We have installed a bunch of the IF3 in the exact configuration you’re looking to use. It works great and we haven’t had any issues. Sounds like the perfect setup for your application.

Have you looked at the Intelliflo3? It’s an updated pump design that gives you a lot more options for control of other equipment - usually salt systems and lights. Comes standard with wifi/Bluetooth app control. The Whisperflo is an ancient pump design and the VST controls are a bit of a pain IMO.

What control system do you have? The Hayward smart transformer for the Omni system is a good option, because it frees up relays in your panel for future use.

Can’t speak to the Gulfstream, but I’m a big fan of the Sunblazer. They are made by Aquacal and it is basically the T135 heater in a different color cabinet. You get the factory support that comes along with any Aquacal heater, they have super simple controls and also have the Thermolink heat...

Yes. Hayward UCL lights have Colorlogic 4.0 mode, so once you get them into that mode, they will take the same commands.

There is a ground lug in the transformer. “Chrome” looking terminal bar that is basically in the dead middle of rhe transformer.

This is an original Amerlite. This particular design has been discontinued for 20 years or more. The screw that holds the light in the pool should be in the portion of the light right that is cut off by the pictures. Once you remove this screw, the light should drop out of the wall for service...

Intake requirements, exhaust requirements, and service clearances all seem non existent in these pictures.

Did you possibly make a connection between the line voltage for the lights and the relay leads? That would definitely cause you some issues. Does the back of the main board have any burn marks?

It will definitely be more than a couple days, but shouldn't have too much effect on your yard. Have them install a proper main drain sump if they're going through that much effort.

The Omni platform gives the most control and flexibility of any of the big 3 automation systems. The difference is that there is no pre-programmed logic in the Omni and you are the one that tells it what to do. Getting them right can take a bit if you don't have someone on site who is familiar...

Well I just posted a picture that proved me wrong and said I was eating crow. Nothing left for me to get.

Crow never tasted so good. Side by side comparison for anyone else who is curious. DE on the left, sand on the right.

Both valves sitting on my desk. Check replacement parts schematic.

The 261152 valve that you posted is literally the exact same as the 261152 sand valve. The difference is the sticker and the valve handle orientation. They are 180 degrees different from each other. Bronsonj, can you post a picture of what is currently at the house?

You don't need a new valve. Those MPV will work for either sand or DE, but the key is rotated 180 degrees depending on the filter you have. All you need is the sticker for DE. See the item posted below...

The AquaStar moflo 8" retrofit covers fit those frames nicely and they are pretty inexpensive.

Maybe try a dimmer switch set at 75 or 80 to keep heat down a bit? Otherwise, start pricing out fixtures

If your builder can't get the bubbler centered, keep the strip of tile.

Swap for a rainbow chlorinator.

Any warranty coverage on the drive? Sounds like it has failed again. Have you called Hayward?

We order these by the case and use them on basically everything that does not have a built in union. Have been using them for 5-6 years in North Florida and I have never had to go out and swap an o-ring.

Looks like the shaft seal failed, letting water past the housing and back to the motor. I'd say the most common culprit of a failed shaft seal is running the pump dry. It can also happen if lots of sand or abrasive debris is vacuumed through the skimmer. Along with replacing the motor, you...

The Hayward Swimpure/Aqua Rite systems work well in lower flow situations. Lowest of all the major systems if I'm not mistaken. You still may have issues at 1230 RPM though. Bumping it up a few hundred RPM for 8 hours a days or so to get the salt system going probably isn't going to put a big...

Unfortunately the board needs to be replaced. There is no backup battery on the Hayward systems, so mythical is a good description.

IC60 is not big in my area, but we manage three pools that we have installed IC60 on using standard power center/fuse setup with no issues. Your cell probably has an issue. I would call Pentair before installing a 12 amp fuse. 10 amp is what comes in the power center and what they sell as a...

My bad! I double checked that manual and I see that now. I always use the relay control because I'm normally wring into an older automation. I'd either swap to relay control or call Pentair.

Ditch the PDA and go iaqualink.

It is wired incorrectly. RS-485 requires a 4 wire connection to the com ports. You can utilize the existing 2 wire setup as follows... - TURN OFF ALL BREAKERS - In easytouch, swap wires to low voltage heater relay (bottom right of board when you flip it down) - In ultratemp, swap wires to the...
