    J&J Colorsplash VU vs. Jandy HydroCool

    I've had 3 of the nicheless savi melody lights since we built the pool in 2012. With all of the known issues, I've had them replaced a time or two. The last batch lasted about 6 years but now one of them is out. I was thinking of getting one of the Jandy HydroCool lights which have a 3 yr...

    Still not clear on sequestering agent

    I've got an intellichlor SCG. I'm pretty sure its the rusty umbrella poles. I also have a cracked tile that has rust stains around it that I think must have some rebar behind it thats leaching through the crack. It might make more sense to drain the pool and fix the tile. Thanks for the info...

    Still not clear on sequestering agent

    I noticed some overall staining on walls and floor of my plaster. I rubbed a vitamin C tablet and it cleared right up. I think its Iron coming from the 3 cheap umbrella poles that sat in the tanning ledge for the past year. So my plan is to do an Acorbic Acid treatment. But I'm still confused on...

    Will a little bit of well water cause metal problems?

    We're experience a pretty good drought here in the south east, so my pool is down about and two inches. I've never really had to add water before, rain pretty much keeps it full. The problem is that my outdoor hose bibbs are all on well water. By my calculations I need to add about 700 gallons...

    Can't find SWG surge board #521091

    Lightning strike took out the main board and the SWG surge board in my EasyTouch 4. The board has PCB #521091 printed on it, but from reading another forum that's not the true retail part number. They say the real part number is #521218 but googleing that shows a different board than the one I...

    EasyTouch 4 circuit not communicating with pump

    Ok. I've tried a couple of different thing and it seem like it's both the main board AND the SWG board (and probably before its all said and done a new protocol adapter). Thanks for all of your help on this:goodjob:

    EasyTouch 4 circuit not communicating with pump

    Thanks for all your help Jim. I see what your saying with the Service mode. I have the new board in now and I decided to remove the SWG and the protocol adapter wires from the Comm port and just have the pump wires only. Turned everything back on and SUCESS, the pump display says "Display not...

    EasyTouch 4 circuit not communicating with pump

    No I still can't connect to ScreenLogic. I'm not sure how to tell if the SWCG reports back to the ET with a valid %. The adapter may be shot for all I know, the light is red on the front. Green light on the back. After I installed the board, I changed the EasyTouch to "service" mode and hit the...

    EasyTouch 4 circuit not communicating with pump

    I unplugged the protocol adapter but that didn't help. I assumed the motherboard was shot so......I purchased a new one....but that didn't do the trick either. Could it be the SWG board? The SWG comes on fine at the scheduled time but the pump just doesn't get the message to turn on. The 4 low...

    EasyTouch 4 circuit not communicating with pump

    I've got an EasyTouch 4-circuit / IntelliChlor that won't communicate with the variable speed pump. I can turn the pump on by pushing one of the 4 button on the pump itself but when it's in "running schedule" mode it doesn't do anything. The Salt Cell comes on during the scheduled time but the...

    Should I upgrade my Filter?

    I've been using a Pentair T100 sand filter since I built my pool 3 years ago without any problem what so ever. But....I've just been given a brand new Pentair 180007 FLT FNS Plus D.E. filter. I know D.E. Filters are "better" but I've had no complaints with my sand filter except a little algae...
