Hi. I have OmniLogic….my rep put it in omnidirect mode last year so I could adjust brightness but it didn’t work because I needed upgraded lights. So he put it back in regular mode. I now installed the upgraded lights, can you help me get it back in omnidirectional so I have all the new colors...

Why do they say you have to run cartridge filters slow to allow filtration?

My EC65 DE filter has had leaks repaired many times in 2 years so I need to replace. My pool is 17,500 gallons and I have a Hayward VSP 1.65 HP. I love running it at 3450 rpm- I like the water movement and clean water. I wanted to get a cartridge filter. I think my DE filter at 27 ft is...

I have not during this process. I have in the past. Can you educate me why it’s wrong? I just found this site

I have a box of it because I bought it when I bought the frog system because that is ideal ti shock with when keeping chlorine and cya low. It oxidizes and is supposed to free up chlorine. Or is that wrong?

Just wondering if this granular shock would do the same thing better, since it’s straight chlorine. It had nothing to do w pool store vs you, it has to do with storage and cost
