Yes, totally understand. I hope my post didn't come off that way. The Pentair rep had me a bit riled up talked about how the online retailers ship their products and the products are not made to be shipped which damages them...I mean how do they get them to the retailers then?!? Just another...

Called Marina and spoke with Margaret. She is going to help me troubleshoot (thinks it may be the cable) and deal with Pentair directly. She was very upset to hear what the customer service person told me.

The customer service person told me that since Marina Pool sells online that anything purchased from them is only 60 days parts. I have not called Marina, I will try that - thanks.

Maybe I am missing something here but I purchased one of these from Marina Pool Spa and Patio last May just to now be told by Pentair I only had a 60 day parts warranty. Robot only worked for 4 months last season and now is an expensive anchor. Machine starts with tracks going in one...

Thanks. Ironically it’s been working the last few days and I haven’t experienced the issues above again. Would a start capacitor fail intermittently or should I investigate some other potential issue? I’m considering just replacing the motor (found it on amazon for 340) as finding parts...

Hi all Working on troubleshooting issues with my Hayward tri-star w speed pump. When on vacation over the 4th we returned to the pump breaker being ‘popped’. Flipped it on and everything seemed to function as it should until this morning. Pump turns on high fine and runs in high with no...

Just ordered one of these. Amazon has decent prices now. Was 39.00 with free next day delivery. Amazon.com : Flow Switch Assembly without Tee Replacement Kit for Hayward Salt Chlorine Generators : Patio, Lawn Garden

I understand that for SWCG pools, the minimum and target FC levels are lower (at the same CYA level) than compared to manually dosed pools and the shock FC level is the same for both (at an equal CYA level). What about the FC maintainence level for yellow/mustard algea? Is this recommended FC...

Dave - I'm fairly close to you (in Durham) and plan to keep the pool open this winter. We have tons of leaves, but I'm not ready to drill holes into our decking for a cover just yet. For both me and the OP, what are your priorities with the pool during the winter in this climate? Cheers and...

Maybe I'm not reading enough into it, but if it's listed for underwater use, then wouldn't it be fine for above ground? I know that if something is not listed for use underwater then you shouldn't use it underwater but wouldn't it be ok the other way around??

They applied a release agent (colored dust) to the coping section before stamping. It is a light grey color which was only slightly darker than the rest of the deck until they sealed the coping. Once they sealed it the color really came out creating a nice contrast b/w the coping and deck...

Sounds suspect to me and would be cause for concern. Tough to say for sure without seeing the hole, etc. I have seen threads on here where people have encountered a tree burial ground under the pool site and don't recall it costing 10k to deal with... You are just now getting started and...

This isn't pool construction specifc, but part of our backyard work. I built this last weekend for our outdoor tuxedo cat. He needed a place to get out of the rain and cold. I refuse to place a plastic store bought cat/doghouse on the new deck...so i built him this. I term it the "Catty Shack".

I've been using the aquaconnect so far this year and have been very pleased. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/72675-Hayward-Aquaconnect-vs-Tabletop-wireless-remote
