The last 3 weeks when I go to test my pool my PH always reads low, like 7 on my Taylor K2006 kit. I add the recommended borax and it’s up around 7.8 later that day. Then the next week when I test again is the same story. I don’t know why it’s running low. Usually it runs high. FC = 5 CC = 0...

We've had our pool with Hayward automation for about a year. I am still so confused. I run my pump on a schedule from 8am to 8pm. I have my chlorinator and heat pump both set to run on the same schedule (8a-8p). Chlorinator is set to run at 60% and heat pump at 83. These are the only...

Anyone know how to delete a theme in any of the interfaces? When I go to the panel, I do see a trash can when I pull up the themes, but I'm not sure how to activate it.

We just installed the daughterboard on our Aquarite to our Omnihub. I can't figure out how to configure the Omnihub to see the chlorinator. The "remotely controlling" light is ON on the Aquarite. Also, when I open the Omnilogic app, I see a notification that says this: "Limit of 0 for AQR...

We just had our pool installed last year with Hayward equipment. We have automation via the Omni VS pump and Omnilogic app. When we turn on the lights, they cycle through a bunch of colors and then usually land on the designated color. When I CHANGE the lights to another color or show via the...

Wanted to get you experts' thoughts on this before I dump a bunch more bleach in my pool. We've noticed over the past few weeks that there seems to be a bunch of what looks like dust in the pool bottom, especially on the slanted sides where the deep end goes down. The water is clear, the bottom...

In the process of doing the concrete and coating around our pool, the guys taped all kinds of stuff to the liner. Well, now there is an adhesive residue all around the top of the liner, above the water line. Anything that is safe to use to remove this? I know my goo be gone will work, but I...

We have a new Hayward Omni VS pump. I have set a schedule as follows: 12:00am - 8:00am speed low (18%) all week 8:00am - 2:00pm speed custom (75%) all week 2:00pm - 12:00am speed med (50%) all week The first cycle (to switch to low at midnight) isn't working. The pump stays on medium until...

We started about 3 weeks ago. There’s been a ton of rain so we’re not making a lot of progress. Hopefully this week will be better. Doing a liner pool - about 35k gallons. This is our second pool install. I can’t believe we’re doing it again. ? Will post more pics as it comes along.

Hi all. We built an inground pool back in 2012 that used all Pentair equipment, including an Easytouch 8 panel. After the pool build, we self-installed the mobile/wifi antenna and were able to control everything using the Screenlogic app on our phones. We are looking for something similar in...

We had a pool installed at our last house, so we have been here before. Our old pool was a liner pool built with fiberglass/composite walls, saltwater chlorine generator, and a sand filter. We had a guy out here at our new house today to do a proposal here. He is trying to push chlorine and some...

When I press the Pool on button the heater goes through the LED sequence, but once it gets past that it shows a temp on the LED and the service heater light comes on. I don’t ever hear it start up. It stays like this until I turn it off. My husband opened it up and the error code is HLS. I know...

We've had this thing for the entire 6 years that we've had our pool. It's always worked without fail (outside of a few comm interrupts occasionally, but they were rare and intermittent). This year, I can't get it to connect beyond the generic pool info. It says "Auto" at the top and shows the...

Hi. We opened our pool on Friday and started SLAM (because it was a swamp). We have the pool pretty blue now, but the water is cloudy and I still can't see the bottom in the shallow end. I don't see the huge algae clouds though that I could see over the weekend. We've been brushing and...

We are starting our sixth season of our pool and I've never deep cleaned the filter. I've scoured the "deep clean" posts the great instructions provided and just had one question... we have a side mount filter. What plumbing, if any, do we need to disconnect before we open it and start the...

We have a Pentair Intellichlor that keeps giving the error that the salt cell needs to be cleaned. We have cleaned it three times and get NO bubbling each time. The light keeps flashing away that it needs to be cleaned. Anything else that could generate that error message? At this point it's not...

Our pool is suddenly cloudy. I can't figure out why. Here's the chemical counts: CYA 40 CC .5 FC 4.5 pH 7.6 TA 80 Salt 3400 We've had our pool for four years and these chemical numbers have always been good. Any ideas?

Our pool has been pretty clear this summer. No problems, until the past few weeks. It's been unseasonably cool, so we haven't been swimming. Algae is growing in the pool. Test results: FC=5 CC=<.5 PH is 7.8-8 (I have a hard time distinguishing) Alkalinity is 90 CYA is 50 Thoughts? Should we...

Had a question on this as we finally got it installed. We have had an easytouch remote controller. I also installed the PC software with the screenlogic2. I don't see where you can adjust the rpm on the intelliflo or adjust the output on the intellichlor (or see salt levels for that matter) when...

We have an Intellichlor. Our pool is between 25 and 30k gallons. It's a lagoon shape, so we were never sure. Anyway, this is our second year. We opened the pool and the diagnostics showed 1500 ppm for salt. The intellichlor also showed "low salt". I used the pool calculator to determine we...

We had our pool installed last year. We've had grout issues since it was installed and are looking to have it re-done. We have an expansion joint behind our grout stones filled with caulk (not sure what is underneath the caulk), coping stones with cracking and shrunken grout between each stone...

I need some help. Our pool was built last fall and we have noticed there is a problem with the gasket between the steps and the liner on both sets of steps. There are a bunch of pieces of rubber in this area. However, there is a light blue one that has come loose and also appears to be...

Well, it was bound to happen. One month into our first swimming season, our 1 year old had diarrhea in his swim diaper and next thing I know, little fuzzy brown stuff is floating around me. :| We just added the bleach to shock the pool, but was wondering - provided it passes the overnight...

I did my tests yesterday morning. For the first time, I got a CC reading of 1. My FC has been pretty stable around 4.5 for the past few weeks. Free CL - 4.5 Comb CL - 1 PH - 7.4 Total Alk - 80 CYA - 65 I was worried about the CC so I tested again last night. This time, my FC was at 6 and my...

Can any of you pool builders tell me an approximate price differential between 6 foot and 8 foot steps?

We have a Sonos audio system. We have some outdoor Bose speakers driven by the Connect:AMP, but they are over by the patio and deck and we want to leave them there. We just happen to have a Play:3 that we aren't really using anymore inside and rather than get ANOTHER Connect:AMP and more outdoor...

Probably the dumbest question ever, but what is the difference between the two weights that show on the pool calculator? volume vs. weight?

It's too cold to swim yet, but we are new pool owners (new pool completed last fall) so we are trying to learn early while we can. Here's the results I got from the Taylor 2006 test kit: Free CL - .5 Comb CL - .5 PH - 7.4 Total Alk - 50 Calc Hardness - 130 Cyanuric acid - 0? According to our...

We have a new pool (completed late last fall) and we don't know much about what we're doing, so we have a few posts at the moment. We have four step jets (is that what they're called?) - one on each side of our two sets of steps. One jet is turning fast on each set of steps, but the other jet...

We have a new pool completed late last fall. We opened it a few weeks ago and it is now clean and in pretty good shape - though not warm enough for swimming. We have the pump set to run at low speed 24 hrs per day until we get through the messy spring season here. We have tried several schedules...
