Years ago, I upgraded my old Compool CP3800 control panel with the EasyTouch upgrade. I've also had issues with the EasyTouch board being sensitive to voltage spikes during storms, causing me to have to replace the upgrade board a couple of times. Even though I installed a surge protector in...

I'm running on a Pentair Compool to Easytouch 8 upgrade controller. Last winter the valve actuators would only operate when I opened the control panel door. The installer left a lot of cable wadded up in there - I looked everywhere for a short but didn't find anything obvious. Now, it seems...

When I put my my newish (<2 years old) Pentair VF pump into high speed for vacuuming today, it began blowing a lot of air from around the motor somewhere. I couldn't pinpoint it, but it seems to be coming from somewhere under the control display box. I do not see any water leaks anywhere. I'm...

Apologies if this has been addressed, but as a victim of the big Texas freeze and having had to replace all my pool equipment as a result… Common sense would tell me to set for high RPMs, but as the new owner of a variable speed pump, what is the best practice for running in freeze mode...

So, some time back, I upgraded my Pentair Compool box with the Easytouch 8 upgrade, and all was well. This panel upgrade kept the Compool Cp3400 transformer panel. Recently, I replaced the single speed pump with an Intelliflow VSF. While I have an initial program working to turn the filter...

I'm having to re-do my pad after The Big Chill here in Texas, and am shopping for PVC. Almost all the schedule 40 I see has printing, barcodes, etc. which I don't want. The shiny, unmarked, UV resistant sch. 40 stuff that I've found is not NSF rated (I've read this this rating is important for...

For several weeks, I've been unable to log into PoolCloud from my iPad. The reset password option doesn't work, either. I see similar posts on the PoolCloud Facebook page, with no response from the developer. Is it defunct? Anyone else been using this and having issues? is there a better...

I want to add some electronics out at the equipment pad, and will need to plug in the power adapter somewhere. I was thinking about adding a DIN outlet to the rail inside my Compool enclosure, which should house everything nicely. Has anyone done this, and if so, have you had any issues? On a...

Is it me, or does the pool act up during the most inclement weather..? Had a cold snap here, and when the spa took its turn during a freeze protection cycle, the spa drained down (level to the pool's water line). I turned the spa off and back into pool mode, and the spa fills up in short...

I started the summer off with a new Taylor DPD-FAS test kit (K-2006). As the summer wore on, I started to need refills on some of them, so I oredered Taylor reagents in larger quantities frm Amazon, and refilled the bottles in the kit, as needed. Prior to refilling the R-0871 chlorine reagent...
