The other day my pentair warrior SE would not power on. I opened the power supply for it and found a fused on the circuit board was blown. I also found that transistor U5 was blown (had a hole in it). I did not see any other damage, not sure what caused it. Anyone know the value for U5?

I inherited my kreepy krawly with my house and pool and when I first tried mine about 2 yrs ago, it would not move either. It ended up being the "flapper" (pie wedge shaped rubber/plastic piece that moves back and forth). That's the only moving piece in the kreepy, and does wear down. It has...

Mine was the same way, maybe a little lower. As soon as it's warm enough, I'm going to have to get in the pool and look for a hole/tear in the liner. That's my first guess as to the cause, a very small leak.

Was hoping to get the pump going last night, but could NOT get the pump outlet union to stop leaking where it threads into the top of the pump. The pump came with two unions from Harris. They fit a little loose. I tried teflon tape, and then switched to pipe dope, would not stop leaking...

I'm replacing my single speed pump with a harris 3hp vsp (upgrading from a 1hp), and installing a circupool rj45+ so I can stop by chlorine. I'm keeping everything 220v. I've read on here that you don't want the swg to run when the pump isn't running for safety reasons. The swg has the flow...

Thank you all for your suggestions. Hoping to have a break in the rain today to work on this and I'll post some pictures of what I end up doing.

I'm going to replace my hayward 1hp pump with a harris vsp 3hp for the VS benefits and lower electrical bills (hopefully). I'm also installing a circupool rj45+ swcg. The hayward pump came with the pool and previous owner did not use any unions or threaded fittings, and I had to fix a leak...

Cya is at 80

I did the AA treatment on Sunday. I started with 2.5 lbs, waited about 1 hour and noticed very little change. Added another 2.5 lbs, and after another 30 minutes, all but the darkest stains were gone. I let it sit over night, and the next morning, crystal clear! I've since dumped 6" of...

No I do not have a water softener

I've ordered 5lbs ascorbic acid, should arrive next week. Local pool store could not test iron, out of tests, maybe in a week or two. Not my day today! But, I'm sure the pool water has iron, unless something else reacts to vitamin c? No iron stains in the house, so tap water is probably...

We’re on public sewer, not sure about the clean out, will have to look. The back yard is 1 acre with the pool near the far end. No iron staining anywhere in the house, I doubt the tap water has iron. The white areas are where we dropped in some vitamin c tablets randomly. You'll also see a...
