Interesting... I was googling the exact problem this morning and Google suggested this post for me. How ironic. So my problem is back, after they fixed it. I believe the last time the circuit board was the culprit. I'm guessing it'll be the same this time around. I guess these boards only...

I have standard double drains at the bottom of my inground pool. They are 5 years old. They are Hayward. They look like this: Kafko / Equator Skimmer Main Drain Cover | Pool Supplies Canada My Dolphin DX4 always gets stuck on the drains when passing over them, spins around a few times...

Didn't pass OCLT last night (sigh!). Lost 2 ppm overnight. I must be close though... Back to SLAMing for today...

Great minds think alike! I put a sock full of granules in the skimmer about 2 hours ago. I figured the CYA will come up as the "bad man" weakens to oblivion! ;) All of this: Gives you this:

Hi. 5ml test level. Thanks, good tip... I'm testing every hour since this morning and that will help! (Good thing I'm testing every hour because the FC is getting eaten up quick!!!) After 3-4 hours I was finally showing FC above 10ppm. I'm starting to reduce my hourly bleach addition to...

^ Yep. I have solar and SWG. Works great! Pool is at 90F all the time!

I went out this morning and FC was at near 0 again. Dumped 10L of 10.3% bleach in there. I have to say, I'm starting to get worried about this. It's not keeping any chlorine... So far, I've added at least 35L of bleach since yesterday, which, according to my math, is at least 70 ppm of FC in...

I did all this about 5-6 hours ago. I just went out to test the FC. It was showing minimal again... Weird. Has my powder gone bad? Has the 871 Reagent gone bad? So what does the engineer do? Test the test, of course! So I added a few drops of bleach to a liter of water then took 10ml in...

Okay. So I've been running my pool religiously with the philosophy from POOL SCHOOL. It's been working great for 3 years. I opened my pool early May, tested and balanced the water to within 1 hair of perfection. Set my settings on the SWG just like last year as my CYA was 60 (it was 70 last...

I called the pool store.... Still under warranty from Hayward... I guess we'll find out soon enough! The water temperature sensor, I don't mind, cheap easy fix. The SWG is a little more worrisome (if I wasn't under warranty, of course) I think I may install a surge protector on my panel after...

I just went out and swapped the water temperature sensor and the solar sensor. The error followed the sensor. What's still weird is that the SWG and "faulty" sensor are still indicating 82F. Beyond my understanding.... Thoughts?

Hey'y'all! As the title suggests, I think I may have a temperature sensor fault. My system is fully automated and has been functioning flawlessly for 3 years. The water temperature sensors were indicating what my SWG sensor was indicating within a few degrees and was always bang on my...
