Thanks for the recommendation. Wasn’t aware of this store. Just ordered from them also.

PB recommended one of two options: 1.) resurface step with same quartz plaster (0.5 day of work), then fill and plaster will cure underwater or 2.) replace this area that was previously damaged by ice abrasion with non-slip 1x1 inch tiles. Both were comparable in price (mostly labor). We've...

I've since reached out to my PB to have them come and inspect and quote for repair (out of warranty). However I've since allows the water to evaporate down below the surface of this step since the damage had occurred on the level surface of the step when it was under water that had frozen...

Thanks @ajw22. Appreciate your response. Is this a relatively minor repair if it isn't occurring elsewhere in the pool? Though I can appreciate it may be challenging, if not impossible, to get it to match. We picked the lightest shade of blue Diamond Brite quartz finish without getting into...

Hi - our pool chemistry is balanced despite pump off for winter. After unpredictable weather last season (ice storms, power outages, etc), we opted to err on the side of caution and close our pool this year for the first time. The water level has lowered just below the tile line to safeguard...

Pool chemistry balanced despite pump off for winter. Water level lowered below tile line to safeguard against freezing. Upon doing so I noticed the lower water level doesn’t cover the surface of small entry step on our tanning shelf. The quartz/plaster finish seems to be every slightly flaking...

Tested pool water. 53F, FC 10, CC 0, CYA 70. But pH (>8.2). Running robot cleaner and submersible pump to keep water mixed. Added muriatic acid to bring pH down to 7.8 territory. Water a bit cloudy in the deep but pool otherwise spotless. Bring on the colder water temps now :-)

@Newdude when you say elevated FC, how high would you suggest? I’m currently at around 5 ppm FC. Thanks.

Woke up and checked pool today and all green is gone. It’s a bit cloudy but 256 oz of 10% liquid chlorine made a big impact. Checked water and it’s 52F and 3 ppm FC.

Thanks for your response. Sorry should’ve been more specific. As we don’t have a pool cover (and no leaves, nearby trees), at end of October, the pool company shut down the pump and filter, cleared the plumbing lines and installed inlet plugs, Gizmos in skimmers, and something listed as Pool...

Hi TFP forum users - as a result of last winter being unpredictable and hazardous, we opted to trying closing our pool this winter for the first time ever. We don’t have a cover and weren’t planning to get one in future if it can be avoided. (Not sure we’ll winterize again) Had pool...

Unfortunately I never could resolve this issue with Dolphin. Ended up giving that robot to a relative and replacing it with a 4WD cleaner. Best thing I ever did. Now it cleans on a schedule, not spending the entire timing spinning on a floor drain.

Also looking to replaced a failed Intellibrite 5G colored LED board with a Sunseeker. Am also using ScreenLogic. when you say colors and light shows can’t just be selected like they can with Intellibrites, what do you mean? How does it work? Will the SSs only light up white? How do you change...

Just ordered 2 of these to replace my Pentair Intellibrite 5G colored LEDs. Am using Pentair EasyTouch and ScreenLogic pool automation. Are these not compatible? Will they just stay on white by default?

Thanks - this was a quick/easy fix. Glad it's hottest part of summer. Had to get into the pool to replace this part. No way I could've done this in winter without breaking the door off (something good to know now). Upon calling Pentair Cust Svc they said that the 08650-0022 OEM skimmer was...

Thanks @JamesW. Do you know whether this SKU includes both the weir door flap itself AND the hinge assembly that attaches with screws? I’d like to get both parts together if possible. https://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352028761.htm

Hi - am trying to locate a weir door replacement for this model in ground skimmer. Can’t quite match my existing door design with website photos. Printed on one side of the door are numbers 8650-4. Perhaps they’ve since upgraded the hinge and door assembly so the weir can be more easily...

i thought that stock Polaris filter was fine. With the option of upgrading to an ultra fine basket if needed?

uograded from a P965iQ to VRX iQ+. The VRX has several significant improvements. Was surprised to see Polaris improved upon an already solid, modern model. The VRX has improve navigation. It’s not a gimmick. After only the initial run (smart cycle), it already seems like a game changer. It...

Seems the VRX iQ+ gets over the air firmware updates. The P9650iq (previous gen) did not. The VRX iQ+ smart cycle and navigation seem significantly improved over the previous models.

Have a spare Dolphin Oasis Z5 pool robot. Was thinking of giving to a relative for their above ground pool. This model cleans the bottom as well as the sides and waterline of an IGP. Could it damage an above ground pool? It always got caught on my drains in the deep end and spun in circles...

That’s a significant detail. You’ll want to know. It’ll be needed.

So I’ve come from a Dolphin Oasis Z5 with treads that constantly perched itself on top of my drains to a Polaris P965iQ (Leslie’s white version) with 3 year warranty, rebate, etc. same as the new VRX-iQ+ without the extra gimmicks to break (blue light, etc.). Anyway, the 4WD Polaris is...

As luck would have it, my IC60 was failing. The service tech was instructed by Pentair to first attempt a flow switch replacement. Once they did that the cell died completely. Fortunately Pentair has agreed to replace the SWCG under warranty. Still the frequent alert behavior and com link errors...

Thanks Jim R. Will be sure to echo back with what I find out. I did not a few older posts on the forum with similar com link errors, however no one ever confirmed back their issue and resolution unfortunately.

Did you ever resolve this issue? Am experiencing exactly the same problem. Thanks!

Hi - have been running my Pentair EasyTouch, ScreenLogic2 and IC60 SWCG for 3 years now without any real issue. Though last year had my IC60 flow switch replaced under warranty. After reinstalling the IC60 this season (was kept in storage during winter, swapped in dummy cell), there was also no...
