New installation - Low pressure from spa jets & heater issue

Does the heater run continuously to the setpoint now?

Were the gas pressures checked with a manometer with the heater operating after the new gas meter was installed?
Plumber was able to get the whistling to stop the reading was 0.25 after the flame kicked on so he adjusted the gas valve on the heater. Now we have these readings but he said we should contact Pentair.

Without heater running
⁃ 7.5-8 standing WC

With heater running
⁃ 6.2 - 6.5

Heater gas valve on pool side
⁃ Without ignition 4.12
⁃ With ignition 2.5 - 2.9

Pump Sound Help

I have a salt water pool and solar heater for it. I have owned this house/been a pool owner for about a year. A few weeks ago I asked the guys who do the pool chemicals to check the pump to make sure everything was okay because I noticed the skimmer lid would surge with water and lift up daily (happened for a few days straight).

They came out the next day and said the pool needed a little more water (the level was half way up the skimmer flap at that point but I added more). And now today the pump is making this sound about 2 weeks later. It has never been this loud before. And the skimmer lid still surges with water daily. Is this sound normal/any advice? Thanks!

Cartridge Filter PSI is not stable

Yes, when I viewed viewed the 3.5 and 4.0 three weeks to a month ago, followed by your SWG adjustment entry's coupled with cya at 40 its struck me as too low and not enough CL . Yes I entered your adjustment #, my bad. Good luck. Pete
Yep you're right, I do remember that. I let the numbers slip for a month or so, but got it back up where it needs to be. Thanks for checking!

White water mold and Iron

So I've always only maintained
Welcome to TFP.

You are using the wrong methods to get an algae free and iron free pool.

Our SLAM Process using your own test kit is how you get your pool algae free.



The Ascorbic Acid Treatment - Further Reading is how you lift iron off pool surfaces.

One you get the iron in solution you either need to drain the pool and replace it with iron free water or continuously use a Sequestrant - Further Reading to keep the iron in solution.

Do you know where the iron in your pool came from?

I've always only maintained balanced chlorine for years with no issues at all until this year. After adding four 1lb bags of shock to the pool, the steps turned brown. I know for a fact it's from over shocking because it's the second time it's happened and it's the only thing we did to the pool yesterday. The water was crystal clear but the white mold was everywhere, so the only way I knew to get rid of it was super shocking. I've never seen or experienced white mold. I'm sure in dis something wrong. But now it seems that I'm in a cycle. Brown steps means I have to use pool magnet plus and sparkle up but in order to use those correctly, the filter has to be off. I'm not sure what in the world caused the white mold unless it's from having the filter off. Now I'm back at square one.

New member, OLD pool, filters are rotting out, need advice on new filters

If my math is correct, this filter handles 268GPM, 385,920 per day. We run this pump 24/7, so could we possibly get by with running one filter this size?

This shows that you can have a 5 hp or 3 hp depending on the frequency.

At 50 HZ the RPM is 2,920 vs. 3,500 RPM, so this might account for the lower performance.

Check the pump RPM.

Check the Frequency.

Check the amperage on each leg of power.

What voltage is being supplied?

Maybe the rotation is backwards.

Make sure that the rotation is correct.

AquaRite S3 Salt Reading Way High

I have the same system and mine read high with the "high salt alarm" from the time it was new until it was used for about 5 months. I knew my salt level was fine and searched the internet for reasons and even called Hayward (waste of time), but never found anything. It was working just fine producing chlorine so I gave up and let it go. Just within the last week or so it started reading more accurately to what I was getting through my testing, but still a little high.

This is helpful to hear. So essentially keep testing and if those numbers look good, don’t stress as much about the screen?
Welcome to TFP.

There is no calibration on Hayward SWG systems. Salinity is based on the volts and amps of new cells.

Check that the cell type is set correctly.

Show us the diagnostic information displayed.

Appreciate this literature! I am out of town until Monday but will get a picture as soon as I return.

This is your filter pump relay...

1748027524327.png

  • Screw 1 - LINE hot wires
    • Black wire from CB
    • Black wire from EasyTouch transformer
  • Screw 2 - LOAD switched wires
    • Black wire from pump
    • White wire from SWG transformer
  • Screw 3
    • Red wire from CB
    • Yellow wire from EasyTouch transformer
  • Screw 4
    • Red wire from pump
    • Yellow wire from SWG transformer

The black and red wires from the pump need to be moved from 2 to 1 and 4 to 3.

However you can only have two wires under one screw.

Thus you need to use wire nuts or WAGO connectors to connect the three wires together with a pig tail and then connect the pigtails to screws 1 and 3.

Coping discoloration

Pale yellow pool coping shows lots of dark spots when it becomes wet.

I've tried scrubbing withbchlorine andnmuriatic acid, nothing seems to touch it. Not even a pressure washer. Pool is in the sun almost all day, I can't image how it got stained so bad if it's some sort of algae with as much UV as it gets. It's not all the coping, more around the spill over spa. Pool is four years old. You can clearly see the change when it becomes wet vs. dry. Any ideas?
