Thanks for the reply. I should clarify since there is an "upgrade" board that I am planning a full replacement. As for the transformer I'm not entirely sure where the transformer is located if there is one for the lights but I do know it's 120v and it's tied to the cp2000. Can the...

Greatings TFP, I have a old Compool cp2000 that is now starting to have major issues. It's time to replace it. I've actually been going back and forth and now I'm settling between the Easytouch and Aqualink, leaning towards Easytouch. I'm planning to do the install myself but I'm a little...

Thanks Bama Rambler for your input. A follow up would be if I can tie two lights to circuit 5 (pool + spa)? Also, I'm not all too familiar with the z-wave technology but are there other controllers that can hook into this? Is there a possibility to have a controller hook into two of these...

Hi TFP, I'm considering installing a multiwave system and wondering if anyone has experience with a similar setup that I'm aiming for: 240v 1-speed pump (future upgrade to 2-speed) 240v booster pump 240v actuator 120v light (actually have 2 lights, but can live with one) The question is the...

Hi TFP Community! I have a Compool 2000 (very old system) that is now starting to give issues. I'm in need of some recommendations on a replacement system and whether it's something I could tackle on my own or not. Someone recommended the aqualink/iaqualink system which sounded interesting...

James, it looks similar but I don't see the 8 screws to the impeller as the Hayward seems to show. Perhaps I could remove the silver round bracket attached to the volute? That screw is also hard to turn. Here's what it looks like in its full from the top view.

Wow it must be really stuck then. I'll focus on that rim and try to get it off but I'll post a pic on Wednesday when I can get to it next. Thanks to the both of you for the input thus far.

Yeah, agree with you that it seems I should be able to take that off but after first gently trying to tap it off with a hammer and a flat head...then not so gently trying to tap it off around the "seam", I get no movement. Perhaps I do need to be more persistent and I've seen other ones do that...

I'm having trouble uploading my 4mb jpg file so I'll keep trying there but I did fail to mention that I tried that side where there are 2 small screws and a side port where the power lines run into. I did remove the screws, loosened the boot running the power lines, but failed to get any...

Hi TFP, I have an AO Smith SQ1052 booster pump for the cleaner that, when turns on, hums but does not seem to spin or pump. I attempted to remove the motor so I can try to manually spin it. It has a square flange attached to the volute but as I tried to remove the 4 bolts to the flange, two...

Just to conclude this thread, I did try this out...filled a sock with about half a cup of granules and tightly wound it. I stuck it in the floater and let it go. I checked about 30 mins later and it was mostly dissolved. Although that obviously doesn't allow for a long term dispersion of...

Thanks for your thoughts and sharing your experience. I'm taking it from the both of you that it may dissolve too quickly. Little surprised no one has purportedly tried it though so I might just try it just to see. Nonetheless, I'll grab a bucket of pucks. CYA is going in today beforehand...

I got a couple week-long trips this summer. Long story short, got new water in newly plastered pool so my CYA is zero. I got a bucket of chlorine granules that I've not used in a while (since I went BBB) but seeing that I need to add some stabilizer and some chlorine, can I say put the...
