Hello, Have a Pentair SWC now entering it's 2nd season. The cell builds up calcium and twice a year I clean it out per Pentair's instructions. The issue is I cannot seem to keep FC levels up and am shocking the pool once a week now to keep the algae bloom from going crazy. The salt level...

Hi All, I have a Maytronics Sprite utilizing NastyBags. The robot works great most of the time BUT after it's 2.5 hour clean at night, it sits on the bottom of the pool. If I go to restart it, I get a plume of dirt out the top exhaust for about 5 seconds upon restart. This also happened with...

"A regular landscaping light transformer does not have that protection and puts you are far more risk." Hi Jason, I would respectively disagree with your statement above. And not to make a big deal about this, but SAFETY is the number 1 concern. I should have gone further into my comment about...

Hello Heebs and welcome, I have the same 12 VAC 5G pool light. What I did was tie it into my landscape lighting transformer which is 12 VAC. Just make sure you've got enough wattage on your transformer to handle the light. IF you google landscape lighting transformers, you'll have plenty of...

I must be havin' a bad math day-SORRY-DUH Used 30 drops times 10=300, So looks like this is OK

Hi Guys trying to get this dialed in, close but very high CH FC=4.0 CC=0 TC=4.0 PH=7.5 T/A=110 This is parked at 110, cannot get it lower no matter how much MA I dump in CYA=30 Salt=3440 Borates 80 CH=3000, I was in disbelief, re did the test, same result. Using last years chemicals...

TA today is 110

thx sir, will do

Untested as of today, just getting setup for the season, accidentally fell in and the pool was ball numbing cold for our climate here in AZ-My wife was laughing hysterically, dog too.

Great and thanks, Sorry for the dumb-a** question, should have gone directly to the pool calc

Ah Haa. Perhaps this will help with the acid usage. I've been dumping in a gallon per week just to keep it in check. How much borax did you use in your 15K pool?

Hi guys, Do I use borax if I have a SWG pool?

Looks like fun!

Hi Guys, Just picked up a Dolphin Sprite as my last robot died and out of warranty. I only have one issue, when the robot finds it's way to the main drain cover the robot gets hung up (beached) and I have to pull it off manually. Any ideas how to resolve this one? thx

Light your wall, some examples here http://www.lettherebelightllc.com/gallery.html

Yes, Sometimes if there is not enough load on the LED line you could get flicker. As most landscape lighting is LOVO 12 VAC, you could put a volt meter on the fixture to see what it reads. If it's under 12 VAC you could get flicker. THe better Landscape retrofits will run 8-18 VAC but come at a...

Well...whats really annoying is ZERO customer service form the company that distributes the Nitro Wall Climber. I really like the unit at the beginning of the season, but now, I get ZERO response as if the company does not exist. The unit I have was new and in 6 months has died, using it once...

No pump, no drive motor operation on the unit itself, all indicator lights on the power supply red and green work fine.

Hi guys, Have a Nitro Wall Climber was new at the beginning of the season 2012. Has worked great on a weekly basis. Just came back from a trip and went to use it. Started fine like it always did, then for some unknown reason quit. Did the usual inspection and cleaning, could find nothing...

CREE just makes the dye

As full disclosure, I am in the landscape lighting business here in AZ. Not promoting, just offering friendly advice. I would agree with CraigMW about the CREE dye being the best. CREE is the only dye manufacturer that offers it's proprietary silicon carbide substrate which is very robust and...

Craig, In your area try the company called Hydroscape. Landscape supply house. They will have what you are looking for regarding LED lamps for landscape lights. I am not affiliated. thx

Thanks for the schematic!

Looks like it can't get any easier-a simple 3 way switch-thx very much!! I'll get it done.

Thank you guys for the quick response, Mine is the EP-4 http://www.ecopoolpumps.com/pump-specs.html Please disregard the labels on the timer pictures. The left timer is the pump and the right timer is the SWG. Both 230VAC The directions on the ECO pump website for the two speed setup is vague...

I have a 2 speed 1.65 hp Eco Pump which was originally installed at one speed, high only. This pump runs for 8 hours from 8pm to 4 am daily when I am off peak power from my electric company. In 8 hours at full speed, I circulate 13,000 gallons twice. Question, Is there any benefit at all to...
