Recommended lubrication

Which model O-ring did you order? Try filling the bottom tank with water, then close the air relief valve and open the drain at the bottom. This will create a suction effect between the lid and the bottom tank. Ensure the O-ring is well-lubricated.

Try applying Plastaid to the crack. If that doesn’t work, I would consider replumbing from the ground up to the pump.

Most skimmer float valves have a oring between the float and base.

The nodejspoolcontroller is probably the standard. You can check out @MyAZPool and @Katodude profiles.

UY connectors, yes you should use them to reconnect.

Update, everything is working so far. I still need to improve the interface so I’ll be working on that. I kind of got carried away with the 3d printer. But actuators work and the 2 relays at the bottom work. Everything else will be controlled by the low voltage relay. I still need to add the...

You can try and disconnect the com port and pump. Or disconnect the board entirely and give it a clean with 90% rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush on corroded parts. But could be bad board.

This is the way Ive seen it done in at least one instance. The customer has a water feature. The cover triggers a switch and that switch closes the relay circuit for the water feature pump. But I have no idea what the standard is. I can’t think of ways how the expansion board would help.But if I...

Wow this is some great information, thanks bill. I did use PLA. This didn’t even cross my mind. The box is meant for electronics but I don’t think it’s self extinguishing either. https://a.co/d/epPKV7q I may have to put in a case fan. Once I get a working product I will go back and reprint with...

So I don’t think I’m going to use the rs485. But if I was and I did it all again, I would use the sequent Microsystems hat recommended by Kato. They have hats with multiple relays and rs485. I am going to just use the digital input on the I/O. It’s something I know and can create my own...

A few updates, I reprinted bottom divider so the low voltage will remain separated from the high voltage. Added low voltage knockout and plug knockout with 120v plug. I am rethinking the rs-485, the pool this will be going on is my buddies and he has an intelliflo 3 with I/O and from what...

Thanks Katodude, I followed your threads and profile when I was gathering information and inspiration. Thank you for your contributions. I do want to use a rs485 hat and the NodeJsPoolcontroller.
