I think you saw my original post: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/new-acid-pump-ph-controller.220290/#post-1928914 I now replace the pump peristaltic tubing annually. That functions as a check valve and when it gets too stretched out, acid can go into the pool. You'll know because the...

No real differences, and to be honest after a while using 3.0 now, it is not that big of a deal. It should really be called V2.1 actually. Maybe it is 20% quicker on initial connection, but if the app goes to sleep it takes longer to connect via the web interface...which is the only way to...

I am pumping acid, but I never get any bubbles in the line. The good thing about this pump is that its design, makes it a defacto type of check valve with the roller squeezing the tube closed... so there might be a leak before the pump. let us know how it goes...

I have to comment that my experience is completely opposite. I've had my BL101 dosing acid since late 2020 with very few issues. The peristaltic pump uses tubes and rollers that are wear items as indicated by Hanna. I replace mine yearly and add a drop of silicone to the tube. Mine has never...

Heh. O/B!! a fools errand....until you save 45%! Thanks for taking longer than me! I'm going to point at your build as "see honey....it could have taken longer!" On the finishes, its been a few years, but I used a "mini" pebble by Stonescapes IIRC. It is really nice and smooth. I was in my...

I just bought 4 new Bluesquare Nicheless replacements for my pool. I ordered them thru www.Epoolsupply.com, that is who Bluesquare recommended I use to buy my infloor parts as well. They were special order and used the contact form on the website.

I've seen several threads about the old style Jandy Nichless watercolors LED lights failing early and they are now discontinued with a replacement that (hopefully) does not leak. I just installed 4 new BlueSquare Spectrum 360 LED to replace the Jandy's. They are a direct replacement and screw...

Are you already on iAqualink 2.0? if not, then I think you should just pay them to upgrade/install your automation unless you are really handy and can program the points. If you are on iAqualink 2.0 then you just change the antenna module shown above and all your programming carries over. You...

Yep, easy peasy and plugs right in. I have more thoughts though now that ive used it a while..... The cr@ppy Jandy app is really the problem. If I stay logged on the the web interface via the app and my phone times out because I set it down or forget I have the app open and I want to jump back...

Cool. I just did annual maintenance on it with a new feed tube, injector foot and replaced both the 1/4" lines (in and out). I has been working perfect. My Ph has been locked in at 7.45 since installation!

Update: I ordered the iAqualink 3.0 Network Interface Module via the link above and installed it this weekend (replacing the 2.0 NIM). It is certainly much faster and stable. The old 2.0 system frequently took 15 or up to 20 seconds to connect the 3.0 does not take 5 or 6 seconds and re...
