Currently we have a piece of junk hayward automation system, a now totally dead salt cell, and a hayward pump that's loud as a freight train. We just had 3 of 4 pool lights replaced and still need to do the 4th. So I've come to terms with the massive investment I'm putting into this and I'm...

TC and FC appear to be equal and >5ppm. PH is down to 7.5 now that I’ve added another gallon of acid this morning and let it circulate a couple hours. Problem is, within a couple days the PH trend is it goes back up >8.2.

A couple more details... Pump/salt cell running 10 hours a day. Chlorinator is set to 70%. We did recently have to do the solder joint repair on the Hayward motherboard because the cell wasn’t getting power. The motherboard box is kind of hot to touch. It’s right in the Texas sun, but it would...

Fired my pool guy a while back and got a new guy. Long story short, our pool equipment is all being used at our rental and I’m not buying all new stuff, so relying on pool service until the lease is up and I can retrieve my stuff and go back to caring for the pool 100% myself. I have however...

This is my 3rd pool, but first salt system. It's also my first automated system, so not being able to just go turn valves manually until I achieve what I want is limiting. And I'm a bit afraid to just punch buttons. We have a screen lanai and an automatic salt and chlorine dispenser. From the...

Re: Newbie with a green pool & very low FC I bought the test kit at Leslie's. I wrote down the specs from the recommendation on this site and got what I think is similar. I may still need to get a better one online, but it was all I could get my hands on yesterday. I have added another 15...

This morning tye pool was blue and chrystal clear (yay) but the FC tested ZERO! Dang it! TC was 1. I had poured all 18 gallons on bleach last night, so I went for more. I have gotten another 9 gallons in so far, probably should just keep pouring. On another note, I'm trying to figure out my...

Help! We closed on our house 2 weeks ago and we have next to no experience with pools. I'm limping along with some general chemistry knowledge I learned in college and the internet! When we previewed the house the pool was blue, sparkling and beautiful! It's about 2 years old and the pool...
