Thanks Sean If I need to replace the fan is it a 12 volt, 120 volt or other voltage fan. Im curious as the fans seem to be temp activated. Yesterday the unit felt cool and the fans weren't running. The other day the unit felt very warm and the one fan was running. That's why I made the thread.

I just looked at my control box on my autopilot. There are 2 fans. Im in Fl so its hot. 1 fan is running, the other is not. They share a common hot lead but it looks like the ground wires go to 2 different outlets on the board plug. Are the fans controlled at a different time when more cooling...

We have recently purchased the total control system.I wanted to share my views.The system works well on automating ph,however it doesnt work for ORP.I am having the same problem as Jasonlion,the ORP goes down when the generator is on and goes up when it is off.This makes it it useless for...

We live in Fl.Our pool is in a screened cage.I know the screen cuts back the sunlight.Our pool is in sunlight for about 5hrs a day.Would we go on the low side of the recomended CYA level or the high side or does it matter.We will be going salt as soon as our pool has gone its 30 day cure.We are...

I just had our IG pool refinished.The company warranties stains as long as you keep a 10-12 ppm seqestering agent in the water.They suggested to use jacks magic blue stuff.My question is I understand that these sequestering agents add phosphates to the water.My phosphates are pretty high from...

This may be a question for Sean,but if anyone else knows please tell.Why do you need (Pool Pilot Website)30-50 CYA level with the Digital Total Control System.There regular digital system requires the normal 60-80 CYA level.Thanks

We are installing a new light in our IG pool(its now empty while it is getting redone).We ran the wire through the 1" pvc conduit.Do you normally seal the open end or do you leave it open and let pool water flow into the conduit.If you do seal it,what do you use.Thanks

I have a 10000 gallon IG pool.We have a new stayrite 3/4 hp max-e-pro.We are looking to purchase a Stayrite system 2 modular DE filter.The series is the PLDE.The PLDE36 is 36 sq ft filter area.We feel this would be more than enough for our pool,however the PLDE48 is 48 sq ft and costs only...

Jasonlion,The numbers you quoted 54 or 72 sq feet is not correct.According to there brochure those numbers are the optimal gpm.The filter is 36 sq ft for the PLDE36 and 48 sq ft for the PLDE48.The PLD50 is 30 sq feet and the PLD70 is 36 sq feet.The same as the PLDE36 so im still trying to figure...

Does anyone know the difference between model PLD and PLDE.The literature doesnt tell what is the difference between the 2.Both models are on the same flyer.

The Pentair,Hayward(Goldline),Jandy seem to be the same,just different packages.The Pentair has the controls in the cell instead of the power pack.What are your thoughts on these models.Thanks
