Hello,
I recently bought a home in disrepair and the pool systems need a lot of attention. This forum has been amazing while I’m working through everything to see if the system can be salvaged. Huge thanks to everyone at TFP. So my main concern right now is I pulled the SWG to inspect and clean the cell. But when I unscrewed the cell I found this metal spring and bar. I was quite surprised and I have no idea where they came from. Does anyone have any ideas what they are or where they came from or why someone might put them in there?
Thanks in advance for any info.

-Chad

Internal bypass valve Hayward H250

Hello Everyone, Just discovered this site after converting to a SWG. Had the pool installed 14 years ago and had a real good run as far as everything holding up. Only issues were a Pump motor, 3 sets of pump seals and a heater digital control membrane (all of which I was able to DIY). Got 14...

Hayward Heater Leaking

I tried firing up my heater a week ago and my Hayward 400k BTU threw a "PF" code. It has done that once a few months ago and I left the heater alone for a few weeks and turned it on again with no issues. This time however it is not going away. There is a continuous small leak dripping from the...

Thanks Dirk, I updated as best I could. I’m sure there will be upcoming changes as I work through everything but I appreciate the help.

If this was April 1 I would think it's a joke.

I thought the same thing! Although I had heard people putting copper tubes in the skimmer to kill off algae so I wasn’t sure if it was there for a reason. But it definitely broke the flow switch which I’ve gotten replaced.

Note: Leave the heater off until it can be fixed.

James! Thank you very much, you really hit the nail on the head. The heater does not work. In fact the screen doesn’t even come on. It’s on the list of things to repair but for now I’m working on getting the salt levels up and the SWG chlorinating and I’ll go from there. Thanks again for your help.
