Similar story here but with different conclusion. After working perfectly for most of last season I had a similar issue with my MX8. Zodiac support sent me a new A-side control. That seemed to help for a few days but before long the MX8 ws running in circles again. Over the winter I took the...

Re: New DIY Vinyl IG Pool Base/Bottom Problems - Please help I used a sand/cement mixture for the bottom of my pool a few weeks ago. In the end the finish was good but not great. There were hairline cracks in a few places. My solution was to skim coat the entire surface with thinset...
