Thanks! I love the dome just for the James Bond villain vibe its got. Plus who wouldn't want something that has an air lock! But I don't think that is quite the right option for me. You bring up a good point with the solar blanket. Now that I understand how the auto cover works I see I could...

How is this for an ancient thread bump? I can be accused of many things but not for a lack of follow up. It took 3.5 years. We broke ground in November of 2013. It is still not done but the heater clicked on for the first time Sunday so I'm calling it done at this point. Most of that time was...

It is just a goal right now. Trying to determine feasibility. Location is Phoenix. So a few days in the low 30's upper 20's worst case. We might drop the water temp down or turn it off during that time frame.

We moved about 8 months ago from the house that had a pool to a new house without a pool. We are starting design on what we want at the new house. We had the big party pool at the old house. It was nice but I don't need something that big. We just need something to get in when it is hot and...

I assumed they would say the usual "No user serviceable parts, that model has been discontinued, just buy a new one, etc." Which in all honesty is probably the right thing to say. I wouldn't blame them a bit. :) I did expect Wabash to reply since they made the thing and aren't on the consumer...

Bringing this back from the dead now that it is cool enough to work outside again here. ;) I pulled the transformer out but have not been able to find a replacement. I've googled and googled the number on the transformer 6874-2. I've searched and searched the manufacture's site...

The blue and yellow wires looked fine. No indication of burning/scaring. I disconnected them and the fuse did not blow. I guess that means it is the transformer. But none of the lights on the front panel came on. Assuming that is normal. It looks like transformers are no longer available...

It is the fuse on the lower part of the board. Labeled cell fuse. If the cell light is off it does not blow. But as soon as it comes on the fuse will blow. The other 2 fuses, one labeled control fuse on the top of the board and the one in the black fuse holder are both fine. I will try the...

Cell cord is new so I'm doubting that came new with a short. And the install is pretty straight forward. I'll double check it but things are not looking good.

Checked that on the cell that the fuse originally started blowing on and on the new replacement cell. I don't see anything. Also checked the continuity between the 2 pins on both cells. There isn't any, multimeter says open.

My ancient AutoPilot 1000 has been working fine for the last 6 months. Last week it stopped working when the cell fuse blew. I have since replaced the cord and the cell. It is still blowing fuses. I have tried all the types of fuses I can find. Regular, slow blow, and ceramic. The manual...

Re: Two quick questions re: free chlorine levels and how to That sounds pretty close to what I'm seeing just a little north of you in Mesa. So nothing to worry about. Lack of use, shorter days, cooler temps, more cloud cover, denser air/less UV, etc. all add up to make a big difference...

Just got my new R-0011L. Much better. Here is a comparison: If yours looks like the one on the right, time to get a new one. I was getting extremely high calcium numbers with the old reagent. I had to go back and up the PH and TA to get the CSI back in line. I'm pretty sure this has...

It does look very dark and almost like it has become more viscous. Not really thick, but it looks like it has some extra body to it. About the consistency of decent soup. A new bottle is on its way, thanks tftestkits!, so I'll be able to better describe the differences when I can compare the two.
