Just to clarify, the item that determines if it's salt-ready or not is a transformer. You can't see the transformer unless you open the high voltage panel, but a giveaway is that small rounded terminal underneat the front left corner of your EasyTouch. It looks a lot like a MIDI or MIC cable port.

I think this good information in general, but the OP was asking about check valves, not diverters with CVs built into them. It was described as a 'flap' and there was no reason to suspect it wasn't a conventional CV. We can ask OP to clarify if they have confused their check valve with a...

Not really clear why the auto cover tracks are your priority. Tracks are easily replaced inside the encapsulation if they get damaged. Anode won't protect these - they aren't submerged in the pool water unless you have a negative-edge pool. A sacrificial anode will be placed in the plumbing...

I'm not familiar with any check valve manufactured with holes. This defeats the purpose of a 'check' valve.

You can snug the bowed slats back to the backing with trim screws. Glue is always temporary. You can add backing where it's lacking support. You can refinish the panel as well. Paint will last as long as the quality of the paint and prep permits. I'm looking at plastic oils or heat treatments...

Is your Easytouch salt ready? Easiest way to tell is to look for the small black 4-pin connection on the bottom front-left of the panel. If so, IntelliChlor is a logical choice. If not, you will need to purchase the power center for the cell. Adds a measurable cost. You'd then have to Rs485 to...

Our area is mild and we have dozens of 'evergreen' trees, and they are deceptively high maintenance. Rather than total leaf loss 1 month of the year, you will find them dropping the entire year in small amounts with emphasis in the spring. Much like human skin - we never 'lose' our skin, but we...

Ideally you will terminate in a junction box. Jbox will then connect to Xfmer via carflex. Xfmer carflex to IAqualink. Bonding wire from Jbox to IAqualink bonding lug. It's best to airgap the conduit from your panel.

A picture behind the deadfront panel where the breakers are located, will help us. Is you pump wired to a relay? Or direct to breaker? Single SPD or VS? Is your heater wired to the same relay as your pump? Is it on a relay at all? Have you confirmed voltage on the Line side of the relay for...

You most likely have a leak on the suction side, as many have suggested. A worn or loose impeller may fail to 'build' prime but it sounds like it draws the initial gallon through, it just chokes on air rapidly thereafter. You don't have any valves, so this really only leaves the items you've...

I would stick with a shop vac. Why do you wish to use your dust collector? Mine is massive and clunky and built into the shop walls. If you could get yours to the pool, I would be worried about the higher CFM preventing me from managing the wrinkles in time.

sarcasm? You're not wrong categorically and this isn't a criticism. Just sharing some examples of when I wished it had been 2 or 3 valve position mistakes before someone blew it up, instead of 1. Yes, this. All that needs to occur is for the pins/posts on the Pentair valve to break or go...

I understand what you're proposing. Bear with me though... I'll have to find the photos in my system, but I've had at least two 3-ways in the last year misused in a way that reveals the weakness in that design. One that burned up a single speed pump and another that was on a return as a...

If I'm you, I'm putting a 2-way valve as the first piece after you cut the intake pipes. In other words, giving SK, MD and VAC their own vertical 2-way. I do not personally like the 'either or' layouts some builders use. The theory is that is saves on material and reduces the odds the pump is...

Strangely the system didn't notify me of the tag but I stumbled on this one anyway! I agree with all suggestions. I would start with PVC weld if they are hairline cracks. I really like FUSION by Oatey for all our retrofit plumbing. It's great for sealing suction leaks as well because it's...

You can also run/affix parallel aluminum strips across the brackets so that there is no potential for shifting of a tile that would then drop and contact the cover. We've done this for many VR homes that get rough foot traffic on them. Depending on how tight the pieces are installed, some...

On outdoor panel: Settings > Advanced Sys Config > Installation Setup > Heaters Look at your heater and make sure it's assigned to Pool/Spa and not just Pool.

What Allen said. Everytime you cross that bridge, you'll get acidic condensate. So cross that bridge as infrequently as possible. And as you stated, never run it below 70 and maintain in that range. Good way to lose your warranty and need a new heater.

The schematic above may not match your Omni, FWIW. Lets get clear on the exact error as James suggested. All your temp sensors are on the same terminal block. So I'd start there looking for loose connections. Image below may be a closer match to your panel if it's a few years old. Center...

Power cycle your heater if you haven't already. Best case, your membrane is sticky and it was mashing buttons on you. If the panel continues to give you the same trouble, you may be looking at a new PCB in your future. Could be membrane only but in my experience the board goes before the...

+1. Same observations. It's also not uncommon even for Intelliflo3 and several Jandy pumps (mostly ePump and FloPro) to agitate near the lid but not make contact in certain setups.

Absolutely +1 to Alan's advice. Let us know if you need help doing that.

PoolStored is correct. It generally comes out without much argument. In the case where the base gets jammed with sand, the core can detached from the base and the tabs snap off. The base is not glued in there. You may just have to negotiate it or try spraying water around the perimeter to...

Just to clarify, are you talking about the female nut internally welded to the flue?

No, clients wont receive anything if it's parts. We will leave you with the new serial # if it's a whole good, but that's it.
