The "Compool PC Board Repair" link is no longer working. Does anyone have any other pool PC board repair service links? Thanks in advance.

After backwashing about two weeks ago, I filled up my Pentair FNS Plus 36 DE filter about the same amount as you using the DE scoops, and I had the same issue as you for a few days. It turned out that each scoop of DE is about one pound of DE, using 7 scoops means 7 pounds of DE. Redoing the...

V-Green 165 variable speed motor to Hayward AquaPlus controller.

Please let me know the type (pair/unpair, twisted/untwisted, shield/unshield, high/low voltage) and size (16, 18, 20, 22 or 24 AWG) of cable wiring that I need to purchase to connect RS-485 and digital inputs from variable speed pump to automation controller. Thanks for your help.

Please be very careful on the type of lawn. I have tried to water my St. Augustine lawn with extra pool water, and the lawn started to turn slightly brown in about a week. Lucky for me, it rained continuously for the next few days after that and my lawn was able to recover. It turned out the...

Thanks for your information, JamesW. Q. You doing a DIY install or having a pool company install it? I am a DIY person, but I am gathering costs from different pool companies for comparisons. Q. Do you have any trouble balancing the flow between the lower and upper panels? Yes, my current...

My Hayward "Goldline" AquaPlus controller has the following software: 1) Main Software revision 4.20; and 2) Display Software revision 3.12. The pool system has been in operation since October 2011. May I have your suggestions on the Hayward variable speed pump for my pool system. Thanks for...

Thanks for the information. I currently have Hayward AquaPlus controller, and based on my TFP posts reviewing, it seems that Pentair SuperFlo VS (or VST) pump will be much easier to perform an interface connection than the Pentair IntelliFlo pump.

Please let me know what are the differences between Pentair SuperFlo VS (342001) and Pentair SuperFlo VST (342002) pumps. Thanks for your answers.

Good Afternoon Eric, Would you please let us know if you finally wired the Hayward AquaPlus to control the Pentair Supeflo VS for 2-speed or 3-speed? And at what RPM speeds? Thanks for the information. Hien

Good Afternoon Mr. Mas985, Relocating the solar VRV is the next task of this project. I will follow your advice from the previous post for the new solar VRV location. I am planning to cap the current 2" FAFCO solar VRV on the second story roof with duct tape and to install a new solar VRV on...

Mr. JamesW, thank you very much for your help. I configured the Filter to 2-Speed; however, I forgot to configure the AUX 2 to Filter Low Speed and the SOLAR to Low Speed Allow. The new motor can now be operated in 2-speed via the Hayward Aqua Plus controller. Everything in your post is...

I finally have the time to install the new Pentair 2-speed motor this afternoon; however, the new motor only ran in High Speed. When I switched to Low Speed through the Hayward Aqua Plus, the motor made no sound and not running at all. Below is picture of how I did the wiring connections from...

The new Pentair WhisperFlo 2-speed pump motor has arrived this afternoon, and to my surprise, the new 2-speed motor comes with a speed toggle switch already installed. I am planning to use the Hayward Aqua Plus automation to control the new 2-speed pump. I have a feeling that I need to remove...
