Sounds good. As long as I have my visual in mind as a 'baseline' for 30. The guide says to add 10 to that, do I have that part right? So we'd be at 40 ppm for CYA?
Cheers.

The problem is the J19 on the EasyTouch.

Either it is not being commanded to close or it is not closing due to a bad part on the EasyTouch board.

Check for continuity from pin to pin on J19 when the heater is commanded on (Call for Heat).

S75 MK2 and Supaskimmer:

Remove the main drain plug(s) from the main drain inlet(s) in the skimmer body .

Fit the vacuum plate to the skimmer box as before.

Plug the port in the vacuum plate with a standard 40mm (1 1/2") male threaded plug (not supplied).

SP5000: Slide to open the main drain flow adjuster .

Slide to close the vacuum plate flow adjuster .

Fit the vacuum plate to skimmer box as before.

Neither sample has any purple hue to it. So in the mid 7's.

Adding sodium thiosulfate to a pH test sample changes the pH.

The patented Hydro-Control Plate is a feature of all Baker Hydro Deluxe, Commercial and Hydro-Pak skimmer systems and is designed to easily regulate the ratio of flow between the main drain and surface skimming to provide a convenient connection point for a vacuum cleaner hose.

It did not quite look like the 'end test' photo in the guide.

Jump the Firemans Switch connection in the heater. Does the heater control panel light up when you press POOL ON? If so, the problem is in your EasyTouch. If not, the problem is in the heater.

Report what happens.

Did you replace the MasterTemp PCB with a genuine Pentair board? Show us pictures of both sides of the replacement board.

You still have your old PCB?

What is the water temperature displayed on the EasyTouch screen? Show us a picture of the screen when you turn on your Spa.

I jumped the firemans switch by removing the 2 wires on the easy touch control panel (J19) and twisting them together (twist.jpg attached). After power, the heater worked fine. Once the pump started I pressed the 'Pool On' and it started heating. I did not expect that. I powered everything off, stripped and reattached the wires to the control panel J19 then powered everything back on. Once powered, I pressed the spa button on my control panel and still no heater. I took a screen shot of the control panel (spa.jpg attached). Water temp 68, set temp 102. What should I check next?

Thanks,
Mike

Maybe this?

What happens when you disconnect the air or water temperature?

Show us pictures of the Omni board.

Test the sensors using a multimeter as described in Temperature Sensors - Further Reading

Baker Hydro Skimmer but it’s a replacement cover.

That is all fine but first isolate your problem to the MasterTemp or EasyTouch by disconnecting the heater Fireman’s Switch as described in post #3.

It does not exist.

I find the best thing is to run the spa for a while and brushing dirt in it towards the floor drains. Keep the dirt in suspension so it can be drawn into the filter.

Using the spa will churn up the dirt and let it be filtered out.

The Transformer is connected to pins 4 and 3.

Pin 3 is connected to pin 2.

Pin 2 goes to the Fireman's Switch Loop and returns on pin 1.

Test for voltage from Pin 1 to Pin 4. You should get 24 VAC if the Fireman's Loop is closed.

When you get 24 VAC from Pin 1 to Pin 4, the Heater should Boot-Up.

Normal boot-up is 888, 128, and then rX, where X is the software revision number.

Test for voltage from Pin 3 to 2, Pin 3 to Pin 1 and from Pin 2 to 1.

If Pin 3 is connected to Pin 2, you should get 0 volts from Pin 3 to Pin 2.

If the Fireman's Loop is closed, you should get 0 volts from Pin 3 to Pin1 and from Pin 2 to Pin 1.

I have 2 skimmers weir doors on the skimmers, variable speed pump, full automation.

And 2 Betta solar skimmers. I dont like anything floating in my pool. I am an overkill kind of person.

I’m going to add to add a 40lb bag to bring my salt level back up.

Depends how and where you are adding it to your pool.

NaCLTPool said:

Since I am not adding multiple bags and not starting with freshwater, is it necessary to turn off the SWG when adding?

Click to expand...

It is best practice to turn off the SWG before adding salt.

Many folks get away with adding salt with the SWG running.

Do you feel lucky today?

What happens if the SWG is running while salt is added?

Click to expand...

Maybe nothing. Maybe a high salinity slug of water goes through the cell which causes the amps to spike and damage components.

Some SWG systems electronics are more sensitive and easily damaged then others.
