    Which side of return for salt water generator

    As I type this message, I just now realize that my particular SWG is not like most, so there may be very few that have a similar setup. It is a cheaper version- Solaxx Saltron that hangs over the pool wall of our 21k gallon above ground. 4 years now, it has had to have the salt cell replaced...

    Hayward 400btu Heater starts and runs but not heating

    Hello, Opened pool up for the season yesterday and turned heater on today. It appears to light the blower is on and the flow is fine. It does not sound anywhere near as loud as it used to and the water returning back to the pool is at most 2゚ warmer. Any thoughts?
