Yes, I kinda figured that which is VERY odd for a pool that is only 6 years old. I am going to get someone to look at it when it gets a little warner outside

Good afternoon everyone! So we had a week of VERY cold temp, and I had about 3-4 inches of ice up against the gun step (one other small spot as well) and the lip of the top step cracked off due to ice pressure. Is this something that is fixable? DIY or should I just go pro.. Not sure what...

Negative, I do not have a spa side remote. Is it needed? So when I say factory reset, it would be resetting EasyTouch at the panel, not ScreenLogic

G'afternoon all, I'm running into some oddities with the screen logic system, so I'd like to get some feedback. So what has happened so far every once in a while, a program would randomly start that is not on schedule. Such as SPA kicking in at 10 pm for no reason. Biggest issue is the lights...

Finally figured out why the SPA level was draining down slowly. The seal in the inlet valve was shot, once I replaced the waterway guts, problems was solved. NOW the level in the SPA drops to right below the grout below the spillway and stops which tells me the grout has been eaten away by the...

now I am pretty sure that SPA is a result of the plumbing trying to equalize. while the water was slowly going down in the SPA, after the above fix, I went over to the poolmiser and low and behold, you could hear the water draining in the overflow tube, which shows me that the pool water was...

I found a post from a while back from Jim that made me think for a min.. Since my check valves were replaced last year, this post gave me pause as I also have continual PH rising AND the return valve was about 80/20 Spa/pool. I made the actuator adjustment and now the SPA is fully closed in...

I replaced those last year with the hope that was the issue.. I am going to double-check again and make sure they are closed and clean.. The only other thing I can think of is the waterway value on the SPA return, I ordered a valve replacement.. the previous owner did not do ANY preventative...

Here's the pad. In the config, it runs and stops on daily unless we use the spa.

Alright, I got the pool up and running and I am getting to the water next. PH and CC are good for now. I had an issue last year, and my poolmiser would "band-aid" the issue. So here is the problem, every night when the pool filter ends its cycle, over the 8 hours it is stopped, the water in...

Thats the ticket! just ordered one,, Let's see how it works when it arrives. Appreciated

Pool Year #2 and I installed a heater bypass before opening the pool. With that said, the heater BYpass kit, as a few have noticed, looks for a BP_VLV connector on the main board of the heater. supposedly, when activated, the value accommodates for cool-down time before diverting back to pool...

Lasted from 2019 till yesterday, so lasted 4 years.. 3 of those was the previous owner, so no idea how he took care of it

My DX4 just bit the dust in finality.. So Jim, has the EVO been running good? or do you not yet have? I am wondering about the Aiper ones as well

Last's years winter was rough where I am and I ran the pool all winter, the lowest I saw on the temp monitor in the pentair app was about 26-28 (top of pool was frozen)

That was last year.. we had a good solid 2 weeks of near and below zero temps WITH an ice storm, and even when the pool was frozen, pump still did its thing.. I think I spent more time worrying about freeze protection failing then anything else..

Afternoon all, Well, after a good summer of learning and getting everything dialed in, I am coming up on a decision on if I should close this year or run it like last year. Last year, it ran all winter, with our ice storm, etc. Pentair freeze protection worked fine. I do not have a cover...

Yep, water has been in the 88-91 deg range for a number of weeks, so makes sense.. I'm going to need to pick up some CC to get the 256 up to 300 or so.. but otherwise the pool sparkles

I have finally seem to have found the balance of the SWCG for my pool, which is around 47% running at low speed for 16 hours a day.. I get right around 6.9-7.0 TC and the same with FC. PH is a "every three day" test and add due to salt water.. I have two questions around CYA and CH CYA - over...

I know this is older, but I am doing the same change this weekend and have the same setup as @wgipe (minus the very cool pool shed).. Did anyone ever get this work or validate that it works? I am wondering about actuator setup and where the wire plugs in.. Appreciated

Already have the valve and actuator in the Amazon basket.. it is a straight 90 from the heater intake to the pipe right after the check valve, so easy install.. Going to set up the automation so that when a call for heat happens, the valve opens automatically..

In the process of getting my setup dailed in, last night, I noticed a "low flow" reading on the screen logic app when running at 1600 RPM.. In doing a little research on the IC40, it seems to need a 25gpm rate as the "minimum". which is about 1800 RPM in my setup.. at 1600 RPM (Inteiiflow VSF)...

I actually just did a backwash and was wondering what "recirculate" did.. So that bypasses the sand filter completely? Also, what is function of "Waste"

Correct.. still learning my terms ;) SO the SKimmer should have most of the suction with the drains only being about 5%, not the full on config it is now.. got it.. When the spill way program runs, the returns go to 100% SPA, not a 80/20 split.. I am assuming that is what you mean..
