I was going to do the whole housing because my current housing is leaking. My experience in the past has taught me that once you have a leak in a pool light you will always have a leak :/ Thanks for the information!

Since I’m replacing an exsisting incedenscent light I’m guessing I go with 120v. I know the length needed and where the junction box is. Not worried about the Morse code as I probably won’t change colors too often.

Looking to replace my incandescent pool light with a LED color changing light. Found the Pentair IntelliBrite 5G. Seems like I can run this off one switch and change the colors by turning the switch on-off-on. Anything else I should know before beginning this endeavor (other than electrical...

My pool has been losing water quicker than would be expected this time of year. Temps between 60 and 80, losing 1 - 2 inches a week. The water level drops regardless of whether I select the skimmer or drain intake. Where do I start? What do I do next?!? Thanks!

Thanks! I looked it up, the pool cleaner is a kreepy krauly pool cleaner.

I just moved into a new to me house with a pool. Previous house has a pool but the equipment was completely different. New house has a DE filter, precious had a cartridge- I think I understand backwashing, but haven't tried it. There is only 1 skimmer, it seems the valve lets you choose...

How did you resolve this? Thanks!!!

The heater isn't turning on and the e command isn't keeping time. Should there be a voltage across the heater wire? There isn't and I'm afraid I have a bad board. It is also losing a couple hours over a few days.

I had my gunite pool replastered dark blue. I have been warned that I can't use certain types of chlorine or shock as it will "bleach" the finish. Can you help me to understand what I can and can not use? Thanks!

Thanks for all your help!!! I replaced the comm wire and everything is working again. A few hours of my time is much better than the $700 control panel the pool guy wanted to hit me with.

i need new connectors to my filter and heater? Where do I buy theses?

First, it is a HDF unit. Don't know if that makes a difference. The filter is clean. I tried jumping the 2 limit switches with no luck. I'll try the comm wire next. Is there anything special about that? As a side note, when I pull the connector for the temp sensor the blower will turn on...

Re: Hester not turning on H series 400k BTU

My Hayward heater won't turn, is displaying a LO service code and won't get out of bypass mode. I have found the following troubleshooting tip but I don't know how to fix the problem. Thanks!!! The display will continue to show “bo” for 10 seconds, then “LO” will be displayed again. a. If the...

Thanks for the confidence. I will google and give it a try. Thanks for your help!

New capacitor? Sounds like a job for the professionals.

The boaster pump on my Polaris isn't working properly. When I turn the pump on the motor hums but it does not turn. Then when I spin the implier the pump starts and is running fine. Thoughts? Diagnosis? Thanks!

When can I put my automatic cleaner back in the pool?

Thanks. Other than brushing and keep the chemicals in balance, should I do anything else.

I just had my pool replastered dark blue. It's been 2 weeks. I have been brushing the pool 1 - 2 times per day and the chemicals are in balance. The pool still needs acid every other day or so. There are a few streaks on the steps, a small white spot on the bottom and some different...

Anyone have a recommendation, I need my pool replastered. Nothing fancy. Plaster tinted blue. No pebble tech. Thanks.

The lady at my local pool store told me to remove my Polaris from the pool for 24 hours after I shock. She said this would extend the life of the Polaris because the plastic tubing and parts get bridle faster when exposed to high chlorine levels. Thoughts?

My very old cleaner has finally died. In looking for a new cleaner I am focusing on Polaris. Because I plan on staying in the house for a while I am lean towards the 3900 sport. Thoughts? Also, the booster pump still works but is older (~15 years old). Is there any advantage or reason to...

Thanks. My only values are after the filter so I guess I will be using a sump pump.

Do I need to do anything on the simmer baskets so they don't suck air?

I have a spigot right above my pump, on the line between the pump and the filter. Can I use this to drain the pool? I need to lower my CYA. Thanks.

I had a reel for my solar cover, but that broke and was a pain to move from the pool to behind the garage. I'm looking for an easy solution to remove the cover. During the spring and fall I will frequently remove the cover on the weekends and then replace it during the week. I've read about...

I have a Letro Legend cleaner and want to know about the various "add-ons" I've seen at the pool store. Currently on my tail are hard rubber washers that I have replaced a few over time as they wear down. But now I've seen at the pool store foam cylinders that go on the tails to help with...

Thanks. I will check the sensor tonight. I didn't install it...

It's telling me the water temperature is 84 degrees when the actual water temperature is closer to 70, trust me. :) The air temperature at the time is in the mid 80s.
