    Freeze Protection

    turned them manually. Although - I figured out the issue - the spa side was turned to return. Not sure why that is as I didn't touch the spa - maybe that actuator is going bad? Either way - I flipped the switch to turn it to the correct setting and it seems good now (I hope!). I notice that...

    hmm. When I was priming - I turned the return actuator and the waterfall actuator - but I am pretty sure I turned that back to where they were

    Freeze Protection

    Thanks! Ok - so I have a good one for you all! So I changed the speeds like I mentioned above. All of a sudden, I lost the prime to the pump. Went out - reprimed yada yada yada. However, Now - my sheer and bubblers don't seem to be firing - instead - the spillover is overflowing like crazy...

    Freeze Protection

    Hmm...I am not opposed to shutting down the sheers for the winter - but what would be involved in draining the water. Do I just shut the valve off that leads to the Sheers or is there something more involved? If more involved, I probably wouldn't try to mess with it too much.

    Freeze Protection

    @Jimrahbe I was curious what you (or anyone else) thinks about this idea. It looks like we are somewhat close to each other geographically speaking so I figure you know about our weather patterns. When it is not cold - I currently have the pool set to run from 12PM - 6PM. I set the pump at...

    Jim - quick question. I notice that you have your pool set at 1200 and your waterfall at 2700. Do you have a separate pump for the waterfall? I need to set my pump at 2500 minimum because the pump runs the pool, waterfall and sheer descents. Anything less than 2500 and the sheer descents will...

    Freeze Protection

    I think I figured it out - went to the control box - the Cleaner was set with Freeze protection on. I don't use the pressure side cleaner anymore (I went with a robot cleaner over the summer). Anyway - the cleaner was set at 3450 speed. So it looks like the freeze mode was defaulting to 3450...

    Also - I tried to "Add Program" under settings - cycling through the available circuit options, I see: Lights, Pool, Waterfall, Bubblers, Spa, Cleaner, Air Blower I don't see any option for Freeze Protection - is that something that would be on the main control panel?

    Freeze Protection

    The first pic shows the Freeze Mode is on and currently the Pool and Bubblers are on. The second pic shows that the pool is set at 3000 RPM and the Bubblers at 2300 RPM (although the bubblers would actaully be at the same RPM since it is all the same plumbing/pump). I don't see a way to add...

    I think it is the pool - The spa spillover has the normal amount of water flowing over and then my sheer descents are on - I believe all of that is associated with the main pool. Yes - I have screen logic on my computer (although not that knowledgeable about it)

    Thanks Jim - perfect! I do have a spa/pool combo - but for some reason, it is on all the time.

    Freeze Protection

    Sorry - I am being really slow today :-) So I understand now that when the air temp hits 35 degrees, the freeze control is enabled. My question is, once enabled, does the pump come on and stay on until the temp goes above 35 degrees? I am asking this because my understanding was that when...
