    OmniLogic and Heat Pump show different temperatures

    My Hayward Heatpump shows a temperature about 7 degrees lower than what the OmniLogic app/pad show. When I measure the actual water temp, it falls right in between the two. Does anyone know what might be going on? Omni controls the heat pump just fine.

    Hayward S244t Pressure Gauge Replacement

    I have a Hayward S244t sand filter and I need to replace my pressure gauge (needle stuck behind the pin). Everything I've read/watched says that you have to release the air prior to taking off the gauge, and then after turning the pump back on wait till water shoots out and then close the...

    Do I have dead algae

    I actually did this last night. Turned off my SWG overnight and it looked like the FC went down about 1, maybe 2 (was 3-4 originally). This morning I dumped a gallon of liquid chlorine in and the FC is over 10. I also turned the SWG back on. Should I do this again tonight?

    Do I have dead algae

    I opened my pool 2 weeks ago and over the last week I’ve been getting brown spots on the floor of the pool. It also tends to collect at the seams of the vinyl liner. I will brush it and it dissolves instantly, but just keeps coming back sometimes an hour or two after brushing. My pool water...

    Switch from HeatPump to Natural Gas Heater

    Clearance wise I think I’m ok. I’m not so worried about the blower if I’m not running it at night.

    Switch from HeatPump to Natural Gas Heater

    This will be my 3rd season with the pool. The past two years, I’ve pretty much just kept the heat pump off during the summer and swam. I’ve tried turning it on during the day some but I won’t keep it on at night because it’s outside my bedroom, which I think defeats the purpose. I’m thinking...

    Switch from HeatPump to Natural Gas Heater

    My price of natural gas per ccf is 0.71902. My price of electric per kwh .0447 (although I think this may be doubling soon). If I'm understanding everything correctly, the price to run a 250k BTU gas heater for an hour would be about $1.80, this seems pretty cheap but I don't know how to...

    Switch from HeatPump to Natural Gas Heater

    Has anyone ever switched from a heat pump to a natural gas heater and been disappointed with the switch? My pool builder is replacing my Hayward Heat Pump after they messed up the winterization, and I'm thinking of switching to the H250 Natural Gas heater. I'm in Southeastern Ohio area, and...

    PH monitor/dispenser with Hayward VS Omni

    I have a Hayward VS Omni automation system with Salt and was wondering if there is a pH monitor/chemical dispenser compatible with it. It looks like the Sense and Dispense systems may only work with the more involved Omni systems.

    Heat Pump scheduling

    I'm in Ohio, and this is my first year with my new pool. Right now temps are getting into the low 40's overnight, but are hitting the mid 70's some days, including this weekend. I haven't been turning my heatpump on when I'm not planning on swimming, but this weekend looks good. I was going...

    Cleaning salt cell - drainage

    The SWCG is above the pool water level. I had the suction/return lines closed anyway. So it's just the sand filter draining?

    Cleaning salt cell - drainage

    My Salt cell is oriented horizontally pretty much on the ground. When I removed it (with the pump off and ball valves in front of the pump off) it was draining for 20-30 minutes. I was starting to get worried so I put the salt cell back on. Is this normal? Is there something i can buy to cap...

    Temperature bouncing VS Omni

    So I have my HeatPump hooked up to my VS Omni system, and it's kicking on/off constantly, and the water temp reading are bouncing up and down. I have the HP set to 84, but I've pretty much never seen the temp just sit at 84 (which I think is what should be happening), has anyone else seen...

    Spot Cleaning

    I have a 40x18 Vinyl liner pool, this is my first year with it since installing last fall. I've found that my Dolphin Active30i does a pretty good job, but leaves a bunch of sand on the corners

    Heatpump issues with VS Omni

    http://haywarddocs.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2012-Heat-Pump-TSG.pdf The soft button presses on page 6 of this document ended up solving the problem. I saw this earlier, but didn't realize i was on the Summit Platform.

    Heatpump issues with VS Omni

    This is a new pool, and it's the first time I fired on the HP. I talked to my installer today and he thinks that the issue is that the HP came out of remote mode. The breaker to the HP was turned off while some electric work was being done, not sure if that would be the cause. He's supposed...

    Heatpump issues with VS Omni

    So my heatpump is working, but it is completely unsynchronized with my VS Omni automation system. Omni and the heater reflect different water temperatures, if i change the temperature on either the heatpump or the omni, the other one doesn't change. Turning the heatpump on or off from Omni...

    ColorLogic lights with Omni

    Had my installer finish up my VS Omni programming yesterday, he reprogrammed everything which fixed some issues with the ColorLogic lights not being the right color. I was under the impression that all ColorLogic 4.0 lights support the OmniDirect mode to give you 10 colors, etc. My lights are...

    ColorLogic lights with Omni

    Thanks... I'll try messing around with the 11-13 seconds power off, I don't think the snub is my issue because these are 120V lights. I'm pretty sure they configured some things incorrectly in my omni, apparently I'm a guinea pig on automation for them.

    ColorLogic lights with Omni

    So for 1, it's somewhere in the config? I've tried hitting synchronize in the app, and it doesn't appear to do anything (other then say it's synchronizing).

    ColorLogic lights with Omni

    Had our pool put in last fall, and I ended up having them switch out the single speed pump with a VS Omni system this spring. It's still a bit of an ongoing process, but anyways, they just got the lights hooked up yesterday and I'm trying to figure out if what they are doing is normal behavior...

    When to turn on heater?

    So in other words, just turn it on, set it, and forget it. And keep the solar cover on over night.

    When to turn on heater?

    So it won't run if the air temp is too low? I just want to make sure I'm not spending money to heat if it's not going to work because the air temp is too low.

    When to turn on heater?

    I thought I read that it needed to be at least 50 degrees for an electric heater would be efficient. The lows are never going to get above 50, so I wasn't sure. So is the idea I just turn it on right away and then turn it off once the air temp is over 84 consistently? And then turn it back on...
