    Hayward Ecostar 3400SVP pump Drive Error

    I'll have to check on the prime speed settings. I don't remember what can be adjusted for that. Good point about the pump curve. Somewhere I took rpm vs power reading for the various conditions to estimate power consumption and see were it was in the curve. I'll see if I can find that data as...

    Hayward Ecostar 3400SVP pump Drive Error

    I would be curious to hear from others as well. My drive failed in early January of this year. It was installed in April 2014. The highest scheduled run speed is 60% for skimming and a pressure side cleaner and that was typically two 1.5 hour cycles per day in summer. I have a demand speed of...

    I made a pool logger

    I've been using it for a while and you really have done an excellent job. Thank you. I have to add metal suquesterant​ and it is not one of the choices on the add chem page. Could that be added?

    A slight "shock"

    I agree a grid would be better but thought it may be worth trying the single first. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

    A slight "shock"

    If you google for NEC 680 equipotential bond, you should find a link to a PDF of 2014 NEC requirements. Page 19 describes an alternative using a single wire 18 to 24 inches from the inside of the pool wall. In any case the document give a good overview of what is required. Sent from my XT1575...

    Pentair Easytouch 120 from Neutral Bus & Control Panel Stopped Working

    Yes in the sub-panel they should be separate. In the main upstream service panel is where they would be connected. Either way the neutral wires should be connected to the neutral buss. I was thinking the neutral/ground bond should have held the neutral to 0v for small loads like the...

    Pentair Easytouch 120 from Neutral Bus & Control Panel Stopped Working

    Glad you got it working. I am still a little curious about the main panel. The neutral and ground busses are normally bonded together at the service entrance. Seems like yours must be isolated or the bond is poorly done. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

    Pentair Easytouch 120 from Neutral Bus & Control Panel Stopped Working

    Have you checked to verify the neutral conductor is properly attached at the ET and the main panel? Also, could you post photos of the connections? Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

    Cloudy a week after AA treatment

    Hello from long time lurker and thanks in advance for the help. Opened the pool this year with the TFP methods and have been very happy/trouble free until yesterday. I had a lot of iron staining (well water) so I did an AA treatment last weekend. Very happy with the results and have been...
