Thanks as always!!!!!

@Newdude, Yeah, I did up my filter size when planning the pool for this exact reason. I just backwash so infrequently, I am second guessing myself :) @Jimrahbe - Interesting point you bring up which begs the question, should I be backwashing based on time or pressure? The pool looks good, no...

yeah, I run it 24/7 at 1200 RPM, just enough for the SWC to work without issue. When I check my pressure, I always have to turn the pump up to high to get a true value obviously. Okay, cool, I will just monitor it as normal and follow suit. Thanks!

Hi everyone, got what I thinking it is stupid question, but this weekend we are having a big party. Currently my pressure is right around the 1/2 way mark, but I tried to keep it very clean so it took months to finally get to that point. My question is, would it be better to backwash prior or...

To be honest, after shocking the pool and waiting a day, the pool is crystal clear like it was a few days ago. FC was 3.5 prior to adding the shock but I think due to my high CYA, I was getting a little chlorine lock and had to up the amount of FC to get the same effect. Pool still looks 100%...

Thanks! Any idea what caused it? Ideally I would like to prevent in the future when closing the pool this year. No idea how it appears on the step as I think we dropped the water below the top step.

Hi everyone. I have had my pool for 3 years and when I opened it this year, I noticed a few little white spots on the steps. I tried brushing them and it did not do anything. Normally I would not mind, but they are RIGHT on the top step. Any ideas how to get rid of them? Thanks!

ok, that makes sense. I actually attempted to run AqualinkD on a system where there was other stuff running on. I will do a fresh install of Raspbian, install AqualinkD, and see what happens. Thanks again!

Not a bad idea. I am guessing the one I remove temporarily would be the connection to my iAqaulink, correct? Can I run them both at the same time (iAqualink and AqualinkD)?

Yes, I think that is what I am asking. I do have two 4-port Red PCB connections on my board. Just so I am clear, you are saying that I can install TWO wires per SINGLE port on each red PCB, totaling in theory, 8 wires coming out of the (2), 4-port PCB's (2 wires per G, Y, B, R ports)? If that is...

Hi everyone, I am in the EARLY stages of trying to get AqualinkD running so I can connect, monitor, etc. with Home Assistant. I got the recommended USB adaptor and can get data to show on it when running this script in the instructions - "sudo -s eval 'stty raw -echo < /dev/ttyUSB0; cat -vte...

Yeah, the No Flow came back WITHOUT the hairnets so someone suggested putting it in recirculation mode and see if it goes away and it did. I am gonna backwash a little and see if that helps. Maybe I loaded it up with too much DE at start up. I put in 7.5lb in my 60 filter but maybe I measured...

Well, as usual, the TFP to the rescue! I took out the hairnets 2-3 days ago and have not had the No Flow message pop up (at least when I am checking it). I was able to even turn down the pump to 1200 RPM 24/7 and it seems to be "flowin'" just fine. Thanks again!!!!

Yeah, you bring up a good point, plus I think I oversized my filter for that exact reason when I did the equipment. I like to run the hairnets until the pollen is done, but maybe I am riding too close to the sun on this one and just need to bump it up a little. I will continue to monitor it all...
