    No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on pump

    Re: No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on So we figured out that "Purifier off check flow" was related to the salt setting after all. Very weird but it definitely was not about the flow being interrupted as we checked everything and it all was fine. When the system reset...

    No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on pump

    Re: No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on By speed I meant, what I should set the pump as being. One-speed pump or two-speed pump? I have no clue what the difference is! We are waiting for the pool guy to bring over salt as it definitely needs some, however would that be the...

    No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on pump

    Re: No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on Ok so I went into the installer menu and saw that it was set on external timer. Have no clue how this happened??? Then also the gallons of the pool were somehow set to 125,000, which I changed back to 25k. By the pump speed I didnt...

    How many hours to keep the pump on for 25k gal pool

    I think you can save a lot of money if you run it less. I ran mine for 5 - 6 hours for years and it worked perfectly, the water was crystal clear, once it was cleaned at least once a week. I am going to try the suggestions in doing 2 pool cycles for 3 hours each, one in the morning and one in...

    No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on pump

    Re: No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on Ok thank you! Yes indeed it says External Timer. I forgot to mention that! Can this be through a power cut or some system error or would it have to happened by someone erasing it by mistake? Maybe my pool guy didn't know what he was...

    How many hours to keep the pump on for 25k gal pool

    Hi I just had a simple question. We live in the Caribbean and our pool is approx 25k gallons. Here the sun rises at around 6 and sets around 6:30 PM. I was wondering what the ideal hours would be to keep the pump on and which time. We used to keep it on about 6 hours when the sun was hottest...

    No installer menu found and no settings show to turn on pump

    Hi, I can't turn on the pump normally. All of a sudden it seems the settings have disappeared. Also the pump program one and two are not indicated in the maintenance menu so the automatic setting for the pump to come on a certain time and then turn itself off are not there. The only way for me...

    Is my cell producing chlorine?

    Hi I have a funny feeling that my cell isn't working the way it should and the autopilot has no light showing any errors. My pool turned green and after throwing in chemicals including chlorine to shock it to get it back blue it worked. However the high level of chlorine on the strips...

    Pool turning green - generator doesnt seem to be producing

    That's what I am saying! I next to Mustique in The Grenadines. There are a few suppliers here but they are expensive like pharmacies. Most stuff imported here comes from Miami as it is not far away. If we can get a cheap supplier up there. We would definitely order everything from up there! On...

    Pool turning green - generator doesnt seem to be producing

    We can get a lot of the things here but to be honest sometimes they are way overpriced! Which site would you recommend for ordering stuff online? Today I was lucky. I found Acid for pools priced at 14 USD per gallon. I remember last time it was 40 USD per gallon, so I threw in one gallon of acid...

    Pool turning green - generator doesnt seem to be producing

    Thanks Jason, Yes you are right. Once turned green I am not expecting the generator to keep up. So I have been running the pump non stop and put in extra chlorine. Thanks for sending me the link of how to shock the pool which has been helpful. According to the tables I need to get the FC to 16...

    Pool turning green - generator doesnt seem to be producing

    It rained for a few days after which it sunk the salt levels to just 3200 ppms. It started turning green so I checked the generator salt level which after putting more salt into it is now 3600. We also shocked the pool with 2 pounds of add chlorine 4 days ago. Made no difference. Today we...
