Hi all. Last fall we had our pool replastered. This is the first time the pool had been replastered since it was built around 20 years ago. When the replaster was done in the fall, there was quite a bit of discoloration which further led to pitting. I am working with a reputable pool company...

Bumping this thread up to hopefully get some advice. Thank you in advance.

I have an Easy Touch controlling my Pentair Compool automation on our pool/spa combo. This morning I noticed a "No Comm" message on the remote controller and found that my pump was not running. At the equipment panel, I noticed AUX4, which is labeled as 'Cleaner', is flashing in a 5 blink...

Ahhh, thanks guys. Now I understand. Think I have a plan B. My blower has been dead for years and we never really use it anyways. I’m going to repurpose that output/relay and, if I decide down the road that I want a blower, I’ll address it then. Thank you all for being a tremendous and helpful...

Jim, yes, AUX 5 is labeled “High Speed” and puts the pump speed up. I use this occasionally to bump up the circulation, but if there is a smarter way to control it, I’d be happy to repurpose that relay for the light. Would that be a possibility?

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I’m having trouble figuring out how the diagram maps to the wires in the other picture. Based on the wires, it looks like all the AUX ports have wires coming from them. On my controller, they look unassigned. Based on the picture, can you tell if these...

Hi TFP friends. I’m in the midst on a pool renovation (tile and plaster) and am repurposing a vacuum line that I don’t use for a nicheless light. I’m trying to figure out if I have an available AUX line to connect the new light to, because it is a different brand and has a different sequence...

I’d like to add some light to my pool and figured out that I have a vacuum line to the pool that I no longer use and never will. (Have robot). It’s in a near perfect location to add some light to the pool and the plumbing is already disconnected from the suction line. I’ve seen nicheless lights...

Hi all. I’d like to have the ability to control my pool and spa via the internet. For instance, on way home and want to start spa heating. I’ve included pictures of the existing control equipment. Hoping you can help me determine if this is possible and what product(s) I would need to purchase...

As an update, but not necessarily a solution, the clock has suddenly begun advancing again today and, hence, the pool is following the schedule. I noticed a few days ago that the time had changed by 2 minutes so I was intrigued. The. Today it showed a time several hours later that the time it...

The software version is UIC: 2.090 UOC: 2.090 @ogdento

Any other ideas on what may solve this? For some added context, when the power is cut to the system, the clock keeps time. When power is restored, it stalls again at whatever time the power came on. That’s the only way I’ve seen the clock advance since this started a couple weeks ago. I’ve also...

Thank you for the suggestion. I replaced the battery but the issue is still present.

Hello. I have a Pentair Easy Touch system that is having issues with the clock. Basically, it will not advance the time from the time I set it. It just stays at that time. I have tried setting it numerous times and shut down power at the breaker. Interestingly, the clock did seem to advance when...

Great tip indeed! I will try this. Thank you all for the help!

Confirmed that automation is Pentair Easy Touch. The Raypak Heater is a propane R406A-EP-C. I cannot raise the temp above the 104 top limit on the Raypak control panel.

I'm 95% certain it is a Pentair Easy Touch. As the spa is getting cooler, the Pentair control confirms that the temperature is decreasing. The spa could be set to 104, but the water temp is only reading 101 and the heater is not producing heat. At this same time, the RayPak heater's display on...

I bought the house a few months ago so I don't have all the details of the pool and equipment, which were all pre-existing. It is a gunnite pool with attached spa, which is approximately 28k gallons combined. The automation is Pentair. It has a Pentair variable speed pump and DE filter. The...

The pool is controlled by automation. The water temperature readings are in agreement as it is warming up. However, once it achieves the set temperature is when the delta grows. As you can imagine, it's pretty annoying when you get into it nice and hot, but the heat shuts off and water cools...

Hi all. I have a Raypak propane heater on my attached spa. I don't know the exact age of the heater as we bought the house this summer. I suspect it is 4+ years old, but only guessing. This issue I have is when I heat up the spa, it comes up to temperature nicely, but once it reaches the desired...

No easement issue. House was built in 98 and appears to have always had NG. The line into the house is no more than 20’ from either the heater or the above ground propane tanks. My RE agent is continuing to ask the seller the reasoning for the set up. It’s not a deal breaker, but I’d hate to...

Hello. I am buying a home in South New Jersey that has an inground pool with built-in spa. The house has a natural gas line run to it for heating and other appliances, but it ALSO has two large above ground propane tanks that run the pool/spa heater. I’m trying to understand the logic in having...

Mine are the colored ones, and yes I use them every day for several hours.

I’ve had my Jandy nichless lights replaced almost every 4 months since I bought them two years ago. Fortunately, they have been very good about the replacement process. When I had some replaced this summer, the company that has been installing them said that Jandy was field testing a new version...
