Re: CSPC36, Shld I buy new cell - Controller wire is melted Hi All, I have an email into compupool at this time.. I am a little worried about spending monies on a new cell only but it seems like the cell has its own warranty. Would I void it if I hook it up? Seems awful expensive for the...

Hi All, We have obtained a used CSPC36 with a burnt cell. Is it worth buying a new cell at about $400 for this? does the cell come with a warranty or guarantee? The original owner experienced a short in the end with the elec connection. The controller seems fine but the wire is melted on...

WE just slice the bag and let it sit on the steps. It is gone by the next day. We have a vinyl pool.

I need a little advice. Last week I hooked up the new pentair superflo and upon powering up it blew fuses and more. Wiring example supplied verbally by Pentair was wrong and the diagram was blury - so I did the wiring. Now the pump doesn't work so I feel the motor is blown. Also, I don't...

I called Pentair service Monday eve. and we went thru a couple of tests. My pump is not changing speed, it should operate on high and then I switch it to low. Pentair put a service call in for me and said a service representative will call within 2 days and then come to check it out. One...

Thats what I am hoping for. I will call Pentair... I will get new toggle, maybe they will supply one that operates with a definitive up down toggle feel. Its ..a nice rubber toggle but doesnt seem to have a good feel or switch

Thats it! That is the way I have it. But no change in motor speed when I toggle? Can the toggle be defective or burnt Its running strong right now until?? I feel on low. you can't hear it until are about 15' away. So very quiet. The side jets feel strong but I cant see the floor jets...

ummm you can read that diagram. It is blury on the pump!! I need glasses. So do I need another leg to #2 on pump? maybe by a pigtail? or just move the red wire to #2?

It worked!!! I moved one red supply wire to the #1 position on pump. The pump is running. But it is slow but when I toggle the switch on the back of the pump it doenst change any speeds. Just on slow. Did I blow the switch? My wireing is such that Switch #1 position with a white wire goes...

So I should move a red from position 3 to 1. But it looks as if this is not connected to anything? The pentair guy stated to connect a red to the white and black. I thought putting the wire on position 3 ocnnected it to the white and I did a direct connection with the black. I will switch...

Well here are some pics. I turned elec on and the breakers clicked off again... I disconnected the red wires and they do measure 110v. The pump came with a white and yellow (connected to motor) and a black (pigtailed w/plastic cap). I removed the black wire and connected the red to directly...

thank you for those kind word. I agree this isnt good for me and everyone to decifer my english. I will take a couple of pics.

Sorry for all the confusion....I appologize, you see I am a civil eng. not an electrician. Who know enough to get myself in trouble!! see below. I checked my boxes, and I do have 220. main elec panel has a 60 amp dual breaker with a white and green wire grounding. pool elec. panel has 3...

Well, I need to open my elect box and see if the existing neutral wire is long enough to reach a breaker.. Just to note I have 2 red and one green wire, why 2 red wires? So one of these is neutral or a ground? I am going home to measure the voltage and check the existing breakers and...

I am replacing my 1 speed pump which is wired with 110v. I have 2 red and one green wire. The pool is 5 years old so my exisiting wiring is good. I got a 1 hp 2 speed pump but it needs 220v wlectrical supply. Can I just change the circuit breakers in the fuse box??? The wiring is very...

Thanks and they do have them... but the cost of a part is $160 ish, plus a new cover $33 so I can actually see into this 5 year old pump. But I may get a new pump, the pinnacle has been replaced by the super flow and they are about $270. Cant see going for the varable speed pumps they are...

Dont turn it with a lever.. Mine was stuck untill I inserted a lacrosse stick to get more leverage. I cracked the pump housing basket! I was trying to prime my pump for initial start up last night. To fix it temporarily I have coated it with pvc glue. This mourning it did start up and...

Central Jersey location Opened last week temp was at 51 deg seemded to go up about 3 degrees a day, but last night the pool temp was 65 and the kids went in at dusk - with wetsuits on :) Still need to take a water sample but I started to add chlorine via the skimmers. My Liquid chlorinator...

Thanks guys, I called around trying to save shipping but it seems like not many stores even stock a board. I ordered the SR Smith board that is solid wood. There seems to be two or three main manufactures of residential boards and they all seem to have similar boards, none go beyond the...

We added salt to the pool last year, I dont have a swg but we are never going back (we are to add the boarates this year ). Not everyone picked up on the salt. Now where ever I go I can tell if there is the slightest bit. Its nothing like the ocean and it doesnt make you float anybetter...

What are the better diving boards, our 8' board split on the bottom and the wood kinda split with the fiberglass. So much for the cannon ball competitions. What are the better boards? ours was rated at 250lbs but I noticed there are two pieces of wood on the bottom encompassed by fiberglass...

My pentair light leaks also! I have a Amerquartz 500w light and it leaks thru the back, I can see bubbles coming thru it conduit. I called customer service only to get hung up on, whats up with that. Called back and insisted on a phone number for a warranty visit, called that number and...

Our pool was green and it seemed it wasn’t clearing up after a lot of liquid chlorine/brushing. My pool store man recommended “Yellow Out” and I used it with more liquid chlorine (CYA is 40, raised PH to 8). It cleared the green out and left a lot dead algae in one night and a lot of...

Aqua comfor heat pump We have one of those and it works. When we turned it on it took about two days to heat the Pool (20x40) from about 70 to over 80, it ran the whole time the pump was running (10hr/day). Now the pool is at 82ish and I will run the heat pump Fri for the wkend. It seems...

We did this over the last couple of weeks. Got the test strips and our initial test was hard to read, near zero. Added 2or 3-80lb bags over two evenings (had my son poor into skimmer a little at a time, also placed a bag on the steps and made a large slice in the bag - 3 minutes to dissolve)...

Pool temp went down to 60 after last weeks lack of sun here in NJ. Today the temp was back to 66 and after today...maybe 70's. Warm enough for the kids. I may turn the heat on for this weekend.
