    Pentair-pool heat turning on automatically

    No buttons were pressed. It happens when it comes on in the morning. Not sure what “disconnect heater from automation” means. The only automation I have set is the pool pump coming on in the morning, turning off at the end of the day and the perimeter lights coming on at night.

    Pentair-pool heat turning on automatically

    I’ve had the Pentair ScreenLogic system for three years. All of a sudden the pool heat will come on by itself upon startup in the morning. Can anyone tell me why this would start happening after 3 years? I’ve not changed any of the settings or schedules.

    Pebble tec rust

    My PC finally came out and is going to have it fixed. They have no idea what it is but luckily I saved several of the pieces that were on the pool deck. They are going to drain the pool to fix it. But now my question is shouldn’t they have to pay my water bill to refill the pool and supply the...

    Pebble tec rust

    Oh I see. The pavers were set about a month earlier. This happened right after the plastering. Like super noticeable. I would have noticed it if it would have happened when pavers were put in

    Pebble tec rust

    These look just like them. Do they shot blast the old concrete just before they do the plaster? I just know that they used a jackhammer thing to get rid of the old plaster, right at the beginning and it was stripped down to the concrete. I’m wondering if they do some fine tuning with this just...

    Pebble tec rust

    Thanks for all of your replies! Yes, at first I thought a piece of machinery broke and that’s why there were hundreds of tiny beads. I had the PC come out and take a look and he basically shrugged his shoulders. There was also some kind of black stuff on a few of the pavers which he replaced...

    Pebble tec rust

    I do still have some embedded in the polymeric sand joints. I took pics of them. Also took a pic of one of the spots in the pool. If you look real close, it is an actual “pebble” that is rusting.

    No. We don’t use any fertilizer nor have we had any landscaping done where someone else would have.

    Pebble tec rust

    I wish I did know the company but I don’t. I was not here when they came Unfortunately. I do not have any tablets. I’m not so concerned at getting rid of the rust as I am wondering why a ”pebble” would rust! But I’m open to suggestions! I’m just afraid I’m going to have to sue this guy. There...

    Pebble tec rust

    No shells. Just regular pebble tec mini pebble Caribbean blue. It’s definitely the actual pebble that is rusting. I also caught some in the pump basket. Which is also stained with rust because of it.
