Same here with a failed check valve. I rebuilt the valve and it stopped leaking, but then 1 year later it was leaking again. This time I just took it apart and cleaned everything and lightly Magic Lubed the seal. So far so good and it's been leak free for 6-8 months.

I've had good pretty good luck with my Betta SE Plus but not with their warranty repair and replacement service. A few months ago I sent mine back to repair a LED that was out and for noisy gearing. My robot was repaired and returned but they broke one of the corner guide wheel bumper assemblies...

Thanks for the replies. @mknauss, thanks for looking into this and pointing out the Wiki! Moving the ScreenLogic wireless link to a new location solved the problem. I don't know for certain why after 4 years I had to relocate it but I'm thinking the new router caused additional interference...

Thanks, but nothing's been moved and it's worked for 4 years.

My ScreenLogic stopped working today. Sometimes the app shows the normal screen but with no values such as temperature and doesn't control anything. I'm unable to login to Configure ScreenLogic from my locally connected PC. Maybe a coincidence but my router was replaced today but all network...

Thanks Matt. If the ducks return my next step will be to try Oil-Out or Skill-It.

Thanks ajw22. The pair of ducks would come by every morning around 7:30am. I set up the bubblers and waterfall to run in that window of time. After that I saw the ducks were hesitant and did not go in the choppy water. I think they like it nice and calm. I've followed that up with a large swan...

We're having a problem with a pair of ducks that have enjoyed swimming and pooping in our pool since late last week. No ducklings yet. I've tried scaring them away when I can catch them but that hasn't helped. I've just started using a large inflatable alligator yesterday and based on this...

I've had my 614iq for about 1 year and no problems but I always use just the floor mode. I hope their product support has improved over time as I initially had a very difficult time reaching anyone. Have you tried talking with one of their authorized repair centers?

Thanks vegasbeep. Your symptoms sounds a lot like mine but I don't have a problem with the skimmers sucking air. Last Sunday I added calcium to the pool and ran the pump at full speed for about 25 minutes. Surprisingly, the flow rate held steady after that for nearly 2 days. Early this morning...

Interesting data concerning flow and operation range. Thanks!

I'm still seeing flow fluctuations with no obvious reason for why flow decreases, increases, decreases and continues this cycle. I've back washed and checked and cleaned pump basket and skimmers. Pentair IC60 is still removed from winter. Here's an example of the fluctuations I've recently seen...

Thanks JamesW. That's interesting that flow is calculated. Good video too.

Thanks Jim. So would you say the fluctuations I'm seeing are normal operation as the filter gets dirty?

I have my ScreenLogic app set to rpm for my Intelliflo VSP. I usually have the pump rpm set to provide about 25 gpm. Over the last year the flow rate sometimes drops 1-3 gpm within a few days after setting it. Other times it doesn't change for a much longer time. When the flow drops I'll...
