    Sharing my repair info on pool pilot Dig220

    Pool Pilot was installed in 2003 and I moved into the house in 2009. I've had to do a few repairs and save money at the same time. When the system quit it had bad capacitors on the main board. Replaced the 2 large caps. When they are bulging they are bad. Allot cheaper than a new board. The age...

    stainless steel brushes

    I have the smaller stainless steel brush I got at pinch a penney. After some use I noticed a piece of bristle in the bottom of the pool 2 or 3 times. One stuck in our grandsons foot. I'm not sure of the brand but did I just end up with a cheap brush or is that more common with steel brushes...

    Standard first tests for unknown pool history?

    Well, just friends pools for now. I think I've maintained my saltwater pool pretty well for the past 4 years. Managed to keep the 2003 Autopilot control working even though the early ones have issues, bad capacitors, running hot etc. I don't have a cage so it is a little more maintenance and...

    Standard first tests for unknown pool history?

    Taylor Salt kit refills

    Where would you recommend getting these refills? R-0630 and r-0718. I really don't need the whole kit. Already have 2 vials. Does tftestkits have these? I will be ordering other refills too. I guess it might end up the money I save from tftestkits would make up just buying the kit. Thanks Mike

    Advice on equipment replacement

    I have a SWG and spa with 2hp pump and 2" lines. Was designed that way in 2003. So when I have to replace the pump am I limited with what will work economically, 2 speed, variable or stay with what I got because of the flow rate in 2" plumbing. It does get a little confusing with all the...

    Cell life?

    With cell life not so long and expensive it would be nice if someone figured out a way to rebuild them for half the price.

    dig 220 no display

    My followup. I called aquacal, explained the problem and what testing I did. they said I will probably need a new control/display board. Cost is somewhere between $500-$600. My system was installed in 2003. It would not be worth fixing this as the cell will not last let alone other components...

    dig 220 no display

    I have a pool pilot dig 220 which was installed about 2003. The display intermittently started going blank and now does not work. All fuses are good, circuit breakers on and have power. I wish I had a schematic for the system to diagnose the electronics and display. I do electronics diagnose and...
