    Hayward AquaConnect "Lost link" and Unit not communicating with cloud server

    Same thing seems to have started happening with google dns as well. Soon no public dns servers will support whatever type of dns the device is sending. Maybe sending large tcp dns packets? Makes no sense why tho. Unless the internal software was developed really crappy.

    Aqua Connect app showing lost link......... Ideas??

    I’m having the exact same issue as the OP. Says lost link. But works, slowly, but works. No idea what the lost link is about. Also I read somewhere how I can control using my local IP. But lost the info, can anyone share?

    How to get rid of these spots on pool floor?

    I test regularly. I have never needed to add chemicals to get levels correct. Sometimes I super chlorinate using the salt cell. That’s it.

    How to get rid of these spots on pool floor?

    Thank you I’ll give this a try. This is a salt water pool. I don’t add any chemicals. The pool is always very clean and clear. It’s just this one spot I can’t seem to get rid of.

    How to get rid of these spots on pool floor?

    I tried to use some hydrochloric acid on the pool floor. This is in the deep end, so got one of those sticks with the acid holder on the end. Didn’t work. It looks almost like dirt. But it’s not. It won’t come out no matter what I have tried so far.

    AQL2-POD2 Successful Battery Replacement

    This does seem simple enough. Its so strange replacement batteries aren't available. They don't last forever. One thing i would recommend is while soldering use solder paste, and use shrink tubing instead of electrical tape. Ends up being a better job done. Has anyone had any luck finding a...

    Zodiac caretaker99 parts?

    They ara all Hayward GVA24 actuators. I am not sure of the valve brand there. It’s been there since before I owned it. I always use pentair valves. Yes it’s cracked at the front right screw that also holds down the actuator. It’s like a hairline crack but it started squirting out.

    Zodiac caretaker99 parts?

    I guess old age. I don’t know for sure. Maybe due to years of strong UV exposure. It cracked where one of the screws goes into the body. No one touched it and it cracked out of nowhere. It’s original from when the pool was built about 10 or so years ago. I tried using plastic jbweld and...

    Zodiac caretaker99 parts?

    Here is a wider picture This is the return to pool plumbing portion, which also includes a 3 way valve (in the front) that bypasses the caretakerto a water feature. This 3 way valve is what cracked and needs to be replaced. The way it was plumbed there is no room for repairs. I need to replace...

    Zodiac caretaker99 parts?

    Thanks. That makes sense. There is no winterizing where I live. And for 6 years I’ve owned the pool. I’ve never once used this. I’ll probably just get rid of it.

    Zodiac caretaker99 parts?

    I’ll take a picture tomorrow. I am not the original owner. It is from the original installation that was done about 10 years ago when the pool was built I was not the owner then. I am now :)

    Hayward ProLogic Wireless automation?

    How do you connect direct without using the AquaConnect app through a smartphone? is that even possible? I have no problem with my wifi.

    Hayward ProLogic Wireless automation?

    Not for me. Response time is much quicker using the standard remote compared to the aqua connect. The aquaconnect sometimes takes several tries to even register the commands.

    Hayward ProLogic Wireless automation?

    You can get an aql2-base-rf and a aql2-pod2. Or an aql2-base-rf and a aquaconnetc home connect to control it from your smart phone. This is convenient to use on a smart phone but very slow and not even as close to the speed of a aql2-pod2 remote. Either way you would need the RF base antenna.

    Hayward prologic pool/spa dual - shared heater - config

    I’m starting to do the plumbing tomorrow. I guess I’ll just plug in each actuator valve into each connection (1-4) and see what it does when I push the buttons. :( Trial and error seems to be my only choice. Unfortunately getting this information is nearly impossible and Hayward’s...

    Spa plumbing connectors

    Thank you! I’m still learning my system. So I suppose the caps will let more air in as I loosen them. Not sure what the purpose of it is since the spa also has a blower... Thanks for the info!
