Be interesting to hear how they fix unit. Install looks very clean. I have no idea if mounting on angle is problem or not. Quite some time ago I sent email to Pentair with some questions about cell mounting and got this response. Does not mention mounting at angle...

If the flow LED is red then the salt status lights will continue to cycle. Nothing will change until the flow LED is green. Manual has a troubleshooting section in the back. Easy things would be to ensure all valves are in proper position, no debris in blocking flow switch. Switch in located...

Since you seem to have timers not automation center to power IC40 there should be separate power supply box that also needs to be installed. The power supply box can be wired to use 110 or 220. Mine came set up for 220 when new. Installation manual has instruction on how to wire power supply...

Pump speed is controlled by automation control system. Runs on high for first three minutes of a timed cycle and/or when the automation system activates solar heat. Low is activated when hi is not required. My automation system is homegrown but I believe just about any pool automation control...

Last year our electric utility was offering $200 rebates to change to 2 speed pool pumps. Rebate was good for complete pump or replacement motor as Mark suggested. If my memory is correct, cost for motor and relay needed to control speeds was about $300. So with rebate net was $100, payoff...

Replacment part list for pump can be found here:http://www.haywardnet.com/pdfs/replace_pdfs/114Hay2009.pdf Scroll to bottom of page and you will find impellers are matched to motor HP. Pump performance data is here http://www.haywardnet.com/inground/products/displayProd.cfm?ProductID=11 As...

Might want to review specifications on Hayward's web site, http://www.haywardnet.com/inground/products/displayProd.cfm?ProductID=224 Under the Features section: +Self-priming (suction lift up to 8 feet of water level)

Not sure if your use case but have you considered infrared thermometers such as this or one of these?

Are you saying all I have to do to cure this type of infestation is to turn up the percentage on the SWG? :lol:

Dolphin brand is owned by Maytronics LTD. Maytronics is an Israeli company. My Dolphin has a made in Israel label. Service in US is handled by Maytronics USA. My Dolphin is two years old. Had an issue with wall climbing at first, contacted Maytronics USA and they sent different floats. No...

Maybe something from Intermatic would fit your needs. Basic timer is not real expensive. Linkto give some idea of cost.

Goods news is you have several options, bad news is picking one. JasonLion's options work well and seem to be the least expensive. Woollybully’s option of Jandy 7092 will give you a modern very functional unit. Jandy also has model # PDACONVJ PDA Conversion Kit that you should be able to...

Have you looked into conversion kits? Jandy web page

I did not use Hot Sun, did the design and install myself. Do know two others who did use Hot Sun, they are happy with results. I have about 60% coverage that works well. Get 10 to 15 degree rise without cover.

Hot Sun has extensive site with lots of information. They will work with you to design and price a system based on your requirements. Not sure about ground frames but you could ask.

If you are sure of your salt level in the pool and the SWG is reading incorrectly then the SWG indeed must be calibrated. This is common for all SWG installs no matter the make/model. spishex posted instructions for Intellichlor SWG above. Pisces, do you know if your PB has tried to calibrate...

Could you please clarify what LED is red? The title of your post indicated cell LED. The manual states the cell LED is red if water temp is too low, yours is not too low. spishex advice is good not matter what. The calibration would apply if the salt LED is red. Here is excerpt from owners...

In keeping with Waste's idea of an AO Smith replacement, you need model # UST1102 Two examples of suppliers: Inyo Pools Aqua Superstore You can also do a google search for UST1102, it is a common motor. Also follow Waste's advice on seal assembly (SP 1600 Z 2) and a housing gasket (SP 1600 T).

Are you think about something like this? Interesting idea would indeed solve the issue. Cost and installation are considerations.

Assuming the two computers share a common network such as common access to the Internet, another way to allow computers network access to a common printer is via a dedicated print server device. This would not require any PC to be designated as the print server. Only the dedicated print server...

You are correct; it does measure the whole house vs. something like Kill-a-Watt that monitors what you plug into the unit. Each has it use, Kill-a-Watt for items that use plugs and whole house for things that you cannot plug into the Kill-a-Watt such as central A/C and some pool equipment...

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) has an interesting offer under their rebate program for a PowerCost Monitor for $39.95. Bad news is this only for SMUD customers. Offer can be viewed here on SMUD site or here on manufacture's site. SMUD site is slow sometimes. There is also...

I am a little slow sometimes, the switch directly above the lamp switch looks to also be an X10 switch such as this one X10 PRO 120V/20A "On" & "Off" only, Rocker Style Switch Could be for your water features.

The switch below the “Lamp” label looks to be an X-10 light switch. Here is link about switch, X10 Switch PRO Dimming Wall Module. There is link to manual under the more info tab. BTW the slide switch under the center button looks to be in the off position. If you slide it to the left...

I used both tile soap and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Probably not a factor but I will see if I can find MDS for tile soap tonight. Water never turned cloud. I run the filter for about 10 hours split into three periods. I never noticed any white precipitate but between the Dolphin (Tuesday &...

I see Chem Geek has started a thread to explore CYA loss that some folks seem to be experiencing similar to mine. In an attempt to add data to the great CYA mystery, here is my experience for the past two week with CYA levels: 1. Ran bucket test to ensure no leaks. 2. According to Pool...

Here is fairly simple way to calculate cost to run pool motor in case anyone is interested. It will give a reasonably accurate estimate of cost to run pump. formula: Cost = ((Volts x Amps)/1000) x Power Factor x Rate x Usage Example: Cost to run typical 1.5 hp pump for 8 hours: Amps 10 -...

Appreciate the ideas. Understand about the auto fill possibility. That is why I did the bucket test to ensure there are no leaks (auto fill was off). Pool and bucket drop matched. The drain is part of the auto fill well and its input is below water line and protected from floating debris...

About two weeks ago my CYA reading was 70 to 80 just like it has been since April. Last weekend it suddenly was 40 to 50. We have the Taylor K-2006 kit. No other parameters are affected. This seems like a very sudden change even taking into account the test is somewhat subjective. I did...
