Hello, new guy, Doug from Placerville Calif. (were the Gold Rush started) between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe (were at 2000') We have a huge 40,000 gallon rectangle pool that's 20x 42 w/ a 10 ft. deep end. It was built in 1950 and all the older neighbors swear it's never been drained...? In 2012 I was going to upgrade it to a salt water system, until I read all the comments about how many chem's they still take, and how the salt water dramatically shortens the life of the pump and filter system, so instead we installed a Paramount Triton UV system, then in 2018 upgraded to their newer Ultra UV w/ Ozone system and what a huge game changer! Now we use about 60-70 less chemicals, the water is crystal clear, no itchy skin, no red eyes, no green hair, and it's so easy to maintain we fired the lazy pool guys and do it ourselves. Back in 2012, no one anywhere even knew what I was doing or what I was even talking about, I was the only person w/ a UV/Ozone system in my county. Even my pro pool builder friend of 50+ years who helped me do it all had never seen our installed one before. 9 yrs. later several people have put them in and 1 brave pool supplier now sells them. We do have a high cyanic acid level probably because of the older water and therefore we have black algae spot problem, it grows in the cracks/voids, the plaster desperately needs to be replaced. Thinking about an Aqua Ammonia treatment for it? We have the Hayward EcoStar VSP pump w/ a PL-4 control panel, and the big Hayward 4 cartridge filter. It has always worked great for all these years, but this week the pump quit and gave me a "VSP drive comm. error" message. checked everything and it all has power, but can't figure it out yet? Might just bypass the panel and run pump manually until the "comm" error is solved. Any advice appreciated. THX - DS
