I have a 6 year old HP21404T that the compressor was not running. Had an HVAC guy out today who confirmed my compressor is shot. He was surprised because everything looked brand new inside and was ok. Now my dilemma, repair at the tune of 3k or replace for 5k. The compressor warranty is 5 year...

My pool was built in a 2015 and I began having the same issue last year. Upon opening this year I had at least six new holes which I filled with Bondo and painted. At the time I searched the forums and found two other post with similar pitting of the aluminum coping. In those posts it was...

I feel your pain first hand. I discovered the same issue, maybe worse, with my then 3 year old pool (now in it's 5th year) manufactured by Cardinal Pools. The link to that discussion is here Steel Wall Corrosion On 3 Year Old IG Pool Of course Cardinal mfg sent a rep to inspect and take photos...

I have a basic vinyl lined IG pool, 24k gallons, nothing fancy, with a SWG. I keep my water in line with recommend TFP levels, with the pH set at 7.5 and usually go through two gallons of muriatic acid over a 4 month season. Before the CAT 1000 I was still using about the same. I do confirm the...

I wish I knew about this a couple of years ago before I dropped $1500 on a CAT1000 pH controller.

Hey tylerpenn, pm me, I might be interested in that OmniHub

would J-B Water Weld work to fill this mysterious bb sized hole in the coping or is there a better product? I would like it flush to the surface so it would be some what invisible.

Thanks Newdude! I don’t think is could have been hit with a bb as we are on a couple of acres and the angle it is on would have had to come from my house or patio and my son doesn't have a BB gun. I will fill it with expoxy and just dab a little paint on that spot. Anybody else have mysterious...

My son was swimming this evening and pointed out a small hole in the aluminum bullnose coping on our pool. It’s about the size of a bb. The pool is only 5 years old and I can’t imagine what would cause this. Can I put some epoxy in the hole and sand and paint?

Thanks everyone for your help. Pool noodles it is in addition to the gizmo!

I have had a pool company close my pool for the winter since we had it built. They blow out the lines, pour anti-freeze down the skimmer and then close it off with a "Super Gizzmo". I noticed this season that there are some hair line cracks in both skimmers near the adjustable collar and on the...

Still swimming here in Hagerstown, MD. Heat pump is keeping the pool at 85 degrees but is running quite a bit over night with the cool temperatures $$$$. Last year we closed the end of October and will probably do the same this year.

Make sure your vs pump is compatible with the Hayward Omnihub Pool and Spa Controller by contacting their tech support with the model number, unless you already know. I was interested in that controller but it turns out my 3 year old Hayward vsp is not compatible. I would only have on/off...

I'll get out there Saturday and snap a pic, but looking at the manual for the TriStar SP3200VSP it shows the wall mount digital control interface connected to the RS485, which I am using. According to the manual, the digital input terminals on the right are used for external relay speed control...
