My solar temperature sensor is showing incorrect reading, about 4°F too low. I already replaced it and the problem is still the same still the same. Is there a way to calibrate the temperature on the Hayward Prologic? Thanks, Tim

Uploaded again, this tube using YouTube. I hope the audio works now. It's a Hayward TriStar vs 950

Link to video: The grinding sound started a few weeks ago.It comes and goes when the pump is running at full speed however is always there at start up. Thoughts? Thanks, Tim

Thanks! What about applying the tape to the lower side? Or would it come loose to quickly as it's in the water pretty much all the time?

Hello awesome community! My pool cover is 4 years old and has multiple leaks starting this year. There are 2 long fold lines along the cover and all leaks are along these fold lines. The 2 folds basically form an X and right in the center is the biggest leak. Ideally I'd like to repair it but...

thanks for the tips! I could not find anything on craigslist (have been looking for a while) so I just placed an order with Solar Direct. -Tim

Sorry to ask a question that has been asked so often before. I looked through previous posts but could not really find good information yet. I'm looking to buy 5 panels each 4x12 for a self install. My pool company recommended heliocol but they seem crazy expensive with $5000 just for 5...

Hi all, In the process of getting quotes for our new pool, I've received one quote with the below specifications. Do the specs look good or are there some things where I should ask for "upgrade"? Thanks, Tim Pool Specifications Pool Perimeter: 101 lineal feet Pool Size: 15’6” x 35’0”...

Thanks, all! I think I'm convinced to avoid both in-wall and in-floor and save a lot of money :) -Tim

Hi Jim, Thanks a lot for the advise! Would the same apply to in-wall cleaning systems? -Tim

Hello all, We're getting a rectangular pool (36x15) with SWG and automatic pool cover. Location: San Jose, CA We plan to have the cover closed at any time when we do not use the pool. What's a good setup that allows to avoid a sweep? We don't want a sweep for both esthetically and practical...

Thanks, that helps a lot already! I did not really consider a roboter yet but that's a great idea. I always had these vacuums in mind that always need to be put back into the pool after using it. Any other suggestions, specifically on SWG and pool covers or in-floor/in-wall pop ups? Thanks, Tim
