Checked the Hayward OmniLogic screen and my average salt reading is 65,486ppm and instant 65,475ppm (obviously both in accurate). My question is has anyone had this happen? If so did it indicate a bad cell or...

Good circulation in the day, and enough flow overnight to keep the pump...

    Hi, We are having our fiberglass pool resurfaced currently, and it makes sense to replace our pool light whilst we are at is, as it's clearly pretty old. The light is a SP540 300w and I know those aren't sold anymore as any new light has to be LED. I called Hayward support and they weren't...
