Heater starts for 2-3 seconds, I can see the flames, then the heater shuts off. If I cycle thru the standby/spa/pool settings then I can get it working for 15-20 seconds max. Orifices are clean. I measured 22V on the valve. My heater doesn't have flame sensor (I wasn't able to find it). Any ideas?

I've got an older Aqua Trol system. I used it fine last season. This year when I power it on, I'm getting a power light and the No Flow light. This is the Return Jet (RJ) model, so it isn't supposed to have a flow sensor, so I'm not sure what would send the no flow signal anyway. For what it's...

Hayward's site says that they have Google Assistant / Google Home Support? See here: Better Automation However, when I search in my Google Home App, I see no option to link Hayward or Omni. Does anyone know if/how Hayward and Google home can connect? And if so, what voice commands work?

Hi all, I received an alert on my Hayward OmniHub app last night that a new firmware update is available. I've been running the latest firmware R4.8.1 since installing the OmniHub controller last Summer. The new firmware version number was not listed on the app or Hayward's Firmware website...

Hi folks, long-time listener, first time caller here. I'm looking for opinions / thoughts on Poolside Tech's pool automation system called The Attendant. From what I've read, it has an edge on other automation systems like Hayward, Pentair, and Jandy - a main point being that they can work with...

The gasket/o-ring for the sight glass has dried up, so the seal isn’t there. Would a hose washer work as a replacement? I’m trying to save myself a long trip to the pool store.

Hi! I just wanted to get some help for desoldering the thermistor from the AquaRite main PCB, and I am wondering if anyone had experience with it? The solder joint on the board refused to melt no matter what solder tip/temperature I used. But it was all good when I tested it with my solder...

Hello TFP community! Found this fantastic resource as we navigate the surprises coming with our inground pool. We’ve learned a lot this past week trying to get it up and running. Looking for TFP insights on some of what we’ve discovered: - Black Algae Swamp - Hayward Super Pump 1HP (Makes...

Hello everyone, We live in New Jersey. Pool was closed last winter and working fine at the time. Pool was opened yesterday and when we started the pump the impeller would not spin and the pump would overheat and click off. - Capacitor was tested and was not the problem. - Checked the impeller...

Opened my pool today, and the filter was at the usual 5 psi / 116 gpm. After a few hours it jumped to 25psi and down to 60gpm. I cleaned the filter and it went all back to normal numbers again. Within 30 minutes the psi spiked back up and gpm dropped once again! The pool is cloudy, don’t know if...

Hello my new pool is all of a sudden showing that the water temp is 120-130 degrees F. The pump seems to be running fine and there are no errors within the panel, app, or SWG. The actual water temp is around 60-65 degrees. I reached out to the PB but its late and they won't respond until...

Hello, thank you in advance for looking at my thread and trying to assist with sorting it out. I have a Hayward system with an OmniPL automation box, two Hayward Tristar VSP 950 pumps (One for filter, one for waterfall), and various other Hayward devices (lights via low high voltage to low...

Hi, This maybe a jump in the deep end, but I am looking for help on reverse engineering the R485 protocol on the Hayward Inverter 81504 heatpump. It is also sold under the brand Powerline by Hayward, and also different power versions (81514, 81524, 81534, 81544) sharing the same electroncis. I...

Hi everyone, While I'm a bit of a newb for this forum I do have years of software development experience as well as about 5 years of on/off experience with Raspberry Pi. I'm really trying to accomplish 2 things and they are somewhat related. My overall large goal is to get as much pool...

Hello. I have a Hayward Blue Essence SWG. I have the setting at 10%. But I am confused on what reading on the screen shows my actual chlorine level. When I get my water tested they show I am at 10ppm. The manual doesn’t seem to show how to read it. (You must hit the button to cycle through...

Hi there, I’ve been having a peculiar problem with my US Motors variable speed pool pump. Everything works just fine including accuracy of the time, however, once every 30 days (exactly to the day) I wake up to the pump display with a scrambled day of the week and time, it’s usually off by a...

Hi! This might be out of the scope of this forum but I thought I’d ask. I’m trying to emulate the signal from from the Hayward Spa-side remote (GLX-SS-RF) but I cannot find any documentation on the output from the device! It has to be sub-GHz as I found the base receiver (Hayward GLX-BASE-RF)...

Hi, I'm a newbie. This is my first time asking for help but not visiting this great website. I was told that my pool pump needs replacing (it leaks). Current equipment is: Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas .75HP MPRA6D-146L but it has been discontinued. We have a 16yr old, Roman shaped, fiberglass, in-ground...

Long time lurker first time poster... 2 year old IG plaster pool and thanks to this site I've had good success with liquid chlorine. I'm finally tired of adding the LC and was debating adding a Stenner pump but believe I have decided to go the SWG route. My pool was built with a Hayward...

I noticed my pool this morning was starting turn green after being away on vacation. Checked the Hayward OmniLogic screen and my average salt reading is 65,486ppm and instant 65,475ppm (obviously both in accurate). My question is has anyone had this happen? If so did it indicate a bad cell or...

My Hayward 3/4 hp pump just died and I was gifted a 1hp Hayward. Can/should I do it or will it wreak havoc with my system? I have a 28,000 gallon pool. I don’t have the money to upgrade to a vs pump at this point btw.

I am looking to replace my single speed Super II pump with a variable speed pump. I am considering the TriStar VS 900 which has a 1.85HP motor. I am trying to understand how easy/expensive this pump would be to service down the road. The parts diagram from Hayward lists a motor (part...

Considering purchase of a TriStar VS 900 model W3SP3202VSP. As I understand it, this is the version that is NOT a part of their expert line (the expert line version is SP32900VSP). I am trying to understand what the warranty would be for this pump if I install it myself. Leslie's...

Hi guys, My pool heater was giving an IF error earlier this season after firing and then shutting down multiple times. I replaced the flame sensor and this seemed to fix things. A little later in the season, it wouldn’t fire at all, so I replaced the Ignitor and she started working again. It...

I have had this heat pump (HP21404T) working very well for over 2 years - suddenly starting tripping shortly after turning on, anywhere between 5-45 seconds, usually short. My pool guys are swamped - 1 - attached photos 2 - electrician who originally installed came by, lines, power readings...

Hi folks. My Hayward SP3400VSP runs constantly on the following schedule programmed by previous owners: 10:30P-9:30A: 1500 rpm (low flow overnight) 9:30A-10:30P: 2900 rpm (normal flow for daytime) This seems to work fine. Good circulation in the day, and enough flow overnight to keep the pump...

Hi, We are having our fiberglass pool resurfaced currently, and it makes sense to replace our pool light whilst we are at is, as it's clearly pretty old. The light is a SP540 300w and I know those aren't sold anymore as any new light has to be LED. I called Hayward support and they weren't...

I have a Hayward heater (not sure what model, but has 5-6 burners). The original setup linked to iAquaLink was done by the previous owner. Everything worked find controlling the system until I had to clean out a burner line due to a spider web in the first burner’s “pipe.” Thereafter...

New homeowner, in-ground pool included. Built in 2004, approximately 20,000 gallons, plaster finish. There are two pumps: Hayward Super 2 (single speed 2.2 HP) - This unit runs the main filter Hayward Super 2 (single speed 0.75HP) - This unit runs the water feature (the water feature is...

Hi there! I just bought a house that has an above ground salt water pool and I have idea where to begin!! I've found youtube videos to set up the pump, filter, etc but unsure how to clean this mess up. I've skimmed out large debris and I think my next step is vacuum to waste then shock? Is this...
