    Installed new SWG but FC is low

    Before anyone can help you they will need to know how big (gallons) your pool is.

    Century (Regal) VGreen motor automation

    Well, that was easy. My Pureline pump now speaks Jandy. I think I going to hold off buying the IQPump01 interface for now and try going down the node-red /Home Assistance route. @johnkim2020, if you are still around, please upload your node-red setup.

    Please help me decide which SWG to buy

    I bought a Pureline 60k Crystal Pure 3.0 Salt System from Inyo Pools in 2019. It has somewhere between 3000 and 3500 generating hours on it. It is still running strong. I would buy it again without any hesitation.

    Century (Regal) VGreen motor automation

    I have been using the VLink controller with my PureLine Prime 1.65 Hp VS Pump, which uses the VGreen 165 variable speed motor, since 2019. The Vlink has been problematic since the beginning with many of the functions never being implemented along with frequent issues with the adapter not being...

    Variable speed pump-losing flow at 1600

    Check that the directional arrow on the flow switch for the SWCG is aligned with the water flow, I had the same problem, my flow switch wasn't closing at the normal speed that I ran at (1600 rpm). A quarter-turn of the flow switch to align the arrow with the flow fixed the problem.

    New SWG, Does not seem to produce at advertised rates

    Before talking with Discount Salt Pool / Cirupool you should check to ensure that the controller has the correct cell version. For the UL 55 it is either t-15 or c-60 depending on the age of the controller. Sorry for the vagueness of this answer, but I couldn't find any definite answer on their...

    My wiring diagram for current sensing relay

    First, I am not an Electrician, and second, Canada's code may differ. Switching only one line of a 240V circuit is allowed per the code. The current sensing relay is considered a controlling device, not a disconnect. Your circuit breaker serves as the circuit disconnect. When you service...

    How do you connect a Pentair superflow VS Pump to a Aqua Rite SWG without using a time clock?

    EH is the correct model. The output to the SWCG is wired to the "normally open" contact. This results in no power to the SWCG as long as the current to the motor is below the trip point. Once the motor current exceeds the trip point, power is applied to the SWCG.

    Replacement caps for edges at stairs

    Did you ask the company that installed your liner? I was missing all four of my caps and got replacements from the builder of my pool. Cost around $7 for a set of four.

    Triac Based Current Sensing Relay

    Wrapping the power line through the sensing coil two or more times reduces the sensing range proportionally. Just divide the sensing range by the number of wraps. For example, I wrap the power line through the sensing coil three times, reducing the 1-10amp range to 0.333 to 3.33amps.

    Calling all Pureline SWG owners

    My pool is a little bigger at 30K gallons. With a CYA of 70 ppm, I have mine set at 22% running 24/7 and it maintains my FC at 10 ppm. Per Pool Math using that setting, my Pureline 60k should be adding 2.7 ppm per day. I've got somewhere between 2500 and 3000 operating hours on my cell based...

    Use regular cartridge on a pentair Quad DE filter

    I converted my Quad 60 DE to a Clean and Clear 320 by swapping my DE filters for the CC 320 cartages. They have been installed since Memorial Day weekend and the water looks just as good as when I was using DE. I bought these cartridges, Clean & Clear® Plus 32 0 The OPT-320 has a slightly...

    convert Pentair Quad DE to C&C

    I thinking about converting my Quad 60 to a cartridge. I've got the proper-sized cartridge picked out but not sure why I need to remove my multiport valve. I understand that I can't run with the cartridge in backwash but why do I need to replace the valve?
