    Hayward H400ED2 - SF Code

    Hi everyone, We haven't tried using the heater since we inherited the pool with the house we just purchased. There was never a guarantee the heater worked, just the rest of the equipment. It's a Hayward H400ED2 electric ignition from 2004. When I tried turning it on, it gave an SF error. I...

    Z-Wave / Vera / Smartthings Pool Temperature - Solved

    Others and I have been asking if we could somehow see our pool temperatures using a smart home controller. I wanted to let the group know that I can confirm at least one configuration that works well. I have a Smartthings hub (v2) but apparently this works with Vera too. Not Wink, from what...

    Surprised at the lack of zigbee devices for pool temperature

    My setup is fairly standard with no automation (other than the traditional Intermatic timer). I've thought about replacing the timer with something Smartthings compatible but since I'm adding chlorine by hand, the pump does its thing at night and all is well. I don't see a benefit for it...

    Yes/No checklist for using garden shed storage

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting a small resin garden shed to put near the pool. It's a bit of a pain to trudge to the garage to get brushes, toys, the test kit, chemicals, the pool robot, etc. However, northwest Ohio still gets warm in the summer (nearly a week and a half of high 80s and...

    Over-the-phone order recommendation for S300i/Active 30i?

    I've selected the Dolphin S300i or Active 30i (same machine) as my robot master. However the closest dealer is 70 miles away. Ordering online obviously negates the warranty so I'm looking for your experiences with ordering over the phone. Obviously I'm okay with paying shipping. I would...

    Hayward 1 HP Super Pump burning out.. replace motor, replace pump, other?

    We've been running our pump 24/7 having come back from a lot of traveling and opening the very pool late. We just finished getting everything stabilized but the pump has been very loud. Just yesterday it started to get even louder and smell. I noticed the label getting a little brown. I'm...

    Bought a house, came with a pool and a cat.

    Hi all, Just joined the forum. This is an incredible resource and I will certainly be a supporter soon. I'm essentially hoping to get "what's next" kind of help or discovering where I've already gone wrong. We recently purchased a house and it included a nice pool. Conceptually, anyway...
