Did you ever figure out what caused the VSP error. I'm having the same problem now. It looked like the controller didn't have enough voltage for the signal to the pump. I reset the main breaker and that fixed the problem for a few days. Now the problem is back. Reset the breaker again, but...

Re: Hayward Ecostar Pump You're a lifesaver. This has been bugging me for the last month and now that it's getting cold it was bugging me even more. I would think this would be something in the manual, it's pretty important. Either way thank you very much for your help.

I had an Ecostar pump installed back in September and was bummed that I couldn't run it to its' full potential from the Aqua Plus controller I have. My question is how do you enable the freeze protection on the pump? I can't find it in the manual or anywhere online. I disabled to freeze...

I tried this last week using 2lbs of citric acid. It worked great. I got the stains after I had my pool drained, acid washed and then filled. Thanks for putting this thread together my pool's spotless again.

Yes, I'm using an acid feed system. I actually turned the acid feed system completely off for almost a week and now all of my tests are coming in perfect. My automation system readings are way off, so I think I need to clean the probes and recalibrate. I'm going to try that and see what happens.

Just came back from the pool store. Alkalinity <50, PH very low. Was advised to turn off the acid feed for a few days due to the amount of acid in my pool. Could this be due to using ORP and having the Chlorinator set to 50%? Does anyone know how to disable ORP along wihh the acid feed...

I used the 10ml size. I just dropped my chlorinator from 50% to 30%. I tested the CYA and it looks to be around 30ppm.

Hello, everyone. I just tried testing my pool with the K-2006 test kit for the first time. If I did it right it shows my PH is at 7.0. I tried running the Chlorine test but I could never get the water to turn from pink (or should I say red in this case) to white. I currently have my...

Also is this a good price and good test kit Taylor Complete FAS-DPD Pool Water Test Kit K-2006 $52.40.

Signature has been updated. I actually have a pool guy maintaining the pool right now since I just moved it and I'm still learning about maintaining it. Unfortunately he's not very good at giving me all the results of the tests he runs weekly, so that's why I'm trying to learn this stuff...

I have the AquaPlus with the Total Chemistry kit and acid feed system. I've now had my setup running for a couple of months now and all my levels including ORP seem to be staying at the correct levels except for my chlorine which is around a 5. Anyone have sugggestions on what I need to do to...

That was it, thanks for the help. I adjusted the float valve and the pool level rose to where I needed it.

Hello Everyone!!! I just came home today and decided to check on my filter and pump. It runs automatically on its own when I'm at work, but I just wanted to make sure everything was working okay. Anyway when I went to turn it on there was a lot of air the pump. I have my manual valve opened...

That makes sense for the pH readings. I didn't know about a temp compensation. I'll give Hayward a call asap. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the feedback. I've been looking around the forum and other places and have noticed there are a lot of issues with the ORP systems and have thought about disabling it. I'm not sure what swcg stands for, but I'm going to dig a little more into the manual and possibly make the change...

Hello Everyone, I recently moved into a new home with a pool and spa. I drained the pool, had it cleaned and then installed the Hayward Aqua Plus controller with the Total Chemistry kit and Acid Feed system. I've never owned a pool and really don't understand all this chemistry stuff, but I...

I have the same issue. I just moved into a home with a pool/spa and my AquaPod dies right when I remove it from the charger. I'm forced to buy another one for over $350 if I want it or just keep using this one and always have it plugged into the charger. This is Haywards version of the Iphone...
