Edit. Sorry. Just now figured a way to see signature in Tapatalk. You may want better council than me and my diy solution. Good luck in your search. Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk

Hi and welcome, glad you are here. Everyone has different pools and different needs. I have an above ground pool and solved my dosing problem with a $13 peristaltic pump from amazon, some aquarium tubing, a 12v battery charger, a Woods programmable timer, all in a plastic cabinet next to the...

Hi! Reminder: pH not accurate when fc is 10 and above. Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk

I enjoy the pool store. It is where I get my liquid chlorine. This last time, thanks to being a good customer, I left with 5 gallons at a cost of $3.00! Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk

Yep, me too, and around the same time frame. Says 'network connection something blah blah' Edit; it works now after a new update of the app.

I had that pump and it was destroyed within 6 months. Insides were melted and rusted. Went with cheap peristaltic. Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk

My pump died and I replaced with another newer intex. Pump and filter $157 from amazon. Handles my 18 x 48 nicely. Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, 3000 GPH Pump Flow Rate, 110-120V with GFCI Cheers Actually only the bearings on the motor died, and youtube vids...

I think he said gauge is not working. I'd like to see report of on for an hour off for an hour and repeat to see how the prime holds and if it always reprimes consistently.

I don't know why but I'm starting to think it's the multiport.

Hey there Charlie_r, I have an 18x48 intex, and I'm using a peristaltic pump from amazon, 12v run by a battery charger on a simple digital timer. How's your arduino project doing?

I went the peristaltic pump route also, a cheap 12v one from amazon. As for tubing, cheap aquarium 1/4 inch OD (I think) slips over the small tubing that's in the pump. I do remember a youtube vid showing how to cut away some plastic to actually use the larger tubing than what it comes with...

Would testing in WASTE mode tell us anything? That would bypass a lot of stuff, at least.

Hi Rangeball, I wish I could help out. As silly as it sounds, could you run the line to the pool and 'hide' it somehow with something decorative? Maybe a different type of pump, the ones with rollers, can't think of the name, would handle the pressures encountered with a pool pump better...

I too am impressed. I have a small pool and only need dosing for about three to four minutes each day. That little $15 pump and the Woods timers make my pool as care free as anything I've ever maintained. I highly recommend spending some beer money before a high dollar investment. But then...
