Thanks!!

Thanks!!!

Your filter will come with a plastic release tube that you can insert after you remove the small plug cap. Of course it's usually messy too and you can skip straight to the mess as you say. Thanks for the comment!

@@monohydrate2 thank you. I actually have been a trainer/teacher for tech reviews of software. Thanks so much for the comment.

That's funny That's how I feel about it really it just is a time saver and I know it's done right. It's also funny that I disclosed my name and I never really do that on my channe, also very rarely show my face, because I think it should be about fixing stuff and not looking at my ugly mug :-). My day job is doing technical videos and stuff like that in my face is on enough of those. Thanks for noticing and I hope it helped. FJ's forever.

You're welcome!!

Great to hear!

My transformer is separate because it's not a pentair brand. Therefore it runs off of 115 volt, and I wired it into one of the relays.

I am thrilled it helped. I apologize that the video was a little jerky. That's great to know because I now need to do our passenger side!

@@SwimmingintheDeep Yes, made things much easier. If you already have the replacement passenger door actuator you can see that it doesn't have the hole for the top rod, I had to do a double take since I thought I ordered the wrong part.

So glad to help. Just remember to check your tire pressure :-)

I hear ya! Thanks for the comment and good luck with yours.

That is frustrating. Their tech support is pretty good, even after the warranty. Give them a try.

Hi, honestly I have not really used it much yet.

There's a set screw on your fan blade where to attaches to the shaft of the motor, if that's what you're talking about check that. If your motor mounts have fallen off, there's a chance that you might be able to retighten all those and use some new hardware. Otherwise you may need a new motor. To get a new motor for an older unit. Check out and see if there's a Grainger around you. If you take your motor into them they can match it up. There's a few things that are important when matching up these motors. The frame size, the amps, the RPMs, and the direction that they spend either cockwise or counterclockwise. Generic replacement motors you can flip them from cockwise to counterclockwise with the change in wires or something else in the motor will tell you about that. You're dealing with electricity so make sure you turn off the disconnect. Also there's a such thing as dual speed and variable speed motors. You may have a single speed motor. All this will be dependent on how many wires that you have. You may be lucky in fine that you can find one with the exact number of wires you have then you replace a wire for wire. That is if you have to replace the motor. Good luck.

I don't remember what I said in the video but working and spinning 15 to 20 drops of oil would not be too much.

Hoping I don't have to replace the pump

@@tjallen1904 Maybe try and see if something is stuck in the impeller. You mean it seems to run for a split second? Turn the power off and take the pump off the impeller and inspect.

Hi there, Unless your unit is very similar to mine, the motor is likely to be different. Try to match the RPMs/Amps and frame size of the motor. All of that should be on the side. An easy thing to do is to take your motor to a place that sells motors and they'll help you match it up. Look for a Grainger near you or a motor shop.

Thanks! I'll update the title.

@@richardlee8980 I'm so glad they helped. Best of luck, thanks for the comment.

Glad it helped! I actually refer to my own video real quick before each change :-)

Yes, great cars but little things like this drive me nuts sometimes. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment!

I think I understand what you are saying and it is normal. The level in the autofill area is exactly the same level as the pool level. The hole that goes into your pool allows for the two levels to remain equal. If you place your hand down in the water inside the pool at the hole...you will likely feel the new cold water entering there very slowly. You don't notice the movement as that hole is a lot bigger than the diameter of a water hose.

Start at the Salt Water Chlorinator power transformer. If it is like mine, it is in your Easy Touch box. Carefully use a multimeter to see if it is outputting voltage when your pool pump is on. Your dealing with either 120v or 240v so use caution. If you don't feel comfortable doing that get a friend who is.

Thank you. I might have the wrong transformer. Its a little black box ??? My new cell is I40 pentair

@@johnnfumo Do you have an easytouch system, meaning your main box and breakers is called the Pentair Easytouch? if so, look at the door wiring diagram. You'll be looking for the area named Saltwater chlorinator. That is the transformer. It is the bigger of the two transformers in the box. Alternatively, if you don't have an easytouch system you may have a power supply box that is the separate transformer.

@@johnnfumo look at this link, it should jump you to where I point to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enK8Y2iaoqpra5Isi=GLaEhxy4ce-q6l97&t=676

Thank you. I might have the wrong transformer. Its a little black box ??? My new cell is I40 pentair its a Pentair PP40 power pack

Thanks for the comment!

Hi there. I need a little bit more information too understand your question. Does your lighting system have a timer that is mechanical? Mine is digital and is set using my app on my phone or the small interface on my easytouch system.

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment.

That's cool. Does it provide two-way feedback? Like does it confirm that something's running at the time that it's on? Hooked into doing this but instead decided just to fix my board, I now use my old screenlogic system with the intended automation that pentair gives. I had to get a hot air workstation and replace the comm chip but it now works flawlessly again with two-way feedback. Your system would make for an excellent KZbin video if someone's not already done it. I would watch it.

@@SwimmingintheDeep, yes, I designed it to display circuit status as unconfirmed in different color. As soon as the SW sees EasyTouch status message confirming it was turned on or off, the color changes. This typically takes about 10s. Good point, I should probably make a video of the UI.

May I suggest, if you have a remaining plug, take it to a hardware store like Ace and see if they can find something in their screw assortment that will suffice. They may have an aluminum pin or plastic screw or something.

If it stops working also check to make sure that the system did not disable the spa side remote. If it gets conflicting information, it will disable the spa side remote, and you have to go into the system and turn it back on.

@@SwimmingintheDeep thanks for the reply, the spa side I set it up is working fine. the panel inside stopped working so it's either the panel itself or the com port on the board outside. I'm getting a new board in a week I'll keep you posted. it might just be a coincidence but because of that is the only thing that was added to the system and drew the power from the com port. so I would suggest to be safe by using the power from another source

It sounds like its at the end of its life? How old is it? 5+ years? If so, it's done I bet. Thanks for the comment/question.

No its 1.5 yrs

@@leticiaalvarez1344 I would call pentair and let them help you troubleshoot it. I had good experience with them in the past even after the warranty. They'll try to help diagnose it even if it's out of warranty

@@SwimmingintheDeep nice I’ll def give them a call thank you for your videos and responses I really appreciate it

I've left the last few pieces of PVC unglued. I basically disassemble it after garden season and then put it back together. I've done this for the last few years now. I have drilled a few extra holes and I put a cap at the end of the system so it backs up full water in indeed drips out the holes. Also if I have an area that tends a drip more than the others I put a bucket under it and then just use the bucket to water the rest of the garden.

Thanks for the update. One thought; have you ever measured (or guess at) volume of water generated per day/week/month? BTW: Moved to F.B. Ga 3 yrs ago. Thanks for "local" info.

​@@michaelreott2423 That's a good question and actually that bucket that I have is 3 gallons. Depending on how much humidity it's removing... I bet there is as much as 4 gallons in one day some days... believe it or not.

I think so. Test you theory with a jumper wire, emulating a switch.

Hey. First off just go check your tire pressure with a regular gauge. If your tire pressures are okay then you're okay. If you want to have the system fixed, go get it fixed if you want to bypass it and not have it work anymore and not have the light be on, you can do the hack in this video at your own risk. Thanks for the comment.

@@SwimmingintheDeep thank you yeah I check with my local mechanic about pressure all ok I think one tire sensor have problem how much it will cost to fix do u know

@@SwimmingintheDeep last question my one tire sensor maybe is problem if I drive around it will not affect or not make any problem?

@@johnstevens5410 no you're perfectly safe as long as you know that the air pressure is indeed good.

@@johnstevens5410 Sorry, I do not know about the cost to replace just one. Hey, about checking your air pressure, you should really figure out how to do that, its really easy. Just get a simple gauge. Here's a link to one. amzn.to/3W6H06q The required air pressure for your tires is on the label on your door jamb of the driver's door.

Thanks for the comment. You must be close to us. Forsyth county is where we are. Very hot today.

Thanks Roberta!

I love to read comments like this! Thanks for taking the time to post! When I was a younger man on our first small home, I called an HVAC company to help fix my unit. They took my money for a lengthy inspection and said nothing was wrong, I ended up fixing it myself and I vowed to never get taken again.

Hi, I never have and I asked AI and it said, it's not ideal. Use mineral oil if you have it. The same one you might take as a laxative. BTW, I never have replaced this motor, still going strong! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks! Cucumbers are now coming in, peppers are young but hanging on the plant. Lots of green tomatoes, can't wait until they ripen.

Thanks for asking. Here's the update video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oISshXZ8orWfo6c . About two months ago I transplanted them straight to the yard from this pot. They had a lot of roots, 6 times as much or more as this video. Two are still in the pot. All that were doing well in the video are still doing well. I am watering them when I remember with water from a bucket. I imagine next year they may gain two feet then three-four feet a year after that. Look for the update by this weekend and I'll try to remember to post a link here on your comment as well. Thanks for the comment!

Here's the update video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oISshXZ8orWfo6c

That's a simple way to extend your hardwired network, I like it and maybe should have thought of it myself! :-) Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for the comment!!

Has it ever worked successfully? Maybe try another router.

Good point. I don't vacuum my pool because my Pentair pool cleaner does a pretty good job by itself. I just got a robotic pool cleaner today and will be posting a review of that soon...maybe it will do even better. . Maybe you can try looping the wire lower in the basket on both sides from the inside. Thanks for the comment!
