I just duct taped the bottle to a length of closet rod. 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs, Tagelus T60 sand filter, Taylor test kit 2006C, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket (to keep the heat we get), a Pentair Easy Touch 4 & the Pentair IC60 swcg

Hey George - don't know about adding any chemicals but when we installed a solar cover our evaporation dropped a lot. I've only added water once this season and that was when I got lazy about putting the solar cover back on the pool! Our pool is used mainly on the weekends so, your milage may...

Ok. I understand reduced resistance. 2 years ago I re-plumbed all lines leading from the pool to the pump. Could not find our leak anywhere else so i rented a trencher and dug up the back yard and cut the concrete to the skimmers. I replaced all 90 deg elbows with 45's and saw an increase in...

This confuses my simple mind. How does this increase the flow rate (gpm) through the line? And if it does then it does. I'd really just like to understand this better. It is certainly counter intuitive to think that adding additional panels, with the same 4 gpm restrictions, will increase the...

With the pump and SWCG wired together in the ET4 controller the swcg will have power during backwashing. Will this damage it or will the SWCG not try to produce with no water flowing? As always - Thanks 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs, Tagelus T60 sand filter, Taylor test kit 2006C, diy...

I've read many times where folks were advised to turn off the SWCG when slamming the pool. Why? Can this cause a problem with the SWCG or is it simply not needed? Thanks - 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs, Tagelus T60 sand filter, Taylor test kit 2006C, diy solar panels for heating pool...

Hey all - happy to report that the IC60 is plumbed in and all connected. We are now generating Chlorine and everything appears to be working as advertised. Thanks again for all your help. 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs, Tagelus T60 sand filter, Taylor test kit 2006C, diy solar panels for...

Thank you tstex. I can do that now and it works great. I turn the pump off during high rate hours and vary the speed using the programming I had set up on the pump during other times. I was reading through the ET4 manual and got to wondering. Thanks again for the help. 44,000 gal. IG...

Thanks sw, that'll give me a place to start. 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs, Tagelus T60 sand filter, Taylor test kit 2006C, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket to keep the heat we get and installing a Pentair Easy Touch 4 & the Pentair IC60 swcg

I've got a Hayward SP2302 VSP Maxflo VS and an Easy Touch 4 controller. Can the ET4 be wired to work it's magic on the Maxflo VS2302? I realize they are certainly not made to go together but it's what I have to work with right now. Thanks in advance - 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs...

Just to update - I've finished the controller part of the install and everything is working as planned! Schedule is going well and the controller turns the pump off during TVA's high rate hours and back on after That'll save $$$ right there! :BigSmile: Now, about the actuator - guess that...

Thanks Jim. Makes sense to me, but, you just never know! 44,000 gal. IG, Hayward Maxflo vs, Tagelus T60 sand filter, Taylor test kit 2006C, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket to keep the heat we get and installing a Pentair Easy Touch 4 & the Pentair IC60 swcg

Getting close to the end of this project and have a question about the location of the temperature probe. Instructions say to put it between the pump and the filter. I'd rather have it in the line before the actuator that feeds the solar panels, after the sand filter. Does it matter where the...

Found the required location of the water temp sensor. Thanks. 20x40 IG, Hayward maxflo vs, tagelus t60 sand filter, Taylor test kit, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket to keep the heat we get and of course - 'More fun than you can shake a stick at'

Re: What is this? From the angle of the picture it could be blue water and a blue liner with reflection of the green trees on the surface. Hard to tell from where I'm sitting. 20x40 IG, Hayward maxflo vs, tagelus t60 sand filter, Taylor test kit, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full...

Sorry! Been so busy with everything else I haven't been able to get back to finishing the install. Hopefully things will be better this week. 20x40 IG, Hayward maxflo vs, tagelus t60 sand filter, Taylor test kit, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket to keep the...

We do get a temp bump with ours and does a great job of holding heat a night, it has reduced evaporation, and it holds fc better than without the cover in place. 20x40 IG, Hayward maxflo vs, tagelus t60 sand filter, Taylor test kit, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar...

Yes. Neutral completes a 110v circuit while the ground wire provides a place for current to go when things go wrong. My plan was to exit the sub-panel through the twin 20 amp breakers with the power to the et4 using the 10/3 wire. I have a couple of lengths of what looks to be about a 4 Gage...

Here's a shot of the sub-panel that powers the pool house. Thanks. 20x40 IG, Hayward maxflo vs, tagelus t60 sand filter, Taylor test kit, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket to keep the heat we get and of course - 'More fun than you can shake a stick at'

Looked things over and the et4 has a place for the swcg transformer! Had some 10/3 wire so I swapped out the 12/2. Using the Black and White as L1 & L2 with red going to the vertical ground and the bare wire to the horizontal ground as FV advised. Is this the correct way to use the red wire...

While I appreciate the thought FV, don't know I could pull that off. Although, it is something to think about. 20x40 IG, Hayward maxflo vs, tagelus t60 sand filter, Taylor test kit, diy solar panels for heating pool water, full size solar blanket to keep the heat we get and of course - 'More...
