Moved from here. Hi, I'm planning on doing the same: glue back disintegrating bands on the filter cartridge. I have two questions: Can I use simple hot glue if my pool also has a spa? The water gets pretty hot, up to ~104 F in the spa. Will hot glue hold up at those temperatures? My worst...

I just had a similar microswitch problem. If the CVA-24T is the same as my CVA-24, then here is what I know. In my case, the valve would not turn at all, and that was because of the microswitch. And this seems reasonable to me: there are two microswitches, each stops the rotation in one...

I know about the basic technique of interlocking the booster pump so that it can be energized only if the main pump is also energized. I have that: this is built into my EasyTouch controller. But recently a microswitch failed in my CVA-24 valve actuator, and that could have caused the booster...

A microswitch in my CVA-24 valve actuator developed an intermittent contact issue. So the valve stopped turning, and I had to replace the microswitch. But this happens too often: another microswitch failed on me 2 years ago. At that time, I've replaced both microswitches in both of my CVA-24...

Yessss! That solved my issue. Thank you so much!

Awesome, I'm so grateful for you, cubicalmonkey! I installed the capacitor a few weeks ago, and had no problems since, over half a dozen uses of the hot tub. After something like 2 years, my problem seems finally fixed! patterrr, I started a support case with Pentair, asked for a copy of the...

patterrr: Sorry, I have not been around on this forum for a while, so I did not see your post. The answer is no, I did not find a solution (but did not look much further that my post above). I hope a firmware upgrade might help, so I called a few pool service companies, asked them if they...

You rock, both of you. Very precise answers. Thank you very much. So to make sure I understand, if I pour 1 gal of "Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid" (10% NaOCl) into a 30,000 gal pool, then I raised free available chlorine by 3.715 ppm. That is because the density of the chlorinating...

I'm a little confused as to what does exactly "1 ppm free chlorine" mean? I know that "ppm" stands for parts per million, and I also learned that it's always a mass ratio, not volume or moles or anything else. So, 1 ppm = 1 lbs in 1,000,000 lbs. But 1 lbs of what exactly? Of NaOCl or of...

Thank you! Yes, I'm positive the valves were set correctly. The panel did not, by any means, use any hysteresis. I'll do a more thorough test next time, actually measuring things and making notes. I'll also try a firmware upgrade. Does anyone know what are the fixes between my firmware and...

Anyone has any input on my question above? Am I asking in the correct subforum? Thanks in advance. (Since Texas Splash mentioned some server problems, I decided to take the liberty and bump this thread.) Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I noticed something today while I was watching the controller. It was cycling the heater almost constantly, on the order of 20 seconds of so. In more detail: I was running the spa, set at 98°, and the temperature (as measured by the EasyTouch8 sensor) was jumping back and forth between 98° and...

Thank you! Indeed, I'm trying to pressure test the pipe on either side of the valve. So you say that if I open up the valve, I'll be able to fit something like this: 2" Standard Plug - Open: Anderson Manufacturing Company, Inc. into the pipe and do my pressure test? That sounds great. (To...

How reliable is the diverter seal in a 3-way Never Lube Jandy Valve? Can I use that valve to isolate certain pipes during pressure testing, at say, 15 or 20 psi? I'm interested if it can be used in either direction, that is: 1) If I set the valve to close a certain pipe, can I pressurize that...

I got my IC40 out for cleaning, and I noticed this grid on the exit side, which did not look right. So I got curious, and looked up this thread. As this thread says, mine was installed wrong, so I now put it on the inlet side. I can totally believe it was installed incorrectly, because there...

Seems like I have an EasyTouch 4 or 8 control panel with an IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel (p/n 520138). At least I think this is what I have. And it does not work well. Is this supposed to work at all? (I've bought it with the house, and already fired the pool maintenance person who...

Thanks guys, this gives me a lot of confidence now to continue :) I'll be careful not to splash the water out. James, yes, I have SWCG, but now that the water temperature dropped to 61F, it shut off (low salt). I measured 2800-2900 ppm salt (with Taylor titration test). I'll add salt, but my...

Hello, I'm just beginning to learn how to maintain my pool. I have a stupid question about how to use the in-line pentair rainbow 320 chlorine feeder. I've followed the instructions: closed the control valve, then stopped the pump, waited, then restarted the pump, then opened the lid. The...
