    Relay Equipment Manager (nodejs-poolController sister app) seems broken on latest RPI OS

    Just knowing that they weren't going to address it would be helpful. I don't want to invest time if they plan to do it at some point. I'm working fine with Bullseye, so I'm not in a hurry.

    Relay Equipment Manager (nodejs-poolController sister app) seems broken on latest RPI OS

    Tagyoureit said he was looking into way back Jan 16. He pinged @rstrouse for help. I haven't seen anything since then. I posted again a couple days ago, still nothing. That's why I thought I'd try here.

    Relay Equipment Manager (nodejs-poolController sister app) seems broken on latest RPI OS

    Pretty sure it's the OS, not the rpi hardware. You can tell what version you're running by using the cmd cat /etc/os-release It works fine on Bullseye, not on Bookworm. I think the way REM writes to GPIO is now obsolete--at least that's the way I interpret this thread: Stop using...

    Relay Equipment Manager (nodejs-poolController sister app) seems broken on latest RPI OS

    This year, I figured I update the RPIs on my pool automation. I LOVE nodejs-poolController and Relay Equipment Manager. But, it seems that Relay Equipment Manager won't work on Bookworm OS, at least for the GPIO I'm using for the flow switch input, chlorine pump output, and acid pump output...

    Use Intellichem tank mounted pump on larger tank

    Stenner says no, the pumps on Intellichem are integrated into the tank assembly.

    Use Intellichem tank mounted pump on larger tank

    I'd like to get a larger tank so when I'm out for a month in July, the chlorine won't get depleted. I'd like to get something where I can just remove the pump from the Intellichem tank and move it to the new tank. Based on the pump tube replacements I've purchased over the years, I'm thinking...

    Stenner Pump not Pumping

    Finally got it off. Just kept working round the shaft applying lots of pressure. Finally it just popped off all at once. New roller assemble fixed the problem! Looks like they are over $60. I might be able to punch the shafts out of the assembly an replace the rollers with 3d printed ones...

    Stenner Pump not Pumping

    Actually, it's the inside hole that has enlarged over time. There's a lot of wobble and that would explain why the roller might not pinch the tube as tight as it should. I forgot I had a spare--but so far I can't get the roller assembly off the pump shaft. It looks like it should just pull...

    Stenner Pump not Pumping

    Process of elimination says it's gotta be the rollers. I'm not hooked to an injector and suction side is just inserted into a jug of acid. And, I can blow through the tube with no problem. Also, if I cover the other end when I blow, air doesn't escape, so there's no leak. Besides--same...

    Stenner Pump not Pumping

    Not that, because same tubing, same everything except different pump. Reading the thread, thanks!

    Stenner Pump not Pumping

    The pump motor runs and the rollers are squeezing the tube, but no acid is pumped. I thought I just needed a replacement pump tube--that's been the solution in the past. I put the same pump tube on the adjacent stenner pump (along with attached tubing) that's used to dose chlorine and it...

    Tubing for plumbing Intellichem Flow Cell

    I need to move my Intellichem flow cell/probe holder. The rubber tubing the water in/out isn't long enough. Is it 3/8"? Can I get it locally at Lowe's?

    What size stenner pump tube for Intellichem?

    Thanks for that. There are some "pump tubes" on that list. After posting, I realized what I have is tank mounted pumps instead of what's show in the Intellichem manual. I'm not sure if they are the same. I'm going to ask the pump tube retailer to measure the length of what they offer and...

    What size stenner pump tube for Intellichem?

    I need to order some new tubes for the chlorine pump in my Intellichem system. I can't read the P/N on the old tube. I've order the wrong ones in the past (they were too long), so I'm hoping someone can tell me which size is correct. Thanks!

    Stenner Pump Question

    I'm confident the tube is not curling up inside the tank--I take care to prevent that. But, I didn't know about "Stenner weights". On Amazon, I see one that has a strainer and another that just has a clip. Do you have a recommendation for which to get?

    Stenner Pump Question

    Just ordered! I'm using 5 gallon containers for chlorine tanks, with the 1/4" black tube just inserted into a hole a the top of the container. If there's a leak in the tubing that's usually beneath the chlorine level, that would explain a lot. Normally, when I need to bleed again, I switch...

    Stenner Pump Question

    The O.D. on my black tubing is 1/4". I didn't see a comparable flow meter for 1/4". Maybe there is suitable 3/8" to 1/4" reducer?

    Stenner Pump Question

    Also, should the tubing diameter I order for the flow indicators be based on the inside diameter or outside diameter of the black non-transparent UV tubing that came with the Intellichem?

    Stenner Pump Question

    Thanks! I'll check the input side tubes for leaks and replace if necessary. How does the flow indicator work? Does the little white ball bounce up and down while dosing? So, if it's not dosing, the ball doesn't bounce?

    Stenner Pump Question

    I have an Intellichem. It has Stenner pumps for dosing chlorine and acid. I think the pumps it uses are 45MP2. These are rated to 25 psi. The pumps regularly see over 30 psi. I frequently have to bleed air out of the chlorine dosing line. I don't know why. I've replaced the injectors and...

    Brighter Nicheless Lights--Jandy Watercolors?

    Some additional design considerations that are important. Number 1--thermal management. Getting a heatsink water coupled would be the #1 thing that could be done to improve LED light reliability/life. I saw at least one nicheless that did that. Might make waterproofing more of a challenge...

    Brighter Nicheless Lights--Jandy Watercolors?

    My pool has SRSmith Treo nicheless color LED lights. I've never been happy with how bright they are. Two have a failed LED. I could buy replacement lamps for them for around $80 each. But, maybe now is the time to upgrade to something brighter. I found the Jandy Pro Series. That line...
