    Pool and spa cycling on and off unexpectedly

    I'm coming back here to say thank you, ajw22, this was the correct answer and fixed my problem! For anyone else who has a similar issue, this is what the setting looks like in the Screenlogic app: Thanks again.

    Pool and spa cycling on and off unexpectedly

    Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I was having trouble with my temperature sensor over the summer so maybe it thinks it is freezing (it's definitely not). I'll see if I can get the air and water tmp sensors to calibrate, otherwise it might be time to call in a professional. I really appreciate...

    Pool and spa cycling on and off unexpectedly

    Good morning! None of my pool equipment is set to run between 10 PM and 9 AM. The last two nights, the pool and spa have been cycling on and off between midnight and 7 AM. Here are screenshots of the history on my Pentair app from yesterday morning and this morning: I realized yesterday that...

    How to plumb water softener into my autofill line

    I purchased an On the Go "Double Standard" water softener to top up my pool with softened water as needed. This softener has been discussed in several forum posts (e.g., RV water softener for auto-fill line) I would now like to plumb this softener into the autofill line at my equipment pad, so...

    How to clean up my spillover, including a small leak?

    Sorry for the delayed response, I missed your post when you wrote it. I'm familiar with what you are explaining and followed your advice. I actually had it set up that way last winter when I was less worried about constant chlorination. What you refer to as the "spa makeup line" is labeled as...

    How to clean up my spillover, including a small leak?

    Thanks for responding! What did you use to clean off the efflorescence? To answer your questions: At the moment, the spillover runs whenever the pump is running, so 8 hours per day right now. That's my typical setup for summer to make sure everything is getting chlorinated when the pool might be...

    How to clean up my spillover, including a small leak?

    Bear with me, this is a question with a few parts. I understand that the "proper" solution to some of those parts might be to rip something out and start again. While I respect that opinion, that's not feasible for me at the moment, so I would appreciate other options, even if they are not...

    Course of action for hard water? Reverse osmosis? Water Softener? Both?

    That's a very good point. I'll make sure we agree on target levels in advance and that I test them for myself before they leave.

    Course of action for hard water? Reverse osmosis? Water Softener? Both?

    Thanks for the input. I was aware of the loss during RO, but that's definitely important to know to avoid future disappointment. One of the RO vendors I spoke to did a pretty thorough job explaining the process. She also confirmed that they pull the makeup water from my home supply and treat...

    Course of action for hard water? Reverse osmosis? Water Softener? Both?

    Thanks for the input and the links. The On-the-Go softener looks great and is pretty reasonably priced. I'm leaning toward a whole-house softener but it's great to have an affordable recommendation in case I decide to just treat the autofill line.
