Yesterday I received notification in the Hayward app that there was a firmware upgrade to v5. I don’t see any release notes on hayward’s site. Anyone know what’s new in this release?

Installed and working without issue.

Quick Update. I received alerts from the OmniLogic App stating no water flow was detected. After inspecting the equipment the pump and flow was good. Looks like the Water Flow sensor required to run the sense and dispense was intermittently failing. So when the Sense and Dispense detects No Flow...

Hi! I usually have to refill the Acid container with 3:1 Ratio of water to Acid Every 4-6 months or so.

@Davispeden below are my chlorine readings from last summer. I need to do the same for this summer which i'll try to do over the next few days. This is what you can expect assuming your CYA is 20-30ppm. My Chlorine usage peaked in July then started to decrease in August. Which makes sense since...

For me its not a chlorine feeder vs SWG argument but more of is an ORP measurement consistent enough to determine how much chlorine to dispense OR generate using an SWG? For me, at least, ORP has been a very stable measurement and keeps my chlorine within 1ppm(sometime alittle more). For others...

That’s great to hear! I know others have had challenges using similar systems with a SWG. What is your Cyanuric Acid level at? This seems to be the biggest issue issuing SWGs.

Yes, the PH and ORP probes look different. Don’t forget to clean them every 30-60 days. That’s very important for maintaining consistency with readings and longevity.

Hi there. I did look in to CO2 but because it was more inconvenient and cumbersome exchanging tanks and the amount of CO2 needed I decided not to. The biggest drawback to acid is the risk of injury which is minimized by using the sense and dispense system since it helps to reduce the amount of...

Thanks! You are correct. My setup is Alittle different than the manual describes. The system comes with wiring pigtails that wire directly to the relay and allow for the dispenser pump to plug in to. Instead I decided to install outdoor GFCI outlets in weather proof boxes with plastic conduit...

ORP was not designed to match a specific chlorine reading and instead is used to measure the potential of chlorine to oxidize water. So in theory you could have free chlorine levels of two difference pools be the same PPM level but one pool may have a higher ORP measurement because of other...

I believe the prologic you have can support the Hayward Sense & Dispense system. I believe there are soecific SWGs that are compatible as well. This is what I use and is similar to that Intellichem system referenced in previous posts Here is a link to the manual. There is a section that talks...

When using liquid Chlorine you can minimize the amount of Cyanuric Acid so that the ORP probe is more effective.

Short answer is in theory, yes. You can use a Hayward Sense & Dispense system, however, because the recommendation by many(especially on this forum) is to maintain Cyanuric Acid at high levels the ORP probe may not work the way it was designed and may provide inconsistent results. There are a...
