Honestly I'm not sure how long this has been this way, and it's not leaking air or water, but I want to keep it from getting worse obviously. Any thoughts?

Tucson AZ. The home of high calcium tap water and rapid evaporation... I am trying to decide if I need to do a partial drain and refill. Salt pool, 21000gal, pebble finish, built 7 years ago. FC 3 TC 4 Temp 85 PH 7.4 TA 40ppm CH 675ppm CYA 30ppm I've never had a problem keeping the LSI -.3 to...

Hey all, I need some thoughts on replacing some failed LED lights. My pool was built by one of the big AZ pool builders about 7 years ago. They used BlueSquare Spectrum 360 color LED's for the pool and spa. I have 3 of these altogether. I'm pretty disappointed as I don't run these lights super...

I've been noticing that I have air in the pump basket over the past few weeks. I didn't think too much of it as I haven't replaced the lid o-rings for 3 years now. Being the off season and the pool always covered with the blanket, my suction valve is set to full main-drain. I don't run the...

So yesterday I come out to the pool and I can't turn on the pump for the spa nor the one for the waterfall. (2 different pumps) Go to the control panel and each pump has a 240V GFCI breaker, both are tripped. I have some contractors working on the home, and thought maybe one of their tools is...

My kids love diving for pennies. However, I noticed that they are small enough to go into the slots of the main drain return. If they get into the return plumbing, will the water flow be able to push them to the pump basket?

I recently purchased a new T15 cell for my Aquarite. The reason I purchased a new cell was my old one kept flashing check cell and low salt warnings. I did have it tested at my local store and it tested ok on the Hayward test unit at 2 stores. I didn’t completely trust the testing though so I...

I've never really understood how this is set up and works. Is there a good tutorial on configuring the Easytouch/Screenlogic panel and circuits? I don't really understand why under the Screenlogic setup the Pool Low is configured as Pool Circuit, Spa as Spa circuit, Spillway as Spillway but Pool...

I have a fairly new (4 years old) Helicol solar system on my flat roof. It's time to get the roof recoated and I want to have the roof coated under the panels. However, none of the roofing companies I've talked to want to touch them. Honestly they aren't difficult to take apart and get back...

I've seen a few messages on here from them, but no real experiences from members. Does anyone have experience with their CP-15 replacement cells? -J

Just yesterday my SWG system took a dump. What do these diagnostic numbers mean to you? Over the past 2 weeks or so I have noticed my Salt number go from 3100 gradually lower and lower every couple days. Last week the Aquarite read 2600. I have verified pool salt concentration with a Taylor drop...

Follow another post of mine and you'll hear about me frying my Pentair ScreenLogic Wireless interface. After pricing a new one at $150-$200 I decided to come up with a cheaper solution. I moved the protocol adapter inside the easytouch panel and bought a wireless bridge for under $20. Everything...

I know there is plenty of A/C in there, but I need to add an A/C adapter inside the panel itself to power a 5VDC USB adapter. I just want to see if anyone has done it and what you used. I can easily wire in a cut up extension cord, but it would be pretty. I guess I'm looking for anyone who has...

Just out of curiosity, is it an on off cycle cycle type thing, like 50% being on 30 seconds off 30 seconds, or is it a current based level? -J

I have an easytouch with screenlogic. My solar temp sensor is about 7-10 degrees off, likely due to the long run of the wiring. I see in screenlogic that there is a way to set a correction for the pool temp and air temp sensors. No way that I can see to do the same for the solar temp sensor. Is...

Time for my yearly solar cover purchase. Anyone find any super deals out there? Looking for 16x30

Moved from here. Anyone have any further info on these things? I personally would give up some efficiency for less salt content in the pool. JamesW made an interesting comment in post #6 regarding lowering the salt concentration in the pool and setting a t-15 cell to a T9 in the software on the...

I have a Pentair VS system with sand filter for a 21k inground pool with in floor cleaning. The in-floor runs 3-4 nozzels at a time. I also have rooftop solar. Since the pool was new, if the VS is running full tilt (pool high or spa activated) my system pressure measured at the sand filter is...

So I have a generic T-Cell15 on my pool. When it was new last year, it registered 3400 on the Aquarite display with 3400ppm accurately tested with a testkit. So now the cell is 16 months old now, and I started to notice the chlorine level in the pool going down. Checked the controller and it...

I have a 21k gal pebble pool that is now on it's 2nd full year. SWG for chlorine. From the beginning I have been keeping my TA in the 110ppm range. I typically have to add 1/2 gallon 30% muratic acid per week to keep the PH in the 7.4-7.8 range. I went on vacation for 2 weeks, and since no one...

I have been fighting screenlogic all morning. My Android phones and my MAC would connect, but I could not get windows to do anything other than bring up the login screen. After updating the protocol adapter (twice) playing with compatibility settings, uninstalling and reinstalling several times...

I am having an issue with that I think may be screen logic related. Every week or so, my system completely looses circuit#2 which I have configured for pool high. The button will still be in screen logic, but the screen logic config will be blank for circuit in the intelliflo setup. This...

Just wondering what everyone is paying for acid? My pool store just raised prices... 4gal 35% for $21.

So my pool builder installed a 3rd party led color changing light system and wired it into my EasyTouch as a basic on/off feature. This is fine, but they say it can't be controlled specifically under the light section of my screenlogic. To change the color or mode, you need to cycle on/off the...

Does anyone know what all of the o-ring sizes are for a 2" pentair valve? I want to rebuild mine and the hardware store up the street sells o-rings for peanuts. Figure it's much cheaper than buying a kit. -J

how does everyone set their suction percentage between the skimmer and main drain? 50/50, 75 skimmer/25 drain, 75 drain/25 skimmer? Since my pool was built it's been set to about 75 on the main drain (approx estimation based on the 3 way valve. We actually get a lot of blowing dust and debris...

I have several umbrella sleeves in my patio, and I'm annoyed that they hold water. Has anyone drilled a small hole in the bottom to let them drain?

Does anyone have experience controlling a hayward aquarite with pentair intellitouch? On page6 of the aquarite manual, it says it can be remotely controled with intellitouch. Refrences that fact again on page 8. Then on page 13 it shows a connection diagram on how to connect the control bus...

I am researching putting a swg on my pool and i am a little annoyed at the cost of pentair units and the fact that they dont seem to be rebhildable. So id like to know if anyone has used a Hayward swg on a pentair intellitouch system and what are the drawbacks? -J

I am going to add an IC60 to my current intellitouch system with screen logic that was installed last year. I'm wondering what I need to purchase exactly... I obviously need the IC60, but do I need some sort of external power supply as well or is this already built into my intellitouch? Thanks! -J
