Moved from here. Hi, I'm planning on doing the same: glue back disintegrating bands on the filter cartridge. I have two questions: Can I use simple hot glue if my pool also has a spa? The water gets pretty hot, up to ~104 F in the spa. Will hot glue hold up at those temperatures? My worst...

I just had a similar microswitch problem. If the CVA-24T is the same as my CVA-24, then here is what I know. In my case, the valve would not turn at all, and that was because of the microswitch. And this seems reasonable to me: there are two microswitches, each stops the rotation in one...

I know about the basic technique of interlocking the booster pump so that it can be energized only if the main pump is also energized. I have that: this is built into my EasyTouch controller. But recently a microswitch failed in my CVA-24 valve actuator, and that could have caused the booster...

A microswitch in my CVA-24 valve actuator developed an intermittent contact issue. So the valve stopped turning, and I had to replace the microswitch. But this happens too often: another microswitch failed on me 2 years ago. At that time, I've replaced both microswitches in both of my CVA-24...

Yessss! That solved my issue. Thank you so much!

Awesome, I'm so grateful for you, cubicalmonkey! I installed the capacitor a few weeks ago, and had no problems since, over half a dozen uses of the hot tub. After something like 2 years, my problem seems finally fixed! patterrr, I started a support case with Pentair, asked for a copy of the...

patterrr: Sorry, I have not been around on this forum for a while, so I did not see your post. The answer is no, I did not find a solution (but did not look much further that my post above). I hope a firmware upgrade might help, so I called a few pool service companies, asked them if they...

You rock, both of you. Very precise answers. Thank you very much. So to make sure I understand, if I pour 1 gal of "Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid" (10% NaOCl) into a 30,000 gal pool, then I raised free available chlorine by 3.715 ppm. That is because the density of the chlorinating...

I'm a little confused as to what does exactly "1 ppm free chlorine" mean? I know that "ppm" stands for parts per million, and I also learned that it's always a mass ratio, not volume or moles or anything else. So, 1 ppm = 1 lbs in 1,000,000 lbs. But 1 lbs of what exactly? Of NaOCl or of...

Thank you! Yes, I'm positive the valves were set correctly. The panel did not, by any means, use any hysteresis. I'll do a more thorough test next time, actually measuring things and making notes. I'll also try a firmware upgrade. Does anyone know what are the fixes between my firmware and...

Anyone has any input on my question above? Am I asking in the correct subforum? Thanks in advance. (Since Texas Splash mentioned some server problems, I decided to take the liberty and bump this thread.) Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
