    Intelliflo running outside schedule

    Yes the power to the intelliflo is controlled by the 20 minute timer. The pump is running when it gets power even though it is outside its schedule. There is no manual control of the pump happening. Think of the 20 minute switch as a breaker. I don’t have the model number off hand

    Levolor autofill

    OKay thanks. The trough is outside, and the sensor tube is inside the pump room. I would estimate that the sensor is located at about the same height as the trough.

    Help Figuring Out My Plumbing

    Ok so you have 1 suction line and 2 return lines. Without more information its hard to tell what exactly is going on between the 2 return lines. Most likely you have a water feature that is activated when the black handle is pointed to the right, therefore diverting water to the 2 red ball...

    Purchasing Intelliflo EC-011028…Extended warranty with Chase card?

    first of all, get an intellipro and there wont be any plumbing involved in the install. If i was you i would call around to local pool service companies and ask how much they would sell you an intellipro for if you do the install. Offer to pay cash and you might get a better deal. If you buy...

    Hayward ColorLogic 100' 120VAC cable stuck in conduit. No strings attached.

    Ive been there before and it is insanely frustrating. My recommendation is drain the pool, add plenty of wire pulling lube to the junction box side as well as the light niche side. It is also helpful to have a second person pushing the cord from the pool side as the other person is pulling...

    green pool, well water, and cover

    This pool is 35k gallons, it is on a well, and has an automatic cover. Pool is flourescent green and has heavy orange mineral deposits on steps. Test results: CYA:10 FC : 1 CC: 1 TA: 280 PH: 7.6 CH: 500 I suspect that the orange deposits are from iron in the water. My question is, is the...

    Spa stopped heating but spillover started

    Have you cleaned the filter? The filter is very small. That may be decreasing the flow to the heater, slowing down the heating process. Could also play a role in not reaching temperature. Although you have a heat pump and I don't really know much about those

    Trichlor and Liquid Chlorine experiment!?

    this is basically how I maintain pools on my route in central California. It works just fine, but the cya does increase rapidly. "Wasting" some water each week via backwash or opening the filter drain plug will slow the pace of the increase. It's also an option to use cal hypo tablets. The...
