Good Morning, I know there have been a few posts about this topic but I wanted to share my pictures for review and advice as well. Currently, my pool is drained for maintenance and I noticed a few hairline cracks in the plaster, see pictures. I believe they have been there for some time now...

Hello All, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! :cool: My wife is always sitting on the edge of our pool and uses a towel (to protect her swimsuit) to sit on. I was wondering if anyone knows of a mat/seat that would also provide some cushion. I have found a few online but also read they...

Jim, Makes sense! Thanks for that tip as well. Enjoy your day!

Jim, My pump is now scheduled to run at 2000rpms from 5am - Midnight. From 7am - noon and 7pm to midnight I have it set to run at 2300rpm. Also, from 9pm to 10pm, I have it set to run at 2500rpm High Skim. My issue is that when I went to turn the pump off by pressing the "F" (filter/pump)...

Jim, I was able to set this up using the AUX2 relay switch on the ET. Now, when people come over to swim all I have to do is hit the button to ramp my RPMs up to 2500. Much easier that going into the pump speeds and adjusting it up manually every time. Thanks again for all of your help! (y)

Jim, Thanks so much for all of your help. I really appreciate it! Have a good 4th of July weekend.

Jim, I was able to rename the FEATURE 1 to SKIM HIGH thanks to your guidance. That was definitely a chore going through every letter and symbol on the ET but I did it either way. Do you know if there is a way to assign a pump speed to one of the AUX buttons? Let's say I have people over to swim...

Jim, I was able to (thanks to your guidance) set up a test schedule from 4pm to 5pm at 2500RPM. It worked as expected, from 4 to 5pm the pump jumped up to 2500 RPM's then at 5pm it went back down to 2300 RPMs. Never knew this was an option, so cool. :D Could you tell me how to rename FEATURE 1...

Jim, I was able to follow your instructions and get Feature 1 set up at 2500 RPM. Tested it and it worked. On to step 2...

Oh, I see. It will be a miracle if I can figure this out but I enjoy a good challenge! :) Could I set it (schedule) to change speeds during certain times of the day or would I have to go hit (turn on) a AUX button in order to change the speeds to "skim high" or "skim low" like you did in your...

Hello Jim, Sorry for the late response on the above! Thank you for the information. Do I need to have Screen Logic in order to do this?

Thanks for the information.

Anyone use the Algimycin 2000 weekly in their pool? I currently do not have algae in my pool and have not had past issue with it but have a few bottle of this on hand. Was wondering if it is worth using to ensure I do not have algae issue. I believe keeping the correct water chemistry should be...

I backwashed on 6/4/2020 and today 6/8/2020 my PSI has increased from 8 to 11, run my pump at 2100RPM. Normally, it does not happen that quickly so I am a little concerned. We did have a busy weekend in the pool this past weekend but I would not think that would cause such a quick increase. I...

I had the same issue until I found this thread. TFP is the BEST resource for pool owners! :cool:

Jim, I have been trying to figure out how to get the pump to speed up for a few hours like you mentioned above. Do you have any guidance on that? If I need to start a new thread I can do that, just let me know. Can't seem to find it in my eady touch book. Thanks, Greg

I know this post is old but wanted to share that I found the salt that was mentioned in the beginning at Rural King for $5.99/bag. I usually by the Aqua salt but am going to try my luck with this brand. It does not have the "stain fighter" that the Aqua Salt claims to have but I am not sure it...

JoyfulNoise, Thanks for the information. Pool company who closed it came out and said the valve was installed backwards (a different company did the installation of the slide). They changed it to the correct way, now there is no issue with the slide leaking water when the valve is in the off...

Hello, I had my pool company close my pool last year and they opened it this year. I was out there with them and when we turned the valve (see picture, located just to the right of the pump) to turn the slide on a bad odor came out for the first minute or so. Was this due to them not...

Jim, Thanks for the information. I add D.E. using the 5 gallon bucket method. :)

Jim, Do you prefer a certain brand of D.E.? Previously I used Celatom but this year I bought from Dicalite.
