Great! Thanks!

We don't have any times. We do this at different times every day. And if we are not home one day or the weather is bad, the pool is not running at all. Just the way we prefer it.

Our pad/load center is a few feet from the pump and the pad has all the gfci breakers (no lock on cabinet).

Thank you. Just what I wanted to know. I assume the same is true for the SWG, right? It also has an on/off button on its control panel. Thanks again!

Thanks again. Yes, the control panel/pad is next to the pump. This is all outdoors. I do not intend to use the breakers as on/off switches as I plan on using the on/off buttons on the SWG and pump (pump has its own control panel on it). But that is what this thread is about. I assume it is...

Thanks! I actually have a T104 NIB on my desk that I might use if needed. But I forgot to mention one key thing: We prefer to control our pool manually as we have a very irregular schedule. Our ideal routine is like this: In the morning we go out and clear the pool and check that everything is...

We are getting a CircuPool RJ-60 SWG and a CircuPool VS pump installed for our pool. We will be putting them on separate gfci breakers on our panel. But do we need swtiches (one switch for the pump and one for the SWG)? Or is it OK to wire them directly to their gfci breakers? We will hire an...

Just wanted to say thanks again. We just got a VS pump. :)

Great! Thank you. Just want I wanted to know. Makes sense to go bigger when it comes to VS then if the price difference fits in the budget.

So, if we decide to go VS... We currently have a single-speed pump that is rated at 1.5 HP and 2.4 THP (that just quit working). As mentioned, it seems to be a bit too strong for our system so having a variable speed indeed makes sense for us in many ways. The question is, what size VS to get...

Good point regarding 1S vs VS. I actually see that some VS pumps has controls on the pump so that would work if we replace the whole pump (motor and housing).

Thanks! Yes, a VS motor would be great. Unfortunately our control panel stopped working early this season so we are going old-school with a basic timer as prices were just crazy to replace what we had (>$5K!). And we never really used those features much anyway. So the motor is going to have to...

Hi, We have a Hayward WSP3215EE pool pump for our pool (25K). If we want to replace the motor, what motor do you suggest to use and where to get it? Our pump stopped working (humming but not turning) and we are going to try and manually turn the impeller too see if that helps. If not, perhaps a...

Bingo! This is what we have been looking for. Thank you!

Perfect! Did not see that button!

Thank you! Looks great! Will have to check my wifi signal level at that location if I go with this one as it seems to not have any buttons for manual operation in case wifi is weak at times. Thanks! If anyone knows of a non-wifi model that fits the bill, please share that here also. Thank you all!

Great ideas. Any links or brand/models you can share? Our pump is wired for 240V so a timer that handles 240V and a 1.5 HP pump load is all we need. Our alternative is to add a manual switch on the panel for the pump. Having a timer with an automatic off would be nice though. Thus, a link to a...

We are replacing our pool automation system and are thinking to using a simple timer for the pump this time. Does anyone know if there is a timer (panel mounted, outdoors) that can be used for turning the pump OFF at a certain time without using any ON settings at all? We always turn the pump...

Thank you all. Lots of great information. Will take it in. It all makes sense!

Our pool automation system (Hayward/Aqualogic) seems to have stopped working for good so we are looking to upgrade to a more modern system. Our salt-cell is also due for replacement so we are not tied to a brand. What are your recommendations for a non-dealer installed system that a local...

Thanks for the extra information. I did some more measurements and there is continuity all the way from the yellow, thru the fuse to the leg of the K1 relay. That relay is also connected to an orange wire (no continuity). The other orange wire is wired to the other yellow so there is continuity...

Hi, We have an Aqualogic controller for our saltwater pool. A few years ago we had the dreaded salt cell - no power error message/failure. We were able to fix that by re-soldering the relay on the main board as had been mentioned online. However, this time the whole system seems to lack power...

That is awesome! Can you please share details on how/when you closed it?

Awesome! Thank you for the heads up!

I have a couple of neverlube Jandy shut-off valves that have 2"/2.5" connections (2-port). Currently the connecting pipes connect to the inside of the valves (2"). If I remove these valves, can I re-use them by connecting the pipes on the outside instead (2.5")? Any downsides in doing that? Or...

Thank you so much for this information!!! We had this problem happen to us just before closing last season and had no idea what the reason was. But after reading this thread we decided to try and fix it on our own this spring. We also put together a step-by-step guide so we know the steps if it...

This is a common problem on the AquaLogic units. We actually did this repair on our unit too and we put together a step-by-step guide on how to do it so we don't forget it if it ever happens again. Here is a link to our guide if you are interested...

Great inputs! Thank you guys!

] Brilliant! Yes, that would solve it! We have an issue with our floor system and we need to find out where a blockage is. If I know in what section it is, I will need to do less digging... Thank you!

Hi, Yes, this is a newbie question.... If I have a PVC pipe that is fixed (assume it is in the ground) and I want to cut off 4 inch to inspect the pipe on the inside (looking for location of a blockage), how do I put it back together again? What do I need in addition to the 4 inch piece I will...
