OK I got it all sorted out. My acid pump runs off its own GFCI circuit. The circuit had tripped, resetting it fixed it all up for me. However, it has been so long since I hooked this all up I had forgotten about this and I thought the pump was fed by the Autopilot supply. All it took was...

after cleaning I get 28V at 4.0A, I hit the maintenance test and it report ~53,000 amp hours. Not sure exactly what that is. Reading this post: Pool Pilot error message: makes me think it is time for a new cell. Not sure that will fix the pump not working, but should fix the check cell...

I cleaned the cell and while it is producing chlorine I still get the check cell light. I'll tear it open today and check the caps, and relay wiring. Hopefully I can find something wrong. I just don't see them disabling the pumps just because the check cell light is on. david

All, I run my acid pump off the pool pilot. Recently I've noticed that it isn't running daily like it should. I tested the pump and it is fine. The issue seems to be that the pool pilot is no longer switching it on. When I manually enable it I can hear the relay switch, but I get nothing...

It is a DIG-220. The message says "Purifier Off check" There is no Flow on the end of the message, maybe there should be. I took the tri-sensor out and now after putting it back in it is working again. Maybe it was a flow issue and taking it out/in got it working again. thanks!

Looks like I'll have to call them Monday, I can't see anything obviously wrong. thanks for the suggestions, david

I check the cable, and it looks great. I check the connectivity for all six conductors in the wire and they are good. The connector to the sensor is clean, no water in it or anything. The other end is also hooked up properly. I opened the case and the wires go up to the panel and look fine...

My Autopilot is reporting 0 salt in the pool. I happen to know this incorrect because last week it showed 3500ppm. Any ideas on what I can check? I've dealt with salt generator issues, but never an issue where it thinks there is no salt. Is there a way to override this and get it to run...

Nope no cleaning of the tiles. That is a good idea though, I should have done that before they put new plaster in. Oh well . . .

More pictures. After the initial prep, where they chiseled off the plater around all the plumbing and tile, they sandblasted the entire pool to clean up any loose plaster. They then did the repair to the rebar and covered it with hydrolic cement. Next was this bonding coat, I was thinking it...

Today a couple guys showed up to start the replaster work. They spent about 3 hours, drained the pool, chipped plaster out from the two spots that need repairing and from around the tile and returns. Looks dirty but so far so good. Tomorrow they will finish the repair, sandblast the entire...

OK I've had two companies come out and take a look. They confirm it is either rebar or rebar ties that are rusting. One recommends cutting into gunite, epoxy coating the rebar, plaster. The other recommends cutting into gunite, cut out rebar, fill with hydrolic cement, plaster. Both seem...

Anyone have suggestions on good, bad? PMs work as well if you don't want to post. I've contacted Hines already, just looking for others. thanks, david

So what is involved in a re-plaster job? Maybe I can get educated before calling out contractors. david

A couple years ago I noticed a stain in my pool. I tried the typical things to remove it, brushing, chlorine, etc. I finally decided that a piece of asphalt shingle had blown into the pool and had dissolved while I was away and it was stained with tar and moved on. Since then it has gotten...
