Hi James, I left it on superchlorinate the other day and just checked it today and its working now on auto. It must have needed sometime to reset or something. I cut the pump off and waited a while then turned it back on and its still working in auto mode so I guess I best not to touch it. if it...

Thanks James I'll try this.

Hi Guys, This is a strange one. The generating light and power light are on. Both green. I have changed the board, the display PCB and the cell. We are getting 28V. Now when turned on the amps drop to 0. However when superchlorinate is turned on the amps go to 5. When switched back to auto...

your cya is too low. if you added it via the skimmer it would go into the filter and dissolve fast. Like within 48hrs (run pump 24/7) you should have a reading. cya needs to be 60-80 also pump run time affects fc level. maybe increase that for a few days to get fc level up. I like to run pumps...

I'm having a problem with an ecostar with svrs. I'm getting: "svrs not available" and pump wont turn on. it just counts down the 3 min prime. is there anyway to run this pump without svrs? Any info is much appreciated. Thanks! 8-)

Hi Guys, been surfing and came across this thread. I'm having a same sort of problem with an ecostar with svrs. I'm getting: "svrs not available" and pump wont turn on. it just counts down the 3 min prime. so there is not way to run this pump without svrs? Thanks in advance!

You can just wait and the pH will rise on its own as the TA is high. Once you are not adding CYA just let the SWG run and pH will drift up on its own.

Thanks Jason. Yes I was thinking this cell must be worn out. That solar pump running all day. Much appreciate the help. 8-)

Hi Guys, Got this AutoPilot swg showing 32v's and 1.6 amps The error flashing is "low amps". This cell has been running for 5 years with a solar powered pump which turns on at sunrise and off at sunset every day. Do you think this cell has come to the end of its life? Many thanks for any...

Thanks Tcat.

Hi Guys, Looking for something really simple. Looking for an acid feeder that can siphon from a 1 gallon bottle of acid. Something we can manually adjust amount of acid. Not interested in getting into sensing but prefer to maually check pH and manually adjust an acid feeder. Are there any...

wow well this is weird. I've been servicing this pool for 2+ years and pH and TA has always been locked. Then TA goes way high. We have been topping up the water as we normally would. Went and tested the fill water today and the TA is 370!! so this is the cause. dont know what changed with the...

Thanks Dave. We have the a/c guys coming back today to blow out the tubes/coils..I'm guessing this pressure sensor is in the coils and could be dirty with scale. Just guessing. I don't know much about the inside of these heaters. Will let them check the pressure sensor. Thanks again. 8-)

yes checked it. we use an a/c guy to repair these. on an island. no support from hayward service dept. I'm thinking a sensor also but the a/c guys checked that. will recheck with them. Thanks!

Thanks. Yes already read this. Backwashed the filter. We have good return from the jets so cant be flow.

Hi guys, got a heat pump and when it starts up the fan runs for like 5 seconds and then cuts off. The error is: HI Anyone have any idea why the fan cuts off? Everything inside seems to be ok. Had an a/c guys check it out. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks! 8-)

welcome to the forums. lots of great advice here. yeah when the clothes are washed with it. has baking soda in it. testing the fill water friday. always been so busy never have a chance to but need to test it.. thanks for the replies. 8-)

I will check fill water next time I'm there. weird how it could just jump so high. also will talk with owners to see if fill water is city or well and if they are using Arm & Hammer or not. Have a couple pools like this. Thanks!

You will need more flow to activate the swg. also at least with the hayward systems to get a correct salt reading you need to have these running at least around 1,500+ rpm. we run the VS's at around 1,800. this also works out good for the heat pumps.

We have a couple pools where the TA was around 70 and the pH never moved then one day the TA is up at around 160. Could all this TA rise come from just fill water? I'm thinking it could be the baking soda in the Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent? Maybe the swimwear is not being properly rinsed when...

Great thanks for the info! 8-) will bookmark that link and will try some of the suggestions. yes our fill water is not good. with new plaster it would be best to fill with clean water from a water truck instead of our city water. Much appreciate the reply. 8-)

no soldering. just unscrew 2 screws and disconnect phone line.. yes bahamas. we install hayward salt systems and manage salt chlorinated pools. we dont clean pools. just manage.

its he display controller on top of the pump. its real easy to replace.

its he display controller on top of the pump. its real easy to replace.

It was actually the digital control interface. replaced it with another one I had. working great..touch wood!

is the spa connected/overflowing into the pool? what do you mean by 9% chlorine and 60% chlorine? one salt system chlorinating both the spa and pool? is your salt level (24 hr reading) 2,400? why are you getting high salt reading? you would get that if you put a lot of salt in at once. give it...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if in your area does this happen. Please see pic. I haven't seen a pool on the island without some white discoloration. Some pools look much worst than this one we did. We removed the old surface and acid washed before applying blue quartz. we mixed it with purified...

Just about every week I have to reset the timeclock. the time clock keeps losing time and I have to reset it. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm so tired of these pumps! Thanks.

Thanks for the info Mark. I should be ok to use the control panel readings to see if cell is bad. I carry a Taylor salt test to double check salt readings. Thanks again.. :goodjob:
