Darn, unfortunately the water did not rise. The leak is going into the ground. Maybe I can come up with something clever, like running a new line inside of the old line, and putting a different kind of valve on it.

Thanks for the reply. Good point. I'm not sure the water is going in the canister/pool. I'll do that test tomorrow and find out.

I installed the Fluidmaster, since that's what was there when I bought the house. (That's what I've always replaced them with. Whatever Lowes has had.) I read the links you sent. Seem like the only differences between the two is the pressure restrictor for eliminating water hammer (and the...

Hi. I have a pool with an autofill, the style where it's uses a regular Fluidmaster toilet tank filler, installed under a cover, on the deck near the pool. Overall it's always worked well. I've replaced the filler 3 or 4 times over the years when it started leaking or acting up. Several...

Thanks for the input, and the info on the copper/titanium transition. Exactly, what will be next, the compressor, or a leak somewhere else? It's hard to justify putting too much money into a 9yo unit.

Yes, I think it does, if the titanium part is the cause of the failure. (i.e. If the titanium component of the heat exchanger fails, they'll replace the entire heat exchanger ($2k). But if for example the PVC component of the heat exchanger fails, then it's not covered by warranty.) What's...

I have a 9 year old Hayward SUM8TA 140k BTU pool heat pump that is leaking freon. The tech who was recharging it spotted the leak. The titanium part of the heat exchanger is still under warranty, but nothing else. No labor warranty. Charging the unit is about $500, and last time it lasted...

Thanks for the manual link. Thanks for the explanation. Yep, HermanTX was correct.

Thanks for the idea. (I've been doing other more urgent projects, so just got back to this.) Bingo! Speed 3 is assigned to the Aux called Pool Light. To verify what this means functionally; if Pool light is activated, then the pump turns on and runs at Speed 3, correct? Because that is...

To clarify; I've never used the one touch screen, nor programmed it. Perhaps someone else programmed it. I'm using the button on the Home screen, or the schedule. Where is the Equipment screen?

Thanks for the manual. That looks better than the one I had found. I'll read through.

Thanks for the reply. The light was wired into a relay that was plugged into Aux1 for control. Aux1 was labeled "Pool light". Then in the schedule, I programmed the "pool light" to go on at night. Also if I just pushed the Aux1 button on the physical controller panel, it would go on. And...

I have a pool with an Aqualink RS power center with the iaqualink internet connection. I'm a pretty handy guy, but this controller frustrates me. It's not configurable to the degree I'd like, and it does some things I do not understand. I have a few questions I was hoping to get help with...
