    Aqua Connect - Hayward ProLogic & Google Home

    Anyone know if the Hayward Prologic panel can interact with Google Assistant via the Wireless Bridge/Connection? I'm contemplating installing the necessary components so I can control my pool equipment with my phone (Android) but wondering if it also interacts with Google Home/Assistant?

    Does "System Off" Disable Any Timers?

    I'm currently doing a water leak diagnostic where I've plugged all my jets and skimmer and turned the system off. The Hayward P4 panel is showing "System Off". However, I do have timers set where the pump is supposed to turn on in the morning automatically. Given I currently have the...

    Raypak Heater - Rusted Burner Plate, Ruptured Pilot Tube

    So, we've had our pool for 5 years now - original owners and everything was brand spanking new when installed. This year, when opening our pool, the technician indicated we have a ruptured pilot tube and the burner plate has completed rusted. Any idea how this happened and why it has...

    I currently have the pro logic system and one of the aux1 is used to manually turn on/off my landscaping lights. The landscaping lights are connected to a small black transformer box which is connected to an outdoor electrical outlet that is connected to the Hayward p4 panel. When I want to...

    Aqua Pro Logic - Can't Rename Aux1, Heater1 etc.

    I have the Hayward P4 Pro Logic system. The manual indicates that through the configuration menus, there's an option to rename the inputs to a more user friendly name. I see all of the options in the menus except for the one to choose the name for the inputs. What am I missing here? Is there...

    Which Temp Sensor Is Most accurate?

    My raypak heater is showing 84 degrees while my p4 aqua logic panel is showing 86 as well as the tcell showing 86. Is it safe to assume that the panel temp then is more accurate given both the tcell temp and panel temp are showing the same? There's always a two degree difference between my...

    Found Leak - Jets on Stairs - Silicone Solution?

    The leak company found the leak today. It was in both jets on the stairs. They have siliconed the jets as a solution and said not to use those returns/jets for 24 hours. My question is how good of a solution is this? This is a brand new pool installation. Do I need to request that the stairs...

    Cell Temp Vs Pool Temp Vs Thermometer Temp

    I noticed today that that the thermometer in my pool has a reading of 90 degrees but when I check my system display, it says 74 degrees and the cell temp 87. Why such a disparity. Could my pool sensor be damaged and or out of sync somehow? I would think that between the cell temp and the pool...

    I have a vinyl liner pool, brand new, and after conducting a few bucket tests, I can confirm there's definitely a leak. I'm losing close to an inch of water every 24-36 hours.

    AquaVac Climbs Too High Even With Restrictor

    I've noticed that the pool robotic cleaner tries too climb the wall too high even with the restrictor plate on. It gets to the top of the waterline and then a whole lot of air comes out of the unit where the propeller is. Then once it's done cleaning the top it just fals to the bottom of the...

    My New Pool Test Results

    Haven't been able to buy the testing kit yet, but have been using a local pool store that is actually quite good and doesn't recommend purchasing things you don't need. I do plan to buy the testing kit though. Here were the results I got today: FC 3.4 TC 3.8 CC 0.4 PH 7.8 CH 300 Alkalinity 80...

    Black Rubbery Strip Between Stairs & Liner Peeled Right Off

    Today in my pool, I noticed a black rubbery thin strip that I presume was acting to prevent water from entering between the stairs and the liner peel right off on both sides of the stairs. It was a very thin black strip. Should I be concerned? I have noticed that my water level seems to have...

    Used PH Reducer with SWG

    First time pool owner and opened the pool this past weekend. Had my water tested at the store and ph levels were too high. They sold me a ph reducer which I used. Now, through the great info on this forum, I see that dry acid and ph reducers should not be used when one has a swg. What's the...

    Pump runtime and dialing in SWG.

    I live in an area that has higher electricity rates during the day. My neighbour's pool guy has mentioned that it only costs $0.04 per hour to keep the pump/filter running and recommended he keep it running all the time. I'm not convinced. I. Was thinking of running mine between 11am to 2pm...

    Have started getting bubbles out of returns

    Last night, every time I'd have the pump on, after a few mins of operation I would get air bubbles coming out of both returns. I checked the pressure on the filter and noticed it was high so I used the orange release valve to relieve some of the pressure and a whole heck of a lot of air came...

    Remote & P4 System Says Low Salt, But Tests Show Normal

    My salt levels are between 3,000 - 3,500 PPM as they should be, however my P4 and remote system keep saying low salt levels and for me to check the salt level. Is there perhaps something wrong with the salt sensor/meter that's measuring the salt level or do I need to reset the system? Not too...

    Pool Taking Longer Time To Heat Than Expected

    AquaPod Remote Showing Wrong Water Temperature

    I have the Hayward Goldline AquaPod remote control and it shows the air temperate, cell temperature and water temperature. I've noticed that it's not showing the accurate reading for the water temperature compared to what's shown on the actual Raypak heater I have outside. Any ideas what might...
