Agree with everyone else above! I run mine sort of middle of the road on tpf app suggestions. Currently running at 8.5ppm (was 8 last week) I test weekly now that I’m dialed in. One week start of summer the pool heated up quickly and lost 2-3ppm that week. So I always give myself a good...

gotcha! If there is no timer or automation then 24 hours is it! looks like if it has been at 10-11 all summer, then it is set to the right setting. A swg will maintain FC if it’s set correctly, it’ll increase FC if set too high, and you will loose FC if it’s set too low. Now that you’ve had it...

Do you plan on continuing a 24 hour run time? Or would you like to run the pump less? what was the FC prior to the FC going up? You stated it was running at 40% but was too high-how quickly did it drift up? (Example if it drifted up 1ppm per day-you know you can set it to create 1ppm less) I...

Hardware stores and Walmart are my go to stores for 10% liquid chlorine. Walmart brand is pool essentials near the garden center. Usually stored inside and fresh Julian codes so not highly degraded. ($3.65 a gallon) Home Depot/Lowe’s usually have 2 or three packs and vary whether stored inside...

You can add chlorine at any time of day-and during a SLAM should do so several times a day to ensure FC is never below the minimum level. The advantage of nightly additions is there is no breakdown of chlorine from UV. But you need chlorine to stay high in a SLAM even during the day-so add away...

Bump for more eyes!

We built our pool late last summer, and added a saltwater generator this February. Since then, I've battled pH and have been trying to avoid scale. While I don't have scale on the tiles yet, I am seeing this darkening of the grout in between our glass tiles. The dry grout is usually the lighter...

I use the daughter board with the omnihub and cannot see those readings using the app-just the average salt reading. I believe this to be a difference in the omnihub vs full OmniLogic. I can control on/off and percentage from the app-so that functionality works for my needs. not sure if that...

They are pretty common around here and no issues or liability waivers required. Love ours and our neighbors kick themselves for not adding it!

My UV is also connected directly to my pump-however it is flow controlled. So at lower pump speeds the UV system turns off. Mine has an indicator light when it on so it’s very easy to tell when the flow stops tripping the flow sensor. It’s happened to be around 28% pump speed. Perhaps just...

I also have the same errors. Thanks to TFP forums for at least letting me know it’s not just my system! I hope Hayward gets it resolved in short order.

All options are not listed on the cover of the touch pad. Using the omnihub installation manual, go to page 49 where it describes the quick edit feature. Follow through to edit to add chlorinator which is listed under "chemistry' on page 52. Quickly the steps are: Config wizard edit current...

Check the operations manual (rather than install) as it might have pics to walk you through. But.... you have to go into the configuration wizard using the touch screen and add the SWG on as a “chlorinator” option. Once I did that-it all worked beautifully. As an aside-myself and another...

FWIW-I just triple checked and my touchpad also does not show diagnostics. I have to go to the SWG control box directly to get additional info.

Update: got it figured out. Had to go into configuration and tell it there was a spillover on the spa. Once I switched the answer to “yes” the option appeared. It automatic knew which actuator to turn. (Not sure why the PB didn’t configure this but oh well). Thanks!

Yeah-this was my fear. I’m gonna play with it today. It does reference in the omnihub “operations” manual that it’s possible. But I’ve learned that since omnihub is just a stripped down OmniLogic that some of the manuals reference features incorrectly. what are your thought on a low trickle...

Agreed-and I’m not sure why. It uses the same daughter board-but for some reason doesn’t provide the same outputs to the app. Either that or I have the same “bad install” as the OP, which is always possible! My PB said it wasn’t possible at all with the omnihub-so I was just glad I was able to...

Marty- thanks, I’ve read through this and don’t see specifically the spillover valve setup. I’m going to go into service mode and check under the SPA “body of water” setup to see if I can find it and report back.

Yes-we have a variable speed pump so should be set. I just can’t figure out how to control the valve actuators in my omnihub automation!

I can confirm with this is also how the app functions for me with the Omnihub. There is very little info available in diagnostics, but the ability to change percentage from the app works flawlessly. I believe functionality increases with OmniLogic version and omnihub uses the same app so we have...

Hi Jimmy, Exactly! I would like to close down my “bypass or makeup” and get less aeration. Then I could program spa circulation on a schedule instead of all day. I could do that now with just pool or spa schedule, but was curious if I could also have a spillover mode given my automation. Here...

Hi all- We have the Omni hub automation that comes with the VS Hayward pump. We’ve been able to control quite a lot of automation with that little system and so far are pleased. However, the one thing I can’t seem to figure out is IF it can be programmed for a spillover mode. We currently...

We love our silver travertine coping! We also have a similar plaster-but went with blue glass tile. Love the look! Happy pool build!

PB will fix-doesn't look too bad actually. I've seen worse where the collapse causes the rebar to buckle.

We opened our pool in August of last summer-so this is probably an effect of opening a 20,000 gallon pool in 100 degree weather. However, for much of the first month open pool opening-we were pouring a gallon of 10% liquid bleach in DAILY. That amount raises our pool volume by 5ppm chlorine...
