Jim, Did you convert to swcg or swbg? I just ordered the bromine generator. I'm going to install this weekend. I would vote for the spa too. Cool nights are great to be in the spa. We're in NY. The other night it was 37°and the spa was 102°[emoji16]

Some above ground pools use big inflatable pillows

That sounds like a board problem. I'm not a tech, I'm an electrician. But that's just my gut feeling.

And when you turn the pumps off with the control panel does the power turn off at the terminals?

Are they 2 speed pumps? What do you get white to red or black? White may not be a neutral Does your meter test low voltage? Lights may be low voltage

You can try this to verify if it's the motors. Turn the power off. Pull 1 of the white clips out. With the 14/3 wires. Turn the power back on Turn all the pumps on from the control panel Test the terminals on the board where you removed the clip. Make sure you test where the black and white...

I would start at the breaker and a volt meter. Verify you have the correct voltage. Then verify it's correct at the board where it comes in. If you are not comfortable checking the power live, then I suggest calling in a tech.

The best way to test the fuses is to pull them and test for continuity with a meter. You can also go across the ends of the fuses with a volt meter. It should read 0. If you see voltage, the fuse is bad. My balboa board was DOA when I first got my spa. There was a very small 125ma 250v fuse...

Mine are sitting on 30" piers and I wouldnt go any higher than that. It is critical that the niche be set flush to the finished cap or 1/8" below. Definitely not above

Please post a pic of the board. How did you test the fuses?

Yes that's what i meant.

Have you tried a factory reset?

Gfci receptacle. Get the ones with the WR on them. Might be worth a shot to replace it... But if you had the issue with the pump in 3 different outlets, it may be your pump. The gfi will trip when it senses voltage leaking to ground. your pump might be letting some current through the...

We have: 2 hayward colorlogic's 1 savi 4' fiber optic sheer 2 pentair magic bowls PB kept trying to give us 1 light. Thanks to TFP we insisted on 2 and are very happy at did. 1 light in the deep end would not have been enough to cover the shallow end

Sometimes people use it to control temperature. I use it in pool mode for 85 degrees and in spa mode it turns my sheer Desent on and kicks the heat up to 87. I do not have an attached spa

Sorry it took so long, crazy weather last night on the island and I got home late tonight

Yes I will post later it was an adjustable flange they raised it to the level it needed to be and then concreted it in.

I believe it would definitely extend its life. Please post pics of what you come up with! I have the 16v

Why do you want to see the skimmer? Ours is sunk and we have a piece of stone that's removable

Did you try signing out /in and maybe resetting the panel? After that I would call tech support. Mine is working

If you turned off your main breaker and still feel the current, there is no way an additional panel will fix the problem. If he says it will, tell him to do it, but if it doesn't fix it, will you waive the cost of installation for the panel. I bet he backs out of that 1

Your can always do both. Have a photocell or timer to turn them on and off every night And run a switch in parallel to turn them on when you want them on. I would use a timer switch. That way if you forget to turn it off, it will time out and revert back to the photocell or timer Best of both...

If it's bare #8 around the pool, that's a bonding wire. It should attach to EVERY piece of pool equipment. take your skimmer baskets out and look if you have a bonding plate. Pic attached the curved metal would be inside the skimmer and the attached lug would be outside attached to the bare...

Do you have a water bond? Not the ladder, it is removable and the cups that they sit in can fail

Think of a battery. Simple circuit with a light bulb. Electricity wants to go back to the source. If your neighbor has a leak to ground, the electrons are trying to get back to the utility that produced them. Because of The resistance of the ground the voltage will get less and less as you get...

If that works,then turn the main on with all the other breakers off and turn 1 breaker on at a time. Try to pin point the leak. If you are still getting the tingle with the main off, the leak can be coming from a neighbor or your utility directly

No but voltage can be leaking from some where else. Did you try shutting your main breaker off your house off and see if the tingle is still there?

I have a polymer pool installed in September 2017 with no issues. Do you have the skimmer bond? Or a water bonding fitting? One or the other is required for a polymer pool. I have the skimmer bond

You will need to bring the wires from your panel black and white to the line side of the gfi. It will be marked. Load side black to the light switch, then back to the pool light and load side white directly to the pool light.

That is incorrect for a pool light. Your pool light is not protected by the gfi in that wiring diagram. It is run in parallel. To verify what I'm saying trip your gfi. Does your pool light stay on? That would not be good
