    Chemical levels after beating back the green swamp

    I have the TF100 kit, that is what the numbers are from. Wasn't sure if my PH was low because of all the shocking I had done. Should I get the PH up first then go back to shock level with the chlorine? I went ahead and turned the filter back on. Didn't get the bottom as clean as I had hoped as a...

    Chemical levels after beating back the green swamp

It's just a simple AC/DC with test leads that lights up but I get nothing. Does a manual exist for the for the transformer other than the...

    Pool Rover Jr. possible transformer problem

    I have a Pool Rover Jr. that is about 4 years old. Ran it for the first time yesterday and it was fine. Tried to run it today and nothing happens. It appears to be the transformer as the power comes on, I hit the reset button and after a period of time the light will start switching from the top...
