I have the A30i. The tangle free cord is a gimmick as it still tangles. I can completely untangle it and within one cleaning cycle it tangles up. I have had it almost 3 years now. In the first year a power supply went bad. Maytronics sent me a new one. Recently whole thing stopped working...

I just took my controller apart as it was exposed to water. There is NO gasket whatsoever on my unit (less than a year old). The way it is designed it sure looks like there is supposed to be a gasket inside. They could have easily made this more water proof with a 25 cent rubber gasket.

I have run my heater with Ecostar pump on full speed, and I haven't seen a bypass problem. I am also running a 500k BTU heater. I am no scientist, but I have to think there is some optimum speed where one achieves max efficiency of the heater and the motor. @chem geek has a good discussion...

Found another ARTICLE that says the faster speed is better. This article deals with solar, but the theory should be similar.

Are there any conclusive studies that have been done with regards to optimum speed to run a variable speed pump when trying to heat a pool or spa? If you know of any please post the link. Slower water through the heater should achieve a higher delta. However, I have no idea if that increase...

Thank you

I found this article / press release. Does a web configurator exist for the Omnilogic.

MaxSmart, How much solar panels do you have? Those are some serious temps you are getting.

I've had an omnilogic for a while. I installed everything, then the local Hayward rep came out and programmed it. I am decent with electronics and tech, but I have always found the omnilogic to be not very intuitive. The intial programming has been fine, until now I want to edit something...

Thank you Jim R., Cleaned out the impeller a strip from a palm branch was wreaking havoc. Looks like its working now. After an hour most of the leaves have been sucked up.

Do some searches on here about the Aquavac 500 before you pull the trigger on a Hayward.

I tried calling numerous Hayward Authorized Service Centers, NONE of them work on the Aquavac 500. So I was stuck going back to the original location which was 60 miles away in Los Angeles traffic (that means 90 minutes to 2.25 hours each way). I simply didn't have the time to go back and...

I can't say any other product is better than Hayward, as I haven't the experience, but I would not use Hayward if I were building another pool. I built a pool with all Hayward Equipment about 5 yrs ago. The Omnilogic was fairly new to the market at the time. Every item I used was their top of...

A few weeks ago I purchased a Dolphin 30i. On Friday I put it in the pool. I hvae run it through at least 8 cycles since Friday. I have tried Regular, Floor only, and Ultra Clean modes. I watch it for a few minutes and it moves around the pool. I count about 15 quarter to dollar sized...

I am going to replace my T Cell 15 with a T Cell 940. This will be the first replacement since pool was built. What procedure needs to be followed with the Omnilogic? How will it know it is a new unit, does it need to know? Thank you
