    Omnilogic showing really high pool temperature!

    Hello my new pool is all of a sudden showing that the water temp is 120-130 degrees F. The pump seems to be running fine and there are no errors within the panel, app, or SWG. The actual water temp is around 60-65 degrees. I reached out to the PB but its late and they won't respond until...

    Solar Heat | New Pool Final Plans

    I will be putting in a new L shaped 27k pool with a surface area of 780sq ft. The pool will get mostly full sun during the day. The plan is to install 13 4x12 panels (2in headers) on my roof which will get me to ~78%. I also went with the 3HP VS Pentair IntelliFlo and Pentair SolarTouch Panel...

    Spa heating only

    Hi, I’ve been following this website for a good year or so and finally opened up the pool myself this year. We bought our house that had this pool with spillover spa about 3-4 years ago. The heater went the first year and finally just got it replaced this year. I know there’s a way to heat the...

    Thermal solar panels AND heat pump?

    Can I have both thermal solar panels (connected to the pump and pipes) and a heat pump for pool heat? Can they both run at the same time? If so, does it matter how they are connected in series? (Water to solar first, then heat pump, or to heat pump first then solar?)

    Hayward omni logic Heater Set point sensitivity

    We have noticed that our Hayward heater in Spa mode with Set point to 98 degrees will drop down to 95-94 degrees (as reported by Omni logic) before kicking back on. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity so that it will turn back on? In some instances we find ourselves manually toggling the...

    Another solar pool cover for odd shaped pool thread

    Hello TFP, I'm getting ready to buy a solar cover for my pool to help retain the heat at night and extend the swimming season. My pool is an odd shaped "elbow" pool that I usually treat as 2 pools when I measure it. One side is about 18' by 13', and the other is about 18' by 15.7'. I've...

    Any heating recommendations for 3000G above ground pool?

    I am in the process of installing a 3000 gallons above-ground Bestway pool (13' x 42"), mainly for two kindergarteners. I live in Western Washington, where the weather stays cooler for eight months a year. The temperature on our Summer nights gets into the low 50s. We will be weekend warriors...

    Intellicenter Spa setting

    I just replace my old Jandy with an intellicenter that has pool and combo set up. I really like the new system however I have one item unaddressed. In my current set up I have the spa setting to which I can turn it on and off and I can turn the heat to the desired temperature or off...

    How do I heat and keep pool clean?

    Hi, I'm new to owning a pool and am really lost on how to heat my pool (cheaply, preferably a solar cover) but also keep the rain water, bugs and general debris out of the pool. We live in Minnesota, it's a chilly state and it rains a lot and we have trees that drop helicopters. I want to heat...
