Almost five years ago I replaced the thermistor in my Minimax NT pool/spa heater. It had been working fine. Once again I was getting the HI code on the display. I was not at all surprised given the arctic conditions we had here in Texas. I knew what to replace so I order up the part and...

It seems like I am chasing yet another problem. I replaced the valve actuator and two days later my pool pump is buzzing. I first checked the intake on the impeller side of the pump. There was nothing obvious but I am really not 100% certain it is clear. I checked the one capacitor on the...

I recently replaced the wheels and drive gear on my Polaris 180 Cleaner in order for it to move better. Now it moves better however, it moves erratically and does not pick up any leaves. Just rolls over them. I am trying to troubleshoot this issue and have come up with some questions in hopes...

I am getting an Error 04 when turning on my Minimax NT heater. During my troubleshooting I cam across a chewed up air hose as seen in the attached picture. Is it possible to replace the hose only or is rerecorded to replace the air switch and the both hoses? If I do have to replace the switch...

Well, I have officially made it to my first year as a new pool owner. Thankfully, I found this forum to learn a thing or two and it has been quite helpful. So now it is the end of the year and I come to ask a couple of more questions. I have a Pentair Boost Pump Model # 7-1874600-20 that...

As a new pool owner I was excited that my pool came with an Pentair automation system. This should make it easier for the newbie, right? Things were going along just fine for 6 months. Then a rather large thunderstorm came through. Power was lost in the whole house. When checking on the pool...
