Dear all, I have my spa since 1 year. Everything worked well so far. Today my HDF400 Hayward Heater for the first time doesn't turn on from Omnilogic. If I start the heater (either from my phone app or the controller in the wall) it says "Status - Heating" but it does not heat up. Screenshot...

I got my in ground spa installed in march. Everything was going wonder, looks beautiful. It is in acrylic from Spillway Spa. Since two weeks I noticed drastic drop of water in the pool. I added a bucket fully filled with water (you see it at top right of one of the below pics) and did the...

Please see pictures before. The spa is completed, he is now working on automation. I am reviewing everything and it seems to me that he installed the sensor downstream of the heater (see attached pics). Not a very good idea I guess. Hayward Omnilogic manual at page 8 says "This sensor is used to...

it is a Hayward HDF400. It is losing some water on the pad. Nothing dramatic (see pictures below) but I wanna make sure that is not an issue and it doesnt get worse. What do you guys thinks?

Is it safe to add to add a flagrance like this in the water of a saltwater inground acrylic spa that spills into a pool? I would add it when in SPA mode, but then of course when I am done using the spa it will dilute with Pool water when in Spillway mode. Can oil damage equipment, e.g., pump ...

Dear all, I am installing a in-ground acrylic spillway spa (I already have a pool but I am not touching pool piping). I already have a Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump VS+ 3.2kW 3HP pump (curve below) for the pool. I run the Head calculation and, given 60 ft of return and 60 ft of...

Adding Hayward Omnilogic HLPPlus4W automation. I want to remove old pool light (see pic below) and add a new LED one with multiple colors conected to automation. I am fine to go with Hayward but open to also use another brand. I would like many colors, good # of lumens (pool size is 36' x 19'...

By reading a bunch of old posts I see that in a pool-spa system there is a return valve and a suction valve. Actuators of valves can only have two positions, pool mode (spa pipe is closed, pool is open), and spa mode (vice versa). Therefore: In the Omnilogic Pool mode all the water gets sucked...

I will have a spa installed. Next to my pool. It has a waterfall. My contractor said that Hayward only does waterfall lights with a waterfall already in it, but I already have a waterfall (it is an acrylic spa with its own waterfall, see picture below for an example, I will put stones all around...

What has been used here on the side of this spa? Is that stamped concrete? or stones? I have stamped concrete on my pool deck (picture below) and I would like to find some good grey matching stones/tiles for the side of the spa.

I have 2.7 a HP variable speed Intellipro pump (011018). I just purchased Omnilogic by Hayward. I saw that I could purchase the Pump Converter accessory board (HLPMPCONV) to use Intellipro pump with Omnilogic automation. Is there anything I wont be able to do with the Intellipro that I would be...

Dear all, are you aware of a pool and spa safety alarm that does not require drilling? I was thinking maybe something to be attached to the pool ladder. As for the spa, not sure if there is anything that does not require drilling. Please see Florida code requirement below:

Enclosure company said to buy No See Ums 20x20 screen only on the lateral sides of the enclosure , and leave the top side with the standard screen (I think I have 18x14 or something similar). I am flooded with No See Ums so I need a solution (either chemicals or No See Ums 20x20 screen or...

Adding spa to a pool, circulating mode and spa mode. Gas heater. Do you think a 2.7 HP variable speed pump (Intellipro 011018) enough for a 8-jet in-ground spa. I will use Omni logic automation to control the variable speed pump. I have a 2" pipes, and spa will be on a corner of the pool, about...

When I bought the house in 2018, gutters connecting enclosure to pool came with no guards and no end caps. See pics below. Leaves accumulate like crazy without guards. Not sure if end caps where left out on purpose to allow side drainage. Not sure if guards were left out on purpose. Is this...

I got two quotes, one for 30k one for 35k, which are almost half of the gunite spa. It is a 90" acrylic spa, with a waterfall that connects spa to the pool (model SW-505 by SpillwaySPA (The Spillway Spa Non-Spill Hot Tub Spa Collection). Quote includes purchasing and installing the spa 2/3 under...

I have a crappy old yellowish light. I would like to have multicolor (thousands or more) so I can pick the shade of blue that will look more like ocean water given also my tile color. Plus I want dimming and I want programming, so that light goes on automatically at night. The only thing I found...

Since I got quoted 55k to add a built-in spa to my pool, I am considering getting a hot tub and making a custom structure that makes it look like built-in, as in the pictures in this thread (Pool Build - Hot Tub/Spa help - Separate vs. Integrated, copied below for your convenience). I have a few...

Good afternoon, I want to add an in-ground spa to my pool. I think an average-sized one, which can fit about 4-8 people max. I attach below the pictures of the pool (forget the dirt from the trees, I need to pressure wash it asap). The picture with the measuring tape indicates the corner of the...

Dear all, I have an enclosure, and the 2 doors, although they have a strip of rubber coming down from the top, they don't prevent mosquitos and lizard to enter the pool area, since the stamped concrete deck is very irregular and gaps form. The doors self close with a spring. I called a local...

Dear friends, In the past years a bunch of small biting flying insect (maybe No-see-ums ) are invading the enclosed pool. They fly pretty slow, i can easily kill one (if I see it for instance in front of my bright phone). I think the mesh size is probably 16x14 ( although i just carefully...

I live in Gainesville, Florida. I am here because I own a pool. But now I write for an unrelated question. I am a competitive beach volleyball player, and when it rains the sand courts we play get flooded, like a 5x5 pond in the middle of each side, 2-3" deep. We usually use some big flat...

I own a Hayward variable speed pump. Can you please explain to me how exactly priming works, I mean the technical details of the priming procedure ( I am an engineer, just not this field, you can go very technical). I guess it is somehow removing the air and building up pressure? Could priming...

I live in Florida, Gainesville. What is the pump speed and the number of hours per day that I have to Hayward variable speed pump on to save money and still have the pool clean? I guess it varies between summer, winter and spring/fall, but if there was some tool to compute the average values and...

Did anyone ever tested the air for Chloramines? Since I am working home in my room (40 days) I feel something wrong in my lungs, especially when I breathe deeply. And my eyes are sore in the morning, it gets slightly better during the day. The eye pain actually started probably 1 year ago and is...

Dear all, I am new to this forum, I am really impressed to see how many people here share the passion for pools and share their knowledge to help each other. I have a Hayward filter system. The label says MD C12002. Today the pool maintenance lady tried to unscrew the knob to change the filter...
