i will say i typed in the CC wrong. that is .5We have suggested that you lower your CYA.
At high CYA you cannot maintain enough FC to sanitize your water.
Your high chlorine loss and CC of 1.5, you need to SLAM. Link-->SLAM Process
It will be VERY difficult and Very expensive to SLAM with CYA of 90.
I would replace 30% of your water, then follow the SLAM process.

Hey there! We just got our cell and flow switch installed on our plumbing (scary!) and now we've got the control module mounted up and are trying to get it wired to power. We have a Jandy variable speed pump and want to ensure that the unit only runs when the pump is on (double failsafe). The problem is that we can't seem to get power to the unit. We use iAquaLink automation systems and the pump is controlled digitally. We traced the wires from the top of the box labeled "filter pump" and connected the wires to the load side of the relay that they lead to, but nothing happened. We checked the fuses and all the connections and even brought it inside and switched it over to 120v, attached a household plug and were able to get power to the unit to test that it's operational. We also hooked it up to "aux 2" which controls the blower and heater and were able to get power there. But it simply will not work when connected to the pump relay (and the pump is running!).

It needs to be schedule 40, or dual rated (sched 40 / DWV AND needs to be pressure rated).
That pipe qualifies. Yes.

As far as pipe, do I just go to Home Depot and get anything that says Schedule 40 on it and 2.5" diameter? For example this (this has the wrong diameter):
Charlotte Pipe 2 in. x 10 ft. White Schedule 40 PVC Pipe Solid Core PVC 07200 0600 - The Home Depot
Get the Charlotte Pipe 2 in x 10 ft. PVC Sch. 40 DWV Pipe PVC 07200 0600, for non-pressurized systems can be used in irrigation, underground sprinkler systems, swimming pools, outdoor applications and

>> Spigot is to drain some water from the pool. Hook up a hose and open it. However you have a waste line on the MPV.
Do you think there's a point to installing the spigot in the new setup, given I can just use waste setting on the filter valve?
>> You can cut the pvc input to the pump right at the diverter
By diverter do you mean the black 3-way valve (Jandy valve)?
>> then use a "socket saver" (google/youtube search) to cut the remaining pipe out of the diverter
Yes, that would indeed be the ideal solution. How easy is it to screw this up? Are there any other tools/materials I should get to make extracting the old pipe from the 'diverter' easier?
>> Get new high temp unions for the pump
The pump came with the following hardware (2 sets of 2.5" and 3.0" couplings). Should I use this, or should I be getting something else?
