You're absolutely right about the SWG. The SWG comes on when the Pool circuit is activated, and requires a minimum flow. (SWG normally gets wired to the Pool power relay). To avoid damaging the SWG, I will have to move it over to the Solar relay, or set up a separate circuit and schedule for...

For anyone interested, I got my answer from Pentair. The Intellifo filter pump needs to have the Pool circuit removed from its association. You do this on the screen where you associate circuits to a pump, and assign an RPM. Now, when Pool is activated (either through a program schedule or...

Just added thermal solar to my Easytouch8 controlled in-ground pool/spa. I have a schedule set to run the filter pump 8-5 everyday. When the pump is running, the solar kicks in when the roof-mounted solar sensor temp exceeds the water temp by the START differential programmed (default 6 deg)...

Thanks for the info. Base on all the feedback I got, I will try maintaining a pH of 7.6, and see how it goes. This forum has been very helpful to a new pool owner like myself.

Thanks all for your helpful replies. My 2 gal per month was for months 7-9, after the new pool had somewhat stabilized. I'm targeting 7.4 pH to balance my high CH of 500. I do not use city water for fill, but am using softened water with a pH of 7.4. I have an automatic pool cover to limit...

Once my new pool acid demand had somewhat stabilized after 7 months, my acid demand was down to about 2 gallons a month, my routine being to add it twice a week - about a quart each time. Last month, I decided to switch my routine to adding smaller amounts of acid every day, to keep a tighter...

My new pool will be gunited next week, and I have an issue with the hydrostatic valve. The engineering detail (encl) call for a valve, similar to a Hayward SP-1056 that installs inside a main drain housing. The plumber has installed what looks like a home-made hydrostatic valve using a check...

many thanks.

Is there a minimum distance (recommended or code) for sch 40 pipe to be enclosed by shotcrete? I'm planning on using Waterway power storm gunite jets in a new integrated spa, which require 9 1/2" or 10 1/2" depth, depending on fitting used from the loop. Would I be get away with these in a 12"...

Hi, I am very new to this forum, and this is my second post (thanks JVtrain for your very helpful response to my first post). I am planning on installing a Levelor electronic autofill with a standpipe sensor near the equipment pad. I wanted some feedback regarding running a totally separate...

Hi, New to this forum. need some advice on my proposed setup. 1. Spa I am considering using a dedicated XF pump, running two separate return lines to the spa, with a 3-way valve. The idea being that 99% of the time there are 2 people max using the spa, and I can shut off the unused jets and...
