To revive an old thread, I'm considering only running on low speed 24 hours/day. My only concern is the chlorinator water flow is so minimal if any on low speed due to the pressure I'm assuming. Is there a way to increase water pressure to chlorinators? At first build, the valve was on the...

As a followup, all of the troubleshooting lead to the communications wire or the board itself. I decided to check voltages on the relays and was only getting 120v. I checked the breaker and only got 120v there as well. It ended up being a bad breaker causing the Comm error only proviidng 120v...

I installed a home automation with Shelly Relays and use Home Assistant for the automations, etc. I’ve only found I believe 4 threads related to this but surely others have accomplished this successfully? Anybody have any info integrating OnCommand with Home Assistant for home automations? I...

Thanks, I finally realized I had to change it from manual on/off before I could create a timer for it.

We have the Hayward OnCommand and Hayward VS pump. We started getting a communications error & I could not get it resolved quick enough before being gone from home so I moved my water feature pump (non-variable speed) to the pool filter & chlorinator to turn the water over. Is there a way to...

After rinsing, soaking in muriatic acid & clear aid, rinsing, soaking in TSP granule mixture & rinsing; I believe we got 99% of it gone. It was a very long process. We cleaned inside of filter, pump, and scrubbed the tile. Still have some pig mats in spa overflow to catch any residue. I...

FYI: there are neutralizing solutions to break down other chemicals to reuse containers. We use the same on the farm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't start with me! :) I've heard that. When I bought the jugs, there were no diesel jugs, just Kerosine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The sad part was, the red gas jug was labeled diesel with magic marker all over the place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do have a small container of TSP from when I refinished our cabinets. It was suggested to remove grease from them, which makes sense for this case as well. Should I soak them in the TSP or spray on as a mixed solution? In all honesty I haven't checked chemicals since this happened...

Any ideas how to rid a pool system of about 2 quarts of diesel? At this point, I have put a few gallons of Clear Aid over the past few days that's supposed to help remove oils. We no longer see an oil film on top of the water. I've turned water on to the pool to let it overflow out my drain...

Yes I understand that part. Had you not responded I probably would have put a tee behind the pump with ball valve and had problems. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk flingin arras

Yes, we do have a spa. That valve on the left controls the spa/pool. I'll have to see if I can fit a valve under the chlorinator. Thanks for the help. I would have cut it in right behind the pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk flingin arras

So it would need to be after the filter but before the heater? Put a tee, or 3-way valve just to the left of that elbow coming out of the filter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk flingin arras
