That's what I was thinking, thanks for confirming!

I don't remember if I winterized my heater last year. I feel like I did, and I think what that consisted of is turning gas off to the heater and then pulling the drain plug allowing the plastic part on the right side of the heater, where the input & output are connected to, to drain. That...

Yeah PS is fine until robot gets involved. Great response, thank you. I’ll register for warranty in the morning if it’s not too late.

It only trips when I turn on the robot. Is a flooded motor box user fixable if my warranty is expired?

it’s about 15 months old. Yesterday it tripped the power supply while in the pool. I reset the power supply and it tripped again right away. Not really sure where to start my troubleshooting. Any thoughts?

Please explain the “cooler air being forcibly pulled upward through the baffles” comment. Not sure I comprehend what air is being “pulled upward.”

In case anybody every wondered (like I did) whether or not a chiller is more effective in a dry environment, I confirmed last night that it absolutely is. We had an unexpected bout of dry air in Houston last night. I run my chiller overnight, from 9pm - 6:30am, every night, and do not run the...

My pool is 15k and we went with the 210. I can't speak to whether or not it's better or worse than the smaller unit. My builder said I run the risk of my pool getting too cold with this bigger unit. My builder was an idiot -- I wish my pool getting too cold (in the summer) was a problem!

sounds like I need to mess with my output and see what the difference is. I'm still confused about the role the outlet configuration plays on the system as a whole. Hopefully somebody reading this knows that answer.

I don't run it every day because of the expense. I'm not sure how much the chiller costs to run, likely minimal, but it's the increased runtime on the pump that's going to get me. So like I said, I accept a 91 degree pool Monday through Thursday, and then I bask in the glory of a low to mid...

I remember reading your results last year when I was trying to figure my chiller out. I am envious of your low humidity as it appears to make a large difference in the amount of cooling you're able to get out of your chiller. I'm still very happy with my results, but I'm jealous of yours.

What improvements did the above adjustments lead to?

That's not something I've ever looked at but I'll check it out this weekend when my chiller kicks back on and report back with my findings. To be clear, your concern is that the water in question isn't running through the riffles and thereby isn't releasing its heat, is that right? Just want...

I'm in the Houston area so I'll share my experience. Our pool tops out @ 91 these days. If we have enough 99+ degree days in a row it will top out @ 92. On Thursday @ midnight I have the chiller kick on and run continuously through Sunday @ 2:30pm. Friday the pool will top out 88 and be down...

Our pool is now a year old and I've had enough experience with the chiller to know it's making a difference. Now that I'm a year in I'm thinking about ways to dial it in to be even more effective, and I have have a question specifically about the outlet valve. I believe the instructions note...

Understood

I knew that was coming and I will definitely do that. Any thoughts on my FC question? Just wanting to understand that for my edification.

Last night I realize I had neglected brushing my pool for over two weeks. The result was mustard-colored algae in over 50% of the pool. I immediately poured in ~.5 gallons of liquid chlorine and then brushed the entire pool. Then I put the vacuum in there for a four-hour session. Then I...

....and this is why I love this forum. I was completely ready to fix with glue! I'm pretty sure mine is a Jandy. Hopefully this is as simple as the screws backed themselves out over time...

Oh man I'm super bummed to hear that -- was hoping this was a quick glue fix. I'll take pics and get model info tonight. Thanks for the assist!

Last night I turned on the spa blower (in-ground hot tub) and within seconds I heard horrible noises coming from the pool equipment area. The blower had blown off of the PVC pipe it was seated on. I quickly turned off the blower as soon as I heard the noise so little to no damage was done...

If the lights have to be sync’d to begin with, and there’s even a button in the Omnilogic app to Sync them when they get out of sync, isn’t there somehow a way for me to force them to get unsync’d? I’m definitely looking for a solution that doesn’t involve touching hardware.

The pool lights are on a single relax and aux. when they were first installed, before the installer came and setup the software completely, the pool lights would all be different colors when I turned them on and set it to a show. Now they are in sync after he completes his software setup. I...

Still need a way to “unsync” the pool lights. Any ideas?

I’m case any of of this is helpful to others in the future, this is what my light looks like.

Fixed it. Chose UCL instead of CL 4.0.

I added the lights, which is a Colorlogic 320, as a CL 4.0 light to the spa. It worked so far as it now shows as the spa light in the app. BUT… the led is only displaying blue, no matter what color or show I pick in the app. Thoughts? Was CL4.0 the wrong choice?

Two-part post. First, I had our pool builder connect the spa light to a separate transformer. They came out and installed the additional hardware to get it physically separated, so that part is done. But now, how do I go into the Hayward panel to add the spa light back in? I obviously want...

Yeah I was very pleased. Pretty sure the reason is because I had been running it for ~5 days straight. I turned it off last night ~8pm since the weekend was over, and left it off overnight. This morning ~9am I turned it on when my wife told me she was expecting company. It's @ 85 now (it's...
