Hello forum, Have had a Aqualink Z4 controller for about six years. No issues until the other day when I noticed the pool pump was not running. Went to the controller and saw the controller only showing the text "TRi-Pure" and the time (see pic). Tried a few things, nothing. Called Zodiac, was...

Not sure if anyone else has, or has had this problem with the Zodiac Z4. If I set my pool pump program from say 8am - 6pm, but at 5:30pm I manually turn on the spa mode, at 6pm the spa and heater shuts off, the valves move to the pool setting and then nothing happens. I then have to manually...

Unit is off for now. Pump is on @ 1,700rpm. Double checked and I did add 9x40lb bags. 4100 90 31.3 0.00 30P -0 AL-0 r1.59 t-15 AquaRite T-15

I used the test strips that came with the Hayward. The pump ran all night and the SWG did not get turned on until last this morning. I would say it was a good 13 hours. The test strip barely showed a reading above 1 before I added the salt. I was about to add more salt because the test strip...

Just converted to SW. Added 9x40lb bags last night. Plumbed in today. Reading at 4100. Should I empty and re-fill with fresh water, or let it go for a couple of days?

OK, thanks. Was in the instructions.

Going to be installing my SWG this weekend. Aqua Rite install manual says to add, if not new water, 1 quart of metal remover and 1 quart of non-copper based algaecide. Should I? Thanks.

From what I understood when I called Pentair (before I went with Hayward) is that you can wire the power directly to your sub panel/power supply, and just use the units flow valve as the on/off, so to speak. When your pump shuts off, the unit will stop producing as there is no flow. Again, that...

Hmm. Thank you. I have no metal in the pool apart from the pool light. Both hand rails are out of the water and no ladder. Heat exchanger is titanium. Not sure what, if any, besides maybe springs in the check valves have metal in them.

I am putting in the same SWG. I am going to add the SWG after my pool heater but before the pool/spa return split. The flow valve, however, will be placed on the pool side return only with at least 12" on straight pipe before the flow valve. The panel will be wired directly to the sub panel on a...

OK. So can I do this. I will bury the zinc anode in the ground and run the copper wire up through the skimmer overflow and just dangle the copper ground wire in the skimmer water. Will that work?

Is seems the general consensus is to install some kind of sacrificial anode (zinc) when using a SWG. I have already ordered a zinc plate that fits in the skimmer basket. It was $25 and is probably a good investment. My question is, I have a small overflow drain in my skimmer that I could use to...

Think I am going to go with the Hayward!
