    Troubleshooting Polaris 9550 motor

    Hi experts, I‘m getting an error 10 communication code. I checked the cable at both ends and all seems good. No corrosion at the motor connection and looked water tight still. I checked the cable with a meter and all seemed to test properly. I am suspecting the motor is the cause but does...

The pool looks great but I’m burning through chlorine. Going from a 20ppm to 2.5ppm. I have scrubbed the pool and...

    Question on upgrading from PDA to iAqualink

    I have the Aqualink PDA system which I have it set to control my pool, spa, heater, lights, waterfall, deck jets and gas fire feature. If I upgrade to the iAqualink, will I have to reprogram all the features and valves? I’m guessing yes since it will require changing the board...at least I think...

    Spa refurbish advice

    We are ready to start tackling our buried spa (courtesy of the previous owner). From what I can gather, they just cut the pipes at the equipment pad and left them buried. The spa is just filled with rocks and dirt, then added concrete on top. Since its not a spill over spa, what is...

    I've searched through the archives but can't seem to find any definitive answer. Hopefully the Jedi Masters can help me. I've had the EasyTouch and Intelliflo VS installed for 3 years+ but ran the pump independently. Now I'm getting the whole system operational. I'm hooking up my IC60 but...

    Polaris ATV power module repair

    After a quick visit to Leslie's, I was told the power module ( 5-5000 ) is not repairable. After a few minutes on the internet, I found out this is not true. How do I know if I need to replace the power module gears ( 5-5050 ) or the reverse clutches ( 5-5040 )? What's the troubleshoot test...

    Help: EasyTouch - IntelliFlo connection

    I need some help hooking up my IntelliFlo pump to my newly installed EasyTouch. I've had the IntelliFlo for a while but just installed a new EasyTouch panel. I'm lost on how to hook up the wires and the books don't help either. Do I simply wire the L1 and L2 from the pump to the 2-pole 20amp...

    Hose spigot on pool plumbing

    I need to do some changes to my pool plumbing on the pad. I've noticed some folks have a hose spigot plumbed into their equipment. Is this something I should install since I'm doing some changes anyway? Would ideal be 1. After pump / before filter or 2. After filter? Thx

    SWG sizing question

    I know this is a tired thread but the ones I've seen are for smaller pools. If I have been reading correctly, I need to size the chlorine generator 2x times the size of the pool. Is that right? If so, what are others doing with pools over 45k? What SWG options are available for my size pool...

    Just tested, not 100% sure what to do next

    Just put my Taylor 2006 to use. So excuse the rookie explaination as I want to make sure I'm using it correctly. I've been a pool owner for 7 years but always been a chlorine and PH tester. FC = 2ppm (25ml sample, 10 drops x .2) CC = 0? (nothing happened on step 5 when I added the drops, did...
