Thanks for the responses, this is what I thought, I just tried it 4 times and no dice. My 3 weekly led's flash green, but the power button does not light up. I unplug and plug back in and nothing each time, even if after holding the weekly button for over 10 seconds (every time the 1,2,3 led's...

So based on the reviews here I decided to go with the pentair warrior. Well there was a $50 rebate so I went with the SI for the fancy features and I now think that was a bit of a mistake. One the app seems pretty awful, and two, I seem to be lacking automation mode. If I press and hold the...

I got my $50 rebate for my pentair warrior SI after only about 3 weeks, it was surprisingly fast and easy to fill out. I got mine from Margaret at Marine pools.

I just tried this with tap water and its 50 where I cannot see it anymore, so if temp and FC don't matter that means I'm truly at 100 CYA. Bummer but not the end of the world especially with the SWG. Today will be a perfect day to have the solar cover on though. Thanks for the help. We have...

Thats what I was afraid of but thought might be the case. But happy to hear I can cover and even swim if I want to. Thanks so much for the info. I forgot about the dilute test, I will have to pick up some distilled water.

oops yes, I meant FC, my CC is 0

Hey all, I thought I had everything figured out after 3 years of pool ownership starting from BBB method and converting to a SWG. However this year I'm a bit perplexed by my numbers. I have a 24k or 27k inground with vinyl that I converted to SWG last year (and am super happy). It is just a...

Ah Dang that would be nice, I ended up replacing it at the PS. Was gonna move to VS, but it was $200 for a replacement vs 900 for the VS, and I needed to get my pool ready and SWG hooked up before I head out for work next week.

Well luckily I found a shop in town that had a capacitor in stock. Unlukicly i got it back together, and it ran, but smoke is pouring out the housing. Any thought here? Does this pump even have a running capacitor?

One additional question, does anyone know if I could mate a VSP up to the existing pump components? Are they universal on haywards, and could I still potentially qualify for a rebate as our electric company is giving $200.

Hello all, When opening my pool, I forgot to put the basket back in the pump. I was in a hurry because I wanted to get started and get my new Jandy TruClear installed (Which I hope is enough for my pool). I have a Hayward 1hp Superpump (model c48k2n143). I was doing ok, started adding DE...

Wow great replies, Thanks everyone. I knew there was an issue with the powdered chlorine, it was the hypochloride they were selling. I will try to get some more granular cya to bring it up, I thought I had some but do not. I also did not realize the pucks were only 1.2ppm, I was thinking...
