The usual store I buy my DE from is closed on weekends. I worked a ton last season and had to buy a different brand and had to adjust my PH bringing it up every couple days. Before I switched brands I didn’t have to. I’m wondering if it’s the change in DE?

Does anyone have experience with bonding autocovers? Types of lay in or mechanical lugs used to bond the autocover tracks and brackets from the autocover box to the pool. I assumed they would need to be rated for direct burial and possibly dual use (copper and aluminum) since the rails are made...

Almost done wrapping up an install. It says on the Pal light driver that it is compatible with Hayward automation. Just put the dip switches in a certain order and remove the Wi-Fi module and don’t use the remote. I have looked all over Pals website and Haywards with not much else on it. What is...

Does the Omni PL have this capability? I have a customer asking me about it and I thought it does. I know it sends email alerts. I have looked around on the internet and can’t find anything. It’s the weekend and I didn’t want to bug my Hayward guy until Monday about it.

I have made a vac system out of a pump and filter. It’s a small Hayward 500vsp and I find I am cleaning the pump basket out quite a bit. I do pool cleaning right after concrete and it’s always a mess. Backfill, concrete, sometimes broken pool form bits. I was thinking a 5 gallon bucket with a...

Has anyone used these? Does it really work or make a difference in using less chemicals or stopping scale from forming? I’m here at a Thursday Pools conference and went to check out the vender booth after Thursday said they recommend this.

I am about to install and Aquarite. It’s the S3 series that also has some Omni functionality with the 4 pin controller like an Omni PL or Logic. I am wondering what the amp draw would be so I could purchase the right one. Also does it need to be GCFI breaker? Thanks!

What lube do you guys use. I know you shouldn’t use petroleum based products.

Power light is on but no ozone, UV or flow light on. Tried powering off with pump on then back on. Tried with pump off. Same thing. Any suggestions?

Just a few questions. Drain the water below the skimmer? How to go about plugging the main drains?

Inspectors are telling me that even though PAL says their light drivers are UL listed that they actually aren’t. They are making me add pool light niche boxes in front of them just to get it to pass inspection! Has anyone ran into this issue!

At 2 customer sites they hired their own electrician and both of them ran aluminum wire to power the Omni! It’s says it right inside the panel door use copper conductors only. What’s the risk/ difference involved with using it that way?

What do you guys think? Sub forum specifically for Automation systems questions. I work a lot with Hayward Omni PL plus and Omni PL pro. With these being the newest systems from Hayward it could be helpful to have a place just for this subject.

So…. I have pool that is about to be completed for a customer. It’s pretty complex. 2 Laminars, 2 Waterbowls, 2 SWG’s, UV filter and an Omni PL. The 2nd SWG is for the spa. My only concern is that the customer is happy with their setup and that it is fully automated. That being said, is there...

Has anyone had issues with Hayward VSP pumps not working well with any types of GCFI breakers. I have 2 customers that have Omni PL systems. The error is a comm loss from the pump tripping the breaker. The breakers have been replaced but the issue persists. I have talked with other contractors...

I have most of the line of Hayward heaters figured out on how to communicate with the OmniPl. I can get this one to heat but getting the cooling functionality to work is another thing. The firmware is up to date. The only issue is there is only 1 com line terminal. Not separate terminals for...

My name is Chris. I work for a company based out of Ohio. I handle all the automation and low voltage wiring. This place has helped me with quite a few issues that even Hayward has not caught onto yet. One of the main reasons I have joined is to share my knowledge of Omni issues with...
