JamesW, THANK YOU! Finally got around to trying this and that did the trick. Issue is resolved.

[NOT SOLVED] Doesn't work again. Pulled the cable through the conduit. It's buried for about 5'. No other changes. I'm baffled. Anyone have any ideas? JamesW, drain wire is a bare wire within shielded cable that is typically connected to ground to provide grounding to the shield. The...

[SOLVED] I had the dreaded 'STALL' on the main filter pump so ordered a new drive for it. The new drive had an insert for "Connecting Pump to Hayward Automation" in the box that did not accompany either of my Ecostar pumps (2017 and 2019) or the Omnilogic panel (2017) when originally received...

I still don't have this working. The 2nd Ecostar for the water features I installed in 2020 has never worked right. I did alter the cable to cat5 as suggested and that only introduced more difficulty. The 2nd pump would actually work using the sprinkler cable, as long as it was the only pump...

The only thing I can think of is the cable. It's a 125ft between the OmniLogic panel and the new Ecostar pump. I didn't use shielded cable. I used multi-conductor sprinkler cable carrying the 6 conductors for the two valve actuators and the 2 conductors for the BUS connection to the Ecostar...

Hello all, I just completed a project installing a second Ecostar pump and two Jandy valves with actuators to two waterfalls. I have the new pump and actuators wired to my OmniLogic panel. With the new Ecostar pump connected to the OmniLogic, it doesn't see the HUA for either pump. Stealing...

Hello Everyone, One more question. Referring to the image in my original post, the suction lines from the pool are 2-1/2". The 90s reduce to 2" before the existing pumps. The question, is it better to keep it 2-1/2" all the way to the pump or is it okay to keep the 2" from the existing 90s...

Got it. I didn't think about the unused line going stagnant. Thanks for the replies!

Hello, My pool has two waterfalls on two pumps that are separate from the main filter pump. Each waterfall is on a dedicated 1.5hp single speed pump. Each pump is fed by two suction ports (why are there two? Is one a backup? I assume they are plumbed together underground before the pump.)...
