Just had a brand new iAqualink 2.0 system installed and even got it connected to my wireless network (solid yellow and green lights). However, when I go to their website to add the device to my account, after typing in the serial number and a location name, I get the error "Make sure device is...

So I had a double whammy- a hole in my cover over the winter and two weeks of no power to my pump due to a cut electrical line. The result is quite green. This is not my first SLAM and I have been successful before using the advice on TFP. I really thought I had it down but I am on day #13...

So I have a “spa” attached to my pool and I put it in quotes because when they built it they did not isolate it from the rest of the pool. Currently it has It’s own 2hp pump using 2” plumbing. My pool uses a 1.5hp VS pump and 1.5” plumbing. I have several valves that need to be turned in order...

Due to a story that would be too long to tell here, I currently have no power to my pool's electrical subpanel. Electrician needs to run a new line from the house, which will be in about a week. In the meantime, I would like to get some water circulating and filtering. My plan was to hook my...

I am thinking about automating my pool but I am still currently running mostly old equipment. I do have a Hayward Super Pump VS variable speed pump for the pool. I have an old Lars heater which I am surprised each season that it fires up again. The VS pump and heater are controlled by an...

I found what I thought was a good deal on a gallon of liquid stabilizer (brand was Pool Mate). But it came out of the bottle as sort of a white sludge and if I remember correctly it should have truly been a liquid. Furthermore, when I tested the water 24 hours later, the CYA had barely moved...

My pool is about 40 years old and I believe still has its original plumbing. Every year, without fail, there is a leak which needs to be repaired at significant cost. Luckily for me, the leaks have been pretty close to the pump and have never required pulling up our patio. My question is at what...

After my Aquabot died I did a lot of reading on this forum and was pretty sure I was going with a Nautilus plus. I hated cleaning the filter bags of the Aquabot, so a top-loading cartridge sounded great. But I do get a lot of leaves in my pool and read that cartridge based vacuums may not be the...

I have been SLAMing my 30000 gal pool for the past couple of days to deal with an algae problem. Cya level is 80, so my goal has been to keep FC at 31. Initial CC level was only 0.5. The first night had chlorine loss of only 1.5 ppm, will repeat the test tonight. My problem is, although the...

I inherited a pool with several issues when I bought my house and was hoping for some advice on the best and most cost-effective way to update it. It is a 30 year old 30,000 gallon gunite freeform pool with a “spa” area. I put that in quotes because there is absolutely nothing separating this...
