    Automated valves stuck on Spa-side

    I traced the wire back to the ET and didn't see any problems along the way. I also took off the front panel of the ET and had a look; nothing obvious...

    Automated valves stuck on Spa-side

    I found that set of 4 breakers. I'm not exactly sure what "tripped" would look like, but they all 4 looked the same, and some of them are for things that are definitely working (like InteliChlor). So, I guess is isn't the valve breaker...

    Automated valves stuck on Spa-side

    I forgot those switches existed! Haha @Dirk yes I've been there too and yes I did have a heck of a time getting things back to normal. I tried toggling them. They're 3-way, so I tried all 3 positions. Nothing happened when I changed them... To either valve... I thought I remembered them...

    Automated valves stuck on Spa-side

    We rarely use our spa these days, primarily because the heater is broken and we're not willing to pay to fix it at this time. However, yesterday we had some family over and they wanted to experience the jets, so I turned the spa on for them. Today, the pool is stuck running on spa-side-only...

    Why does Pool School recommend TA 60-80 in "Water Balance for SWGs" ?

    Well, my pH seems to be always in flux. I've owned this pool (my first pool) for 4 months now and it feels like I'm always having to add acid. (Yesterday was the first time I ever adjusted TA.) So, my pH definitely will rise enough to put CSI in a good range, but then it'll very soon after...

    Why does Pool School recommend TA 60-80 in "Water Balance for SWGs" ?

    https://www.troublefreepool.com/content/138-water-balance-for-swg-saltwater-chlorine-generator There's no explanation there of why the 60-80 range is recommended. My SWG manual suggests 80-120. I'd like to increase my Calcite Saturation Index (currently at -0.41), and increasing my TA seems...

    Oversalted. Baby switched my scale from lbs to kg while I wasn't looking. Problem?

    Thanks for taking the time to look that up. Interestingly, in my manual (which I received from the sellers when I bought this house in June), it says 3000-4500 (idea 3400). I wonder if they changed their recommendation over time or what. Also in my manual it said, "High salt concentration...

    Oversalted. Baby switched my scale from lbs to kg while I wasn't looking. Problem?

    I was weighing salt to add to my pool last night and after a few batches of measurements I noticed that the scale was set to kilograms rather than pounds. I know the first addition was in pounds, and I know my toddler was playing near there when I stepped away to dump the salt in the pool, and...

    Trying to run pump 24/7, keep finding it shut off in the morning, not sure why

    Thank you for the response. I'm trying to run it at the same speed. I don't see any "egg timer" settings in my remote, but I was just wondering late last night if there's some default run time for manual mode. Maybe I have a different EasyTouch version than you? My Menu, Diagnostics...

    Trying to run pump 24/7, keep finding it shut off in the morning, not sure why

    Title pretty much says it all. I'm SLAMming, and trying to follow the recommendation to pump 24/7. After the first night, I thought maybe it was the fault of an errant Schedule in my EasyTouch controller system, so I went in the remote and deleted all of the Schedules, but after the second...

    Post-hurricane SLAM: low CYA, can't pump 24/7, too little chlorine?

    Thank you for the quick and helpful reply. I did balance my pH before starting, but only to 7.6, and I see now that's outside the bounds of the SLAM guide. I will carry on. Thanks again
