CJ, Most people what instant results, and don't want to put in the effort to perform a SLAM.. That is why Pool Stores sell 'magic' potions.. And, where they make all their money.. :mrgreen: Thanks, Jim R.

CJ, Show us a few pics of your skimmer... We need to see what is under the skimmer basket.. We need to see if you have a weir door between the mouth of the skimmer and where the skimmer basket is located. Also... since you have a IFCS, where does all the dirt go?? It has to get trapped in...

james, I think the power supply is weather 'resistant' but certainly not waterproof... Mine sits outside, but back under the roof overhang, so it is exposed to the weather but does not get soaking wet. Thanks, Jim R.

CJ, Most Pools with Spas are designed to be in the Pool mode or the Spa mode.. Not both at the same time. Jim R.

Dock, What was the Marina warranty??? I though it was 2 or 3 years??? Please let us know if the cable was actually bad.. We have not seen many failures, so it will be interesting to see what you find. I doubt something happened in the middle of the cable.. It has to be at one end or the...

mj, Turned out much better than I thought it would... :goodjob: Thanks, Jim R.

Tim, The whole point of having an automation system is that you can run it at different speeds at different times.. The key in my mind is that you don't ever want to run your pump, unless you are making chlorine.. So find out what speed just turns on your cell.. Add about 100 rpm and call...

Dock, Where did you find the Error code listing?? How old is the unit and did you buy it from Marina?? Thanks, Jim R.

Tim, Looking at your pic, the SWCG transformer will never get any AC power.. This is because there is no AC power going into the Pump/Filter relay. These relays work by putting power in on pins 1 and 3 (Line side pins) and then getting AC power out of pins 2 and 4 (Load Side pins..) You need...

CJ, Other than installing your new pump and filter, nothing on your list will make any real difference in how your plumbing will work.. If it will make your re-plumbing easier, then just make everything 2".. It will make very little difference one way or the other.. You say you are worried...

That is what they all say.. :poke: Jim R.

Nathan, With the cell disconnected, and the system in Auto, and Pool or Spa mode, you can test between the small red wires at J8 and J9 of the Surge Card, and you should get about 24 Volts AC.. If you have the 24 VAC input to the surge card, there should be about 30 to 40 volts DC on the...

Renante, Welcome to TFP... Nice looking pool.. :goodjob: Thanks, Jim R.

Paul, Try this test... Set the cell's output to 50%.. Then watch the 'Cell" light.. If the cell light comes on for about 2.5 minutes and then is off for about 2.5 minutes and it keeps repeating the cycle, then the cell is making chlorine. I suspect the cell is just fine and that you have...

Tim, The fix is simple.. Just move the pump wires from the Load side over to the Line side of the Pump/Filter relay. This will send constant AC power to the pump.. But.. Make sure the SWCG transformer (Power Center) is powered from the Load side.. This keeps the cell off if the pump is not...

B, I have a neighbor who uses this when he goes on vacations...

Tim, Sounds normal to me... You have a heater, and it sounds like you have an In-Floor-Cleaning-System (IFCS), and spillover spa, all running from one small VS pump... You do not list your filter, but that can also decrease flow depending on what you have.. Since you are in Florida, I...

L, This statement normally means that you have algae and a chemical issue and not a filter issue.. Tell us how you are chlorinating your pool, and what your CYA (stablizer) level is, and what FC (Chlorine) level you are trying to maintain.. What color is your water?? Thanks, Jim R.

Tim, The pump gets constant AC power and is controlled by being connected to the RS-485 com port at J20 on your EasyTouch.. Thanks, Jim R.

Guy, The Hayward SWCG Controller is not going to power up and control the CircuPool SWCG.. Thanks, Jim R.

Ten, Once in the water chlorine is chlorine no matter how you add it.. It makes sense to NOT just dump a gallon of liquid Chlorine (Bleach) right into your pool with the pump off.. You need to slowly pour it in at a running pool return so that it mixes quickly with the water. Thanks, Jim R.

S, With the valve in the position in your pic, all your water is going back to your spa spillover, and none to your pool returns. The purpose of that valve is so that you can adjust the amount of spillover.. I suggest that you set the valve to send most of the water to your pool returns, and...

Todd, Well, you can kind of see why we have problems giving advice based on non-DPD/FAS tests.. Your results were 5.1 and 3.. Which is correct? If we all use the same tests, it is easier to compare results.. Based on your OCLT results, it does not look like you have algae.. But, the...

K, The same basic 'T' idea as PoolStored... Thanks, Jim R.

Joe, Using the pump's display.. Menu, Settings, speed1-8, then speed 1-4, then Schedule, Set Speed Set start Set stop I have an automation system and have never done this.. Try it and let us know what happens. I'd initially set both the start and stop times to 0800.. and see what...

I am not sure that is true??? If you have power failure, the pump should start right back up when the power come back up. :scratch: If I get a chance, I'll disconnect my automation and give it a shot and see what happens.. Jim R.

Todd, I suggest that you start by taking a good read through our Pool School and seeing what we are all about. Pool School Using our PoolMath app, I came up with the following info... PoolMath Most 40K cells generate 1.4 lbs. of chlorine gas when run for 24 hours and at 100% output...
