    Wifi options for Aqua Plus panel?

    I bought that unit. It works fine, but can be slow on the app. It's very basic. It pretty much just mirror's the scrolling screen on the prologic unit, but has switch buttons to control on/off functions. I just wanted to be able to turn stuff on/off while I am away from home (like turning on...

    Hayward Tristar VS 950 VSP, 2.7HP

    Actually, I believe both my pump and heater are on the same breaker on the Prologic panel... but I'll have to double check. I'm not upset about the short. Things happen, especially with so many working parts during a new pool install. As long as it's fixed I'm all good.

    New pool build - Next question, need help on Hayward automation options

    We just finished our pool in October and had the Prologic with aquapod installed. When I discussed upgrading to the Omnilogic, it was sort of dismissed by my builder saying it was "overkill" for my project. I wish I would have persisted. I have since hooked up the Aquaconnect for smartphone...

    Hayward Tristar VS 950 VSP, 2.7HP

    I have that pump for our new pool finished in October. It's been great, but last weekend it shut off while changing from Spa back to Pool mode on our Prologic. A tech came out (under warranty) and found a short at the terminal where the hot wire enters the pump. He said its a common failure if...

    New Pool Finished Thursday!

    Following up with this morning's test results. FC - 9.5 pH - 7.8 TA - 100 CH - 225 CYA - 70 CSI - -0.01 Temp - 70 I was able to take a more accurate CYA test reading yesterday after work with the sun out so that accounts for the lower CYA.

    New Pool Finished Thursday!

    Thank you for your help. It doesn't get too cold here in Long Beach, so I'll have to see how low my water temp goes. Thanks again!

    New Pool Finished Thursday!

    Who knows? They did it while I was at work. I'd like to start off right... maybe I'll hold off for a bit. 90 isn't too far off for SWG according to Pool Math. Would it be ok to just keep an eye on it with higher FC for the next 30 days until I can use my SWG? Edit: Truthfully, the CYA test WAS...

    New Pool Finished Thursday!

    Thank you so much for the reply mknauss. I always appreciate reading your posts. So from here, I'll need to raise my FC by adding some more bleach this evening, but try to keep it just under 10 in order to keep valid pH tests. Am I stuck draining water in order to get my CYA down?

    New Pool Finished Thursday!

    First, thank for all of those who post regularly. I haven't had to post any questions of my own because the answers are already here on TFP. Our build began Aug 1st, the pool was filled Monday after Sunday's Mini Pebble, and the final equipment connections were made Thursday. My initial water...

    Big Green Egg or Similar question

    Forget the platesetter / conveggtor and go straight for the Adjustable Rig. It's really what should come with the BGE from the factory. I have the R&B Combo with the added Extender. It's expensive, but a game changer. Also, check out the Egg Heads at the EggHeadForum. I've learned a ton on there.
