    No power to Hayward Aquarite after cleaning salt cell

    It sounds like a fuse to me. In my salt generator, the fuse is behind the front panel. Throw the breaker and remove the panel and check the fuse.

    I seem to be unable to get temperatures to "stick"

    I am CSI centric person. On the pool name page, I can tap CSI and a screen comes up where I can enter Temp and then CSI is shown. But I cannot seem to save it so it shows up on the title page. On the title page the CSI and Temp boxes are blank.

    When I use 20 mule borax and acid, what else is produced.

    I may yet buy a pail for next year now that it's on Amazon free delivery. It should keep. BTW, 60 lbs for a skinny Amazon delivery person is a bit much. I'm doing my pool now, and I only had to go to from 30 ppm. And we use 20 MT washing clothes as a detergent booster. (Alkalinity helps). But I...

    I'm curious. When you mix the borax and add the acid to neutralize, there must be a by-product of the reaction. What is it?

    I Got Lucky

    I'm in Sacramento county, California. I could not get a freight quote from Duda. I E mailed, I filled out a form, and I called but got no answer. I found it locally at Sierra Chemical but the price was $3 something a pound. I may buy from Amazon for next year's supply. Not sure yet. I fly into...

    Pool rail advice - I got a quote for ~ $1350 installed.

    When I held him up, he retracted his bid, so the figures and part numbers were apparently auto deleted. The railing was stainless steel, with gray plastic Teflon covering. The total was for parts and labor. The company was a pool plaster and remodeling company. That is all I have. But I just...

    IMO, always wait a day after adding chemicals to get an accurate test.

    Pool rail advice - I got a quote for ~ $1350 installed.

    Thanks to jimrade, I clipped a photo of his of approximately what I plan to get. (Ignore the vertical black lines). I'm still investigating the idea. I got a bid from a pool plasterer, rehab guy. The railing is drilled and into the cement, (not screw anchors) is stainless steel with white...

    How do I get the right Borate?

    I finally got through to Sierra Chemical in West Sacramento. Granulated Boric Acid 50 lbs bags @ $3.26 a pound. Duda Diesel is ~ $1.70 a pound, plus shipping. I asked for a shipping quote but didn't get it. In the good news, possibly due the way I manage my pool water in the winter, I'm still...
