    Hayward Heat Pump - How to activate cooling mode?

    Shoot, you're right. After doing a bit more in depth research, and despite what my Hayward rep said, and despite being listed on the 'Heat and Cool' section of the website, this model (HP50951T) in fact does not support cooling. Lame. :cry: Thanks for helping me take a closer look! (If I...

    Hayward Heat Pump - How to activate cooling mode?

    Does anybody have any experience with getting a HeatPro VS Heat and Cool Heat Pump (HP50951T) to work in Cooling mode on an Omni PL system? My rep didn't activate cooling mode, we didn't think we would need it, but with the temperatures and the pool cover, the pool is turning into a bathtub...

    T-15 cell inaccurate salt in app

    I'm actually having the exact same 'issue' (not really an issue, just an interesting observation I suppose). Recently installed my Hayward W3T-CELL-15 (so I don't have any history). Been slowly increasing my salt over the last week or so, haven't added any for a few days. I have 2 bodies of...

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Edit: Just putting this here in case somebody else runs across this. The OmniPL Console UI is actually very intuitive, it's not a long menu you have to 'scroll' through, you actually select which area you want to update. What I did was selected the type of cell, selected the port that it was...

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    This is what I came up with. I'll adjust the length to line up and rotate the pieces correctly.

    Oh OK cool, I thought it had to be in front of it, awesome. And yes I'll have enough clearance to have the hump down. Thanks!!

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    OK, time to start making some cuts. I started to lay things out, and due to the 12" required before the flow switch, this is pushing this extension out a bit further than I was hoping. Any thoughts or suggestions here? How much space should I have between the SWG couplers and each fitting? Is...

    Best Pool Vac for spa?

    So nobody is getting the $60 discount coupon? I abandon my cart a couple of days ago, and I was hoping to see the $60 coupon.

    Question about PH color.

    I was thinking 7.5, a bit hard to tell with the background though.

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Hmm OK, that's an interesting point, I guess I didn't really stop to think about it, I was thinking the water must come out of the heater blazing hot to be able to have enough energy to be able to cool down on the way to the hot tub and still be hot enough to heat the water. That's kind of a...

    When my theme timer expires, my equipment returns to the schedule. Do you have a schedule set up for the equipment?

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Should I redo my plumbing? My main concern is that the propane heater is before the HP, so it's sending very hot water through it. I'm going to have to do some plumbing work to add my SWCG, so wondering if I should tackle the heater order at that time as well. Then it's like, if I'm going to do...

    High TA Low pH, which to tackle first?

    Ahh gotcha! OK great, thanks for these! If it would ever stop raining and snowing around here, I'd love to get the cover open and turn on the waterfalls. Ahh OK, I was trying to estimate based on the log scale. So if the line is anywhere between 50 and 60, even if it's 51, then the CYA is 60...

    High TA Low pH, which to tackle first?

    I presume that's for all measurements? Would be cool if it could be disabled per measurement. I'd still like the reminders for FC for example (since that changes with CYA).

    High TA Low pH, which to tackle first?

    Interesting, OK. So are you guys saying my chemistry is fine right now, nothing to address immediately, and just let the pH float upward which should lower TA? I have an automatic cover that stays closed all the time unless I'm using it, not sure if that factors in? As for the CH, is there a...

    High TA Low pH, which to tackle first?

    It's a glass tile and I believe it is a rubberized grout, it is slightly squishy. The pool manufacturer (Latham) came out to install it after the pool was installed, so I believe they used the 'correct' materials. I'm on a well and my untreated water is high in iron and sulfur so we had water...

    High TA Low pH, which to tackle first?

    Hmm, so I don't need to do anything right now for those? I have waterline tile... and PoolMath says it's low :LOL: I shouldn't be increasing my CH to recommended levels?

    High TA Low pH, which to tackle first?

    I'm newish to the forum, I believe I've shared/posted my PoolMath test results to my account, are you all able to see those to see my test results? I have high TA (110) and low pH (7.3). The instructions to correct this are somewhat in conflict, so I'm not sure how to correct this. My TA got...

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    In order to add the Chlorinator to OmniPL before plugging it in (like it says on the red sticker) do I have to go through the entire Config Wizard? I hope it remembers the current settings because I didn't configure it, the Hayward rep did, and reviewing the manual indicates there are some...

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    The manual says wired in parallel, not plumbed in parallel, right? But you are correct in that they did not follow the instructions there, which indicate the water heated by the gas heater should not go into the heat pump. And there's supposed to be a bypass valve which there is not. Seems...

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Interesting, the regional Hayward rep was on-site at the time to wire up all the equipment and program everything. He didn't say anything about that.

    Adding SWG With Hayward OmniPL

    Probably a fair question that I may not have the knowledge to answer. :) I'm a pool n00b, this is my first ever pool, it was built last year. The quick answer is 'that's how the installer/builder installed them'. But let me describe my heating scenarios: 1. The propane heater is exclusively...

    OK awesome, thanks! I have a 40K W3T-CELL-15 on the way, which SWG would I select in PoolMath?

    Any reason not to go with SWG?

    Similar story, we asked the builder and he did not recommend it either. Wish I had found this site earlier.
