Sigh... I was afraid of that, FWIW - DigiKey no longer lists the part in any form. However, I found "ELNA 3.3V 0.33F" parts on eBay as of 7/7/24. They're in Shenzhen, CN (no surprise), but at least they exist.

In hopes @eduaqa is still around or gets a notification, I'll ask here "How did you ID the cap?"

Forget the tabs. They're neither cal hypo or sodium dichlor. That explains why they had little effect. They're fine in a chlorinator, but not as a cleaning product. The challenge, then, is how do I effectively place a load of cal hypo on the stains. The shallower stains are just on the flat...

Our Pebble-Tec in-ground pool has four major stains that refuse to die. Two are definitely related to winter leaves, while two are mainly "where things died" (worms, etc.). They're brown to yellow-ish. There's no metal within a few feet of the stains. Overall pool chemistry is in spec. Ascorbic...

Um, I plead guilty to having let the pump run before remembering the main pump is off. Without a gauge, it's hard to know what the pressure is at the 180, but that's what has let the "OMG! No main pump" happen. The 180 runs around waving its sweep and inhaling leaves. NTL, your point about the...

The main pump's timer is part of the pump itself. Using an external timer would trigger a data reset every time the pump's power is cycled. I'll just have to be very careful about when the booster pump runs. ADDED: I just re-read the initial post. I missed a word. The question should be "The...

We have an ancient 180 (it's exactly as it came with the pool - if you ignore I've replaced most parts at one point or another) with a booster pump, of course. Somewhere in the Polaris docs it say something about never running the pump if the main pump isn't running. The pump - filter - pump...

Fortunately, my pump doesn't shut down until the black connector is jiggled. "All" that happens is the pump throws the error code and goes through the priming cycle, starting with the delay prior to the motor starting to spin. I didn't change the programming; the problem happens at least in...

Nope. At this point I'm just living with the problem. It doesn't cause problems with the overall circulation/ filter process, Whatever the cause is, it almost only happens when the pump is running at a higher speed (IIRC 2200 RPM) or, on occasion, the prime process (3450?? 3540??). I totally...

OK! Thanks for ....uh... getting my head out of my ...uh... pump pot. LOL I made sure we had the installer info for the "lost" warranty and PECO rebate. I have it in the stuff uncovered in the search. Let;s see what I can negotiate out of Pentair.

I called Pentair tech support about the problem. The tech couldn't find a warranty registration for the pump. That's odd because I had to register to get a $200 rebate from our power provider. We received the rebate, so all should be well with Pentair. AFAIK, the Superflo has a 1 year warranty...

My apologies if I stepped on my necktie re: forum rules. The 0021 is still happening. It seems to have calmed down a bit, with fewer occurrences. Or they happen when I'm not looking at or hearing the pump. NTL the error does show up. Assuming a year warranty, the purchase receipt and...

(There a two threads about 0021 errors, but TFP policy basically says "no necro posting" Thread number 3 follows) OK, first time listener, first time caller. My Superflo is also giving err 0021's. I pulled the 5 pin connector, squirted contact cleaner, put the plug back and... no change. The...
