Has anyone found a way in 2025 to integrate the OmniPL with Google Home as Hayward said from release that would be possible? I called support, they said that someone would call me back which never happened, I searched for it, nothing. There are some instructions on how you may integrate it with...

I am about to deal with the dread of annual metal stain removing from the walls of my light blue fiberglass pool. I am looking for advice on where to get pure ascorbic acid. 3 years ago I bought 3lbs on Amazon (PC NetwoRx Pure Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Powder). I ended up dumping all 3 lbs and...

My TCELL940 is on its last leg after 5.5 years. Some days it works great, some days it doesn't produce, voltage and amperage are all over the place. If I can squeeze more juice out of it, great, I'll run it as long as I can. But either way, I want to be prepared for its EOL, regardless of when...

Good morning! I fully comprehend that automatic testers are not great nor precise. When I'm home I test my pool daily with a K-2006 to the point of being OCD about it. I keep my pool exactly at the recommended values. But every year we go away a month in the summer and another couple of weeks in...

My TCELL940 (paired up with an Omni PL system) seems to be slowing down after nearly 5 years of operation. It was fine last season (operating at 20-25% trough the NE FL summer/fall) and kept the pool at 5ppm running at 5% with a pool cover Dec-Feb. But now that I've uncovered the pool, it looks...

I've read dozens of threads here about rising PH and understand the reasoning. I've been following the TFP balancing recommendations for my fiberglass pool for over a year now. My typical readings are: FC 5 CYA 70ish TA 60-80 PH I shoot for 7.6-7.7 CA 350ish And just like everyone else, I add...

Hey guys, I've had my OmniPL system for a little under a year and has been doing all that I was looking for. But this summer I found myself in the pool a few times and wanted to do something that would have required me to get out and grab my phone wet. I have a Google speaker close enough for...

I live in N. Florida and twice a year I play the iron staining / ascorbic acid game. Each time I successfully follow the same process (that I learned here) and use a bottle of Metal Magic. And each time the pool gets cloudier and more difficult to see through than Mt. Denali during a whiteout...

3 weeks ago I had an OmniPL installed by my local Pinch a Penny. I didn't have the option to do it myself. After a week I noticed that the morning temp reading was about 5-6 degrees over the real temp but towards the evening it would get close to reality. They came back and said that it's...

I have a Hayward Aquarite 940. Salt level is 3200, water is balanced and at 62 degrees in the N FL winter. it has been in operation since August 2019, so it's 2.5 years old, almost out of warranty. I find myself having to keep it at 35-40% to maintain FC (as opposed to what should normally be...

Ladies and gents, I'm stumped. After treating my fiberglass pool for iron with ascorbic acid 5 weeks ago, I had mostly re-balanced it. FC was steady at 4.5-5 for 2 weeks, alkalinity was 70, PH 7.6 CYA 60. The only thing that was low was calcium so I raised it over the course of the last 48 hours...

I'm about to start the process of stain removal with Polyquat 60 > Ascorbic Acid > Megic Metal. I've read many posts here, I've read the process. My issue is that I have a lot of staining on the walls, pretty much all the way around. But the process mentions dumping it in the pool, close to the...

I've looked all over the forum but there's not much information on this topic. My wife would really like to add some lights around the pool. So far I've found 3 options: - strings of light bulbs draped around the enclosure - hate the look so no - solar - no - Nebula - best choice and there is a...

While I'm trying to get rid of algae after being out of town for a few week and having a neighbor "watch" after my pool, I'm seriously thinking about getting some automation with remote (phone) control. All my equipment is Hayward, listed in my signature. I've stated researching over the last 2...

I have a 10k fiberglass pool and live in N Florida. A month ago it was perfectly balanced with all iron staining removed in December. The entire Spring setting my salt cell to 15% kept my FC at the right level. I went out of town for 3 weeks and asked a neighbor, pool owner, to check it. Long...

I have 2 year old fiberglass pool with 3" bullnose coping going over the edge and down. I do not have any tile, I like this look better. The issue is that some of the grout under the coping is falling off. Yes, I could regrout but I feel like it will have the same fate even if I get the right...

Hello everyone! I have a 10k fiberglass pool under a screen enclosure. I don't get leaves or any big/major debris, just fine debris on the smooth bottom and steps. I'd use it 2-3 times per week for 10 minutes. I tried the Ryobi pool vacuum from HD but after replacing/returning 3 in 4 months...

Hello everyone, I have a 1 year old San Juan 10k fiberglass pool that the installer left with metal stains. I was finally able to get rid of most of them over the last 2 weeks and I'd like to get my water balanced to where it needs to be. As of 3 hours ago, here are my levels: FC - 1.8 - I got...

My contractor just finished installing a new 12,000 gallon fiberglass pool along with an enclosure and equipment. Part of the job was an Aquarite 900 and there may be some issues with it. 1) first they added too much salt. The level was 4900, way over the recommended level of up to 3400. I...

Dear friends. I am in the middle of installing a 10,000 gal saltwater fiberglass pool (by San Juan). My installer's initial recommendation for an electric heat pump was the Hayward 21404t (140k BTU) but 2 days ago he came to me and said that his supplier is now carrying AquaCal products and he...
