You might want to check your power wiring.

Interesting, I am having the same problem as you have.

I'm not sure what's a good CYA level it should be for my pool. The reason I say it's low because on the CYA chart, it start with 60 so I figure mine is low. Do you supposed to lose FC level after a rain? If so, how much FC do you lose after a rain?

I can probably get someone to do it for sure. However, I'm a control system specialist for oil and gas industry by day so I don't see why I can't get this running by myself, I rather learn how to install it and able to maintain it in case anything happen. The picture just help me understand...

According to the manual, The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240VAC circuit breaker rated at 100A maximum. I am going to have an existing 40A breaker main house connections that feed PLPS8 main powers. Can someone confirm my 40A breaker would be fine?

According to the manual, the ideal pool water "Free Chlorine 1 to 3 ppm". So if my CYA level is at 60 and my FC target is 7, isn't that high compare to the Hayward?

Ok I decided to go with a used Prologic PLPS8. If anyone had one please take a picture of the wiring inside the panel so that I can study it and wire my pool equipment to it. Thanks

Does anyone owned a Prologic PLPS4 or PLPS8? If you do, can you please give me a picture of the inside of the panel so I can study how to wire my stuff up once I have the money to buy a controller? Thanks

I'm interested in Prologic PLPS4, how much will you give them to me for?

Hey guys, The CYA test seem very subjective. My reading could be anywhere between 60-90 depend how I define "not able to see black dot". What's your rule of thumb for CYA test?

Wow, I thought taking care of the pool is complicated with so many chemical. But it actually just regular chlorine and acid. Thank you all.

That does clear up my confusion. Thanks. Besides the tablets, what else could possibly drive up the CYA level?

From what I read, if CYA level too high, the chlorine will burn faster, correct? So basically, you guys do not recommend using any sort of tablet, except for the classic chlorine?

:cheers: - - - Updated - - - My wife went to the store and bought a big box of this tablet. What can I do with this?
