    How do I clean a corroded pilot?

    Last year we replaced our old heater with a new Raypak LowNox unit, which I put in myself. Last fall we started having problems with the heater not lighting - you would hear it clicking over and over, but it never lighted. Hurricane Ike hit us shortly after that, and after dealing with all...

    Variable speed replacement pump feasible?

    Our 3 year old Hayward Super II 2-speed pump motor (1.5 HP uprated) is dying, and I am looking into the feasibility of replacing it with a variable speed pump. First off, my specs: - 12,000gal in ground gunite with large overflow spa - Waterfall on separate Dynamo pump (which is also near...

    Tristar variable speed and Prologic

    Anyone have experience with using a Tristar variable speed pump with the Pro Logic? I'm just curious how you use the Pro Logic to select different speeds on the Tristar. I know you need that extra controller to interface with, but I've read the manual and it says nothing about how to program...

    pH woes

    I've been trying to balance everything according to the sticky for SWG water balance, and I'm having trouble keeping my pH swings under control. We just had the pool replastered about 8 weeks ago, so I'm guessing that's part of the problem, but it seems like things should be leveling out by...

    Goldline High Salt/Amps error

    I have a new Goldline Pro Logic PS-8 controller with the salt cell, which I installed about 10 days ago. The first or second time I used the spa, it gave me a "Check System" error message and said "High Salt/Amps". At the time, my salt level was 3400 ppm, which the manual says is the top end...

    I know it's a strange request, but I would like to see some pictures of your automation system installations. I am installing my own Goldline PS-8 system, and I am interested in seeing how others have protected the low voltage cables running from stuff like valve actuators, temperature sensors...

    Need help replacing a valve

    I'm replacing the intake valves on my pool so they can work better with the Pro Logic automation system I am installing, and I ran into a problem. The line coming from the spa was glued to where there is only about 1/8" of pipe sticking up above the pad before you hit a fitting. It's a 2" pipe...

    Aquarite cell installation question

    I'm installing my Pro Logic PS8 system this weekend, and I got the Aquarite chlorinator option with it. In the manual (yes, I read those :-D ), it says that the cell can be mounted horizontally or vertically, but it doesn't say anything about the flow switch. Can the flow switch be mounted...

    What are you automating?

    I have a Goldline Pro Logic PS4 controller on the way, and now I'm having second thoughts as to whether or not I should have got the PS8 instead. Here's what I would like to control: - 2-speed pump (takes 2 circuits) - waterfall pump - pool lights - spa blower So, I really need 5 circuits...
