    Can actuator valve be turned manually?

    The kiddos had a good time in the spa last night and things were working great. Afterwards I turned the filter back to the pool only to find an empty spa an hour later. Although the kids thought this was grand, not quite sure if they liked the spa better with-or without water, I saw trouble...

    How often/long do you run your Cleaner?

    I'm curious how often (days/week) and long (hrs/day) do you run your Cleaner? Also does it change between the winter and summer seasons if you don't close your pool? I currently have mine set at 3 hrs/day 7 days/wk which seems too frequent to me. Thanks

    IntelliTouch with Wireless Automation

    We are in the process of getting a pool with the IntelliTouch automation system. Although we are not getting a lot of the wireless automation starting out (just a small wirelss controller), it looks to have the capabilities down the road. One area I was interested in was the use of PC or...
