I unfortunately have another question "Sigh" So currently I have my pump and swg wired to an external timer. The yellow dial one, if I install the Pentair can I still use the dial or do I need to figure out how everything can now tie into the Pentair internal timer? I would rather just use...

Thanks @mknauss and @jimmythegreek ! My Pentair is due in today so I am excited about getting it installed. Is the filter system I have ok? Hayward S244T Sand Filter? I did put in zeosand when I redid the Filter last year. Should I look at replacing my current filter with something...

@mknauss Ok last question and I'm sold. I currently only have 1.5 inch pipe. Is there an RPM I need to make sure I don't exceed when buying that 3hp Pentair?

So that looks like a 3hp pump. I currently have a 1.5. Is that ok?

Thanks @mknauss Will check that when I get home to make sure. Do you have any recommendations with my current setup and pool size on which Pentair I should purchase?

@mknauss How do I know that the SWGC is off when the pool pump is off. I think the lights are still on, on the control panel when the pump turns off now. Should the Hayward control panel be off also when the pool pump is off or is there another power feature for the Cell I have to make sure...

Thanks for all the help guys. I am going to stick with the Hayward TCELL940 on a Hayward AquaRite 900 series for my pool. The company said if it becomes an issue with having to run it 24/7 then they will replace it without an issue. Right now they are telling me high season should only be 12...

So what system out there would you have installed for my pool. Also with my current setup, what type of pump would you guys install and what size?

Talked to pool guy today. He said my pool is 35 -38 gallons. I have the Turbo Cell TCELL 940 Extended Life Cell with a AquaRite 900 Salt Chorine Generator. Did I get screwed?

Wow you guys are seriously making me concerned. I had a pool company who was has been in business for over 40years do all the work for me. It was a 30 year pool that they pulled out the liner and redid the walls, bottom and did all the new concrete. I had lights added to the pool and they...

Thanks MKnauss for the quick reply. I put in a Hayward SWCG and not sure of the model but will find that out when I get home from work. It has a box that you set your desired Salt percentage at and then have to switch it manually to other settings or high chlorine etc. So it has a control...

Hello forum, I was hoping you could help me make a decision on a new pool pump for the swimming pool. We just had the pool converted to a Salt system and noticed the pool pump making some noise this year. It is definitely old so wanted to look at options. The pool guy recommended I look at...

Oh that would be great. Not sure how to tell which one I have its blue on top and white on the bottom. 3 wheels. I actually have a spare one in the pool room that works too. Both look like same model. No writing at all on them so again not sure of model

Hey guys my pool is looking much better now after getting my test kit and SLAM routine. The pool when we bought the house did not have a vacuum that came with it. Pool place was showing me a vacuum that hooked up to the skimmer line. They also said to buy the leaf catcher attachment to go...

Got it. Thanks guys I will do that tonight. Appreciate it

Do I need to SLAM it again? It was Dark green with frogs in it before. Now its blue and cloudy. I will check PH. I have not tried that piece of the test kit yet. The debris at the bottom I have not been able to see until recently. It started to clear up until I started running the Polaris...

Ok guys I finally was able to do a good test. So Pool is blue but very cloudy. I hope I did everything right, I feel like a chemist now haha. So I have FC = 8 CC = 1 TC = 9 CH = 225 TA = 30 CYA = 40 I am hoping thats all I had to do. So I am ready for my next steps. So appreciate...

Since I can't see the bottom yet I am worried about Vacuuming the bottom. I can't see the bottom of the 3ft part yet either. I will stop for now adding anything else but the bleach recommended to me until the test kit comes in. Should I wait another day or so to use filter mode? ?

Thanks guys. So Since I already used the Floc and Revive they told me not to run the filter because it would mess up the sand. What do I do now? Do I use recirculate mode? How long until I can filter the water again?

Hello everyone, very happy to find this place. I just wish I would have found it a few days earlier. So I have tried to read some stuff and will continue to educate myself but wanted to get some advice quickly before I make any more mistakes. I just bought this house last year and the pool...
