I have a dolphin S200 that’s probably 4 to 5 years old. A couple of days ago we got a whole bunch of rain and I noticed when I went to turn on my cleaner that the GFCI had tripped. This is not the first time that’s happened after a heavy rain. The problem is after I reinstated the power when I...

I have a clock timer that stopped working. I need to replace it but not sure what model. It has intermatic E10694 stamped on it. It is 220 going into this and I believe 110 output to SWG controller. I am not an electrician, but I feel like I do this job myself by wiring at exactly the same way -...

OK first my apologies this will probably be a long thread but I want to make sure I am explaining everything thoroughly. I really appreciate any help that I may receive. I have a 2011 Sundance Altamor 880 I purchased brand new. It has an air pump, then it has a button labeled pump II that runs...

I have a Hayward AQR 15 that is starting on its third cell after I’m guessing 5-6 years. The cell that’s currently on there I had as a replacement, which I ended up never using, but it only had a one year warranty. i’ve had the cell for a couple of years, so there is no warranty on it, all the...

Hello I have a Sundance Altamar 880. It’s been a pretty much trouble free and it’s probably new in 2010 model. My wife called me and my grandkids were going to get in it but she says there is no power at all. She has checked both breakers, once I get home I will confirm. But I was hoping to get...

Having trouble with my salt water generator, has been reading low salt so I added salt. Now according to my sodium chloride test kit there it is around 3800 ppm, but the readout even after adding the salt showed 2800 ppm. I had to leave town for a couple of days - now I come back and it says...

Hi everyone, I just posted a few days back about a FLO error. I want to head and replace the flow switch, and it fix the problem. So for the last week I’ve been enjoying my hot tub. I went to get it tonight, and luckily I looked before I got in it because the temperature is 116°. I seen it...

Hi everybody it’s been a while since I posted on here. I have a Sundance Altamar probably 10 years old. A couple of weeks ago I changed the water, and I got a bit lazy and I allowed the pH to drift up and developed some scale. It is very embarrassing because in 10 years I’ve always had perfect...

I have a 2 hp pump, that does nothing but run my waterfall and one other small feature. It is old and it has quit working. I’m sure the motor has fried. It’s probably over 10 years old and the pump need replacing at the same time. I see on Amazon and Walmart I can buy a 2 hp for around $225...

I need some advice on my salt water generator. It has a T 15 cell. I noticed the other day it was reading my salt levels low, so I added salt. Come to find out it was not accurate and I ended up with about 5000 ppm salt in my pool. That was my first mistake I should’ve tested my salt, but it...

In one of my return lines, I am getting air bubbles. This only happens in one return line, and it is one of the return lines that is closest to the pump with what seems to be the most outlet pressure. I’ve always noticed little bubbles in this return, and for some reason I thought maybe it had...

My pool cleaner work fine up until today. In fact I ran through a cycle today and it worked fine. Now whenever I hit the button, the blue light blinks five times it starts to move and then just shuts off. I have reset it three times and it continues to do the same thing. When I press the start...

I have a Sundance Altamar series 880 Hot Tub. It is probably seven or eight years old, I bought it new. A few months ago I had a flo indicator flashing on my display screen, and I replaced the flow switch and it corrected the problem. Today I noticed the flo flashing again and the water...

I have a Sundance Altamar, I definitely need to replace the cover. Curious if anybody has any good reviews of an online place to purchase one. The local dealer where I bought my Sundance spa is not a good option. Thx

Since the water temperature has dropped low enough where my SWG does not operate, what level of sanitizer should I need to maintain? Normally with my stabilizer sitting around 60 to 70, I’ve been keeping it at ~5 ppm, but now it is around 2 to 3 ppm wondering with the cold water if I need to up...

Just curious, I've noticed ever since i have lived here, for almost 2 years, the pH in my well water is around 6.9 - 7. Is that anything to be concerned about? Of course we use it for cooking, it's actually really good drinking water, but I've often wondered about the pH being so low.

I let this little critter go in the yard so he could go eat mice and insects. Brown snake also known as a rat snake, they love to swim. I noticed him as I was midway in during a dive on the pool surface!

Time to clean my hot tub. I am going to order some Ahh Some but was wondering about adding vinegar for a few days while I wait for it. Is this a good idea or should I just use the Ahh Some? I have seen different opinions on vinegar, could it damage anything? I have a Sundance ~400 gallon...

I know there were some discussions about the recommended level of CYA in salt water pools. Did the recommendation change? What is the minimum CYA I should maintain in my pool using a SWG? I checked my CYA and it as decreased to ~35 PPM......Thanks all.

I noticed upon a week ago what appeared to be a white build up on the side of my pool wall below the skimmer, did not think much of it, but now I'm starting to see a few of them throughout my pool. They appear to be buildup of calcium scale, but they are hard like little rocks I can feel them...

Went to cleaning one of my skimmer baskets, there was a large frog in the basket. I was simply going to pull out the basket and remove him with the leaves, but halfway out he jumped, and sure enough......down the suction he went. This is in the skimmer that I thought may have a leak because when...

I have a Sundance Altamar just over five years old. On occasion I get a FLO error. When this happens the heater kicks off. So far, by adjusting the temperature lower than where it is when I notice it, I can wait and a few minutes and then raising it back up it seems to work again. As an example...

I have been so busy with the first year of pool ownership, I really did not think much about changing out my spa water. Now that it's colder, I went to dip in my spa and realized / remembered the water is probably 10 months old. I have not ignored it, I have always kept it in perfect condition...

Obviously, everybody knows that salt water will not freeze like freshwater, but I'm wondering with the small amount of salt in a swimming pool, does it have any effect at all on helping pipes from freezing? I keep around 3000 ppm in my pool and where I live temps will get down to single digits...

Got unusual warm here today, 88°. Pool temp climbed back to 70°, and yes, my granddaughter and I went swimming! [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As some of you know this is my first year with a pool. I bought this house in December, and the pool was in terrible shape, all green, had to be drained and replastered. Want to make sure I close it properly when the time comes. I do not have to drain it, as very seldom do we get a hard freeze...

This morning I went to my control panel to turn the percent of output down on my AquaRite T15, I noticed although it was powered on and it said generating, that down below the inspect cell light was flashing. I did not have time to do anything as I had to get to work. Curious what could be the...

I put a new filter elements in my filter when my pool was replastered about six months ago. There is a large element and small element, just curious if a person should just clean these when the pressure rises or if there is a time frame? The pressure remains very low, around 3 psi. It always has...

I want to add some kind a shower out on my patio near my pool. I have good drainage including two drains on my patio, also if I offset it, it has a natural drain off my patio into my lot near a French drain. Does anybody have some kind of freestanding or other type of shower they might...
