Latest firmware is still from last year however I updated to that latest version about a month ago. It did seem to make the system update its status to the app quicker than it did on the previous version.

Keep in mind that the Omni cannot control the CL 4.0 lights through any method other than the current relay chattering. With the new module it will be able to control the UCL lights but only the network version of those lights. - - - Updated - - - Also keep in mind that even when the new...

It's dead simple. At least the plumbing is.

Sounds like one heck of a pool! Quite a setup. I'm very involved with my Omni however my knowledge of plumbing and pumps is limited. I can tell you that if you want a display and more horsepower the Ecostar is the way to go. If you don't mind not having the display I'd go with the Tristar...

I didn't really expect an explanation but thanks chemgeek. I don't use ORP for chlorination control but I have the probe so I capture the data. You can see my bleach pump dosing in the graph. Each on cycle of the bleach pump represents 17.3 oz of 10% bleach being added. Has no affect at all on...

I just kind of found this graph interesting with respect to ORP and chlorine. I don't use a SWG, I use bleach. You can see where my bleach pump cuts on and it seems to have no affect on ORP. Time of day sure does though.

For anyone interested, here's my latest graphing from the Omni. Live version can be seen here: Live Graph What I find very interesting is the ORP. You can see from the graph that the ORP tends to change from the amount of sunlight. This pool receives no shade. When the bleach pump comes on...

You'd have to ask one of the pump experts on the efficiency. I'm not qualified to answer that. I've just had quite a bit of experience with the Omni and these two pumps. I finally tweaked my ecostar and figured out that for my pool 21% speed is the minimum I can run and still trigger the flow...

Keep in mind that the ONLY Tristar VS pump that will work with Omni Logic is the SP3202VSPND. They specifically released this pump for Omni. This version of the Tristar doesn't have a display either. It's assumed it will always be controlled by the Omni. I've never had a 2 speed pump but I...

Love the plaster color.

Island Blue Pools. Rick Freeman. 713-557-9524.

Take a good look at it when it's done. I wish I had made more of a fuss about it at the time they were doing it, but I have some areas where they didn't do a very good job of revealing the aggregate. They should have washed off more of the plaster in those areas. I've now got that as a "clean...

Found spool's build thread after he PM'd me about the plaster color. I've got to say up until now I'd not seen another pool I liked better than mine. Of course, I designed it. :) But this one is going to be gorgeous. I'm jealous! Love the pavers and the tile. I think the Deep Sea Blue...

Those look nice oz. that's what I'm going for.

I have a ph probe on my sense and dispense which has so far matched all my testing. It was reporting 6.4. I tested and the color guestimate seemed pretty close to the same. PB texted back saying they were using acid to clean the tile and not to worry about it. So it seems to be a result of them...

We got ours from a bamboo nursery in south Houston. It is definitely a clumped, not a runner. I too expect to get grief from the HOA. When they send me a letter I'll chop it and it will be right back to full height next year. We went with what's commonly known as green hedge bamboo. We were...

Pool is about 3 weeks old. For the last 10 days or so I've kept the water nice and balanced. Typically FC 4-6, ph 7.5, TA 80, CH 350, CYA 50, Borates 50. The plaster company was just leaving when I pulled in today. I THINK they were here looking at parts of my plaster where they didn't do a...

I think it really looks amazing at night. The PB suggested those bubblers which I never gave much thought to but I'm really glad he did.

Thanks. We're hoping that bamboo grows fast!

Things are pretty much wrapped up. PB still has some minor things to take care of but the major work is complete. Here are a few pics.

Kris, thanks, that makes sense. Jtech, I highly doubt it. I know that it couldn't control Hayward's own Tristar VS. They actually had to release a new version of that pump specifically for compatibility with OmniLogic.

We ended up going with bamboo. Particularly what's commonly known as Green Hedge bamboo. It will get to around 25' tall. It's a clumping type so that it won't spread like a runner. When doing my homework there are many different kinds to choose from depending on what your goal is. For us we...

Does anyone know the purpose of selecting the type of feature when adding a feature? They list waterfall, waterslide, and one other I don't recall. Choosing any of the three doesn't seem to affect anything else in the configuration.

Casey, thanks for the bump. I have some updated info. I talked to a sales person from Glacier and they said it would indeed be OK to use the 1 1/2" stub out I have that was originally intended for a pressure side cleaner. Their reasoning is that cold water should be returned to the bottom...

My local Hayward rep came out today. Apparently you can't assign multiple features to the same pump. So instead of having a lion feature and a bubbler feature I now have 3. Lion, Bubbler, and Lion/Bubbler. The lion works its valve, the bubbler its valve, and the lion/bubbler the pump. To...

It's pretty darn simple. I'm sure what I'm using they would consider part of their API. I'd sure like to see the entire API published. I'm guessing they would be most unhappy if I published anything here in a public forum. PM me and I'll tell you what I'm doing to get the data and how I...

Started playing with Favorites. From the web interface you can add a favorite. Note however that when you do this it looks as though nothing happened since you can't really use favorites from the web interface. When you go to your phone you'll see it. From the phone you can also add...

One more oddity. My Stenner bleach pump is set up as an accessory. Hayward rep recommended I set it up as an accessory instead of a feature but don't remember why. On the iPad and web interface I see my bleach pump under features along with my lions and bubblers. On the main panel it doesn't...

For the benefit of others with Omni I'm going to post some issues I've run into. Spending a lot more time with it I'm definitely finding more weirdness in the system. Today I set up my Sense & Dispense. I have a Stenner tank for bleach so I'm not using the ORP to control chlorine. I am...

I'm grabbing the data directly from Hayward and logging it into a database for graphing. It's coming along pretty well. Although a fairly major reconfigure of my system today is going to throw it off until I can update the data.
