    The timer only works in 5 minute increments...but trust me, 5 minutes is infinitely less stress than leaving the stupid fill on for 5+ hours. A five minute test today would put me at overflow again (it fills FAST) and I just got the chems balanced out again. ;-)

    Jblizzle you are a POOL GOD! Everything worked perfect for making the change to my configuration! I can't actually test it yet since my pool is already at capacity and my water bill will be outrageous this month from my earlier over site. Once levels go down I will grab a cocktail and enjoy...

    I think it is the AquaLogic PS-8 model. (At least that is what I see on one of the stickers inside the panel. I'm attaching photos in case I am wrong. I am grateful for ANY help you can give as even though I have my pool chems under control...the automation system still intimidates the...

    Does anyone know if it is possible to create a timer on my Hayward/Goldline system? The Fill is connected to "valve 3" and all I really need is to be able to set up a timer similar to the Super-Chlorinate so that it will automatically shut itself off after a designated amount of time. Typically...

    No luck with the timer option. Honestly, even if I couldn't get a water level detector, I would be happy if there was an auto shutoff timer that could be set for 20 minutes or so. But it doesn't appear mine will let me set a timer for that.

    Will Borates help or make matters worse?

    Thanks for the advice! I'll just plan to stock up on MA when I catch it on sale! ;-)

    We purchased our home in December and I am finally feeling like I have a handle in pool maintenance thanks to these forums. My only problem is that for the 3rd time this year I have turned the fill on in my pool and then forgotten it and flooded the pool and yard. Of course this only happens...

    Will Borates help or make matters worse?

    I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I'm having no luck finding it if it has. We live in the Dallas Metroplex and our tap (and therefore fill) water has a very high pH. When it is tested with the Taylor K-1000 kit the tap water nearly turns the test purple. The TA tests in at...

    Chemically Frustrated!

    Hi folks! We bought a house with a pool in December and I have spent the last several months trying to understand how everything works. I think I finally have a handle on it...or at the very least an understanding of what things are supposed to be like. For a while I couldn't understand why I...

    HELP! Completely intimidated Newbie!

    Just a quick update: new (and fabulous) pool guy came and gave the system the once over. Turns out the problem wasn't the check valve but that the previous service company (that I fired) changed the settings on one of the valves. It apparently was intended to keep the fountain spray in the spa...

    HELP! Completely intimidated Newbie!

    The equipment sits around the side of the house from the pool...but that part of the yard is actually a bit lower than the back so it shouldn't sit much higher than the pool level...maybe a few inches at most. I didn't do anything after I removed the lid on the pump since I don't know WHAT to...

    HELP! Completely intimidated Newbie!

    First off...THANK YOU! Y'all have no idea how much anxiety you helped to relieve reassuring me that this is not beyond my ability to take on. I will get out tomorrow and take some photos that better show the labels. Lucky for me I think all of the pipes have them so that should prevent a...

    HELP! Completely intimidated Newbie!

    Bare with me as I am a first time pool owner who purchased a home with an existing pool, which of course means I know less than nothing about not only maintaining a pool but about the equipment as well! (I know that there are what appear to be 2 pumps as well as a "booster" pump (?) to this...
