPM at 80F. CYA is at 50, PH at 7.6, but I struggle to keep FC...
