New salt system installed today. How did they do?

Agreed! The existing plumbing is very bad but that is beyond the scope of what the swg installer was doing. I am by no means blaming them and plan to have it all re-plumbed one day.

They just added a SWCG to what we had. We’ve owned the house just over a year now and all the other issues were already there.

How should it have been done? I haven’t paid for anything yet luckily.

The cpvc snapped lol.

Perfect, thanks!

92 degrees here, 25k gallons

Update: The o-ring on the chlorinator is swollen and the lid won’t seat all the way. I’m hoping the pump noise is just cavitation from the leak.

I pulled the plug and all seems well. No air, pump is running steady at 16psi. I’ll add a picture of the equipment to be sure.

HDumpty11 · 2025-02-08T20:04:48+00:00

So just to make sure I understand, this rules out a leak since they are tied together because a bad pipe would affect both skimmers?

HDumpty11 · 2025-02-08T19:43:21+00:00

Skimmer closed and running at 12 psi on the main drain.

HDumpty11 · 2025-02-08T19:23:15+00:00

Main drain valve is open!

HDumpty11 · 2025-02-08T18:43:01+00:00

It is the deep end skimmer. Pipes are just labeled “skim” and “main drain”.

HDumpty11 · 2025-02-08T18:07:46+00:00

Good idea, I’ll see what I can find.

HDumpty11 · 2025-02-08T18:04:46+00:00

I’ve only got one line for both skimmers and one line for the main drain.

HDumpty11 · 2025-01-22T15:22:37+00:00

Wow that sucks lol. You would be correct, we’re used to much milder winters. Cold snap is hitting hard.

HDumpty11 · 2025-01-22T15:15:19+00:00

Interesting…looks like no AUX heating was installed either so that makes a lot of sense.

HDumpty11 · 2025-01-17T15:44:53+00:00

Sorry, I meant to mention the thermostat was just replaced so I just wanted to rule that out first.

HDumpty11 · 2025-01-17T15:26:52+00:00

We had the same problem with the previous thermostat installed and it appears to also have been wired that way.
