I have two Pentair lights, that look like they are 20 years old (images attached). I replaced the bulbs about 4 years ago with LEDs when they burned out, and they have worked well since. Unfortunately, this season the lights would not come on, and I noticed there was some water within the...

Today my Pentair WF-8 2HP stopped working. I noticed it was loud, and I shut it off to clean the basket. When I turned it back on it just hummed with no water pumping. I checked and I could turn the impeller. I watched some YouTube videos and a bad capacitor is really the only repair I would...

Group, Was about to open my pool for the year. It's been an unseasonably cool spring here in Long Island. I was planning on getting my Liquid Chlorine at Home Depot, but from the website, it looks like they are either all our, or no longer carrying the $10 3-pack that was so good. Does anyone...

Hopefully it won't be the case this year, but just trying to think ahead, it maybe difficult to get all the chemicals to run the pool safely this year. If I end up not opening it this year, is there anything I need to do? I currently have a loop loc over the pool, but with lots of rain the pool...

I had someone from the gas company come out today to check on an unrelated gas issue, but he wanted to take a look at my pool heater (raypac 406a) to see peak demand on the gas line. When I told him I was going to be closing the pool soon he recommended "removing the heating tubes" from my...

So I recently moved into a new house, that had a Rheem PM406A pool heater. We turned it on a few times during the home inspection, and to figure out the valves for the hot tub, but never ran it for any length of time. I ran it about a week ago and noticed a lot of steam or smoke, so i turned...

Sorry for the dramatics, but we just moved into a new house that has a 44k gallon liner chlorine pool. The pool seemed to be running well for a few weeks, and then yesterday I noticed a pretty big black stain in the bottom of the shallow end (3 or 4 feet in size). From reading these posts I...

Hi, My pool has some sort of specialty eyeball in the floor of the hot tub. I'm including a picture. A few of the retaining rings were cracking, and I wondered if any one knew where I could order more. I can't find them online, but I'm not even sure what to search for. Thanks for any help!!

So I opened my pool on my on for the first time. When I go to run the heater, I get an LO error. My first guess is that I didn't turn the gas on correctly. I took a picture of the gas line. It's hard to tell, because there isn't much handle left, but does that look like I have the line open...

I was hoping for help trouble shooting a problem I am having with one of my Jandy 2440 actuators. I have just been in service mode opening the pool so far. Usually when I flip the switch, the actuator moves to the other position. I had an issue a few nights ago when it went one way, but would...

Opened my pool this weekend, and had some questions in how to balance chemicals. My opening reading was: PH:8+ (bright pink) TA: 30 CA:100 Water temp:60 degrees F According to the taylor Saturation Index that puts me at -.5 which is corrosive. I know slam instructions say take the PH down to...

Hi Group, I was hoping some could help me diagnose this issue. Just opened the pool yesterday (gunite 17k, w/ Hot tub, Jandy DE filter, Hayward 1.5hp super pump) and everything seemed to be going okay, except the pump never got completely primed, and there were also bubbles coming out of of...

Hi Group, I was trying to price out upgrading my current pool control system, to something that could be controlled through a mobile device. Currently everything in my pool (pump, lights, heater, etc.) is controlled through an Aqualink RS8 panel mounted inside my house, which I assume is hard...

A pool came with the house I bought 3 years ago, including a hot tub heated by the Hayward 400fdn. It has worked fine for 3 seasons, and I believe it was at least 10 years old when I got it, so it is no spring chicken. It is controlled remotely as part of the setup. At the end of last season...

Just bought a house with an inground pool and I'm a first time pool owner. When I was diving to the bottom I noticed a screw was dislodged on one of the inlets in the bottom of the pool, on closer examination the inlet was made up of grate, covering what is identified as a Hayward Spinner...
