    New Liner - Am I being too picky?

    I had a similar situation with GLI about 10 years ago. I had some lighter panels and requested a warranty on the liner. I decided to take the new liner and store it inside for several years. This was after a discussion with GLI, and they said to I could store for 4 years in a controlled...

    Solid safety pool cover - reasonable price options someone aware of?

    I am on year 12, only a mesh cover, follow TFP to a T, and always open to crystal clear water.

    DIY Fence Around Safety Cover

    So I just had to order a new safety cover after 12 seasons. It would have lasted longer, but my mountain pond pool has concrete coping that is very rough. My current two Golden Retrievers have found that running entire length of yard AND on pool cover is a fun way to get rid of the zoomies...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD

    So I ended up having two issues. 1). The Pool On button did not allow anything to occur when on. No adjustments or running would occur. Pushing SPA On allowed it to run and after a few cycles, the temp reading on the display was in the 100's, so I ordered a thermistor. With these to...

    SPX1607Z2MS Capacitor?

    Is there two capacitors on a Hayward dual speed pump (SPX1607Z2MS)? Mine won't start and without tearing back cover off, I wasn't sure if there was one inside, along with the one on top hump. Does anyone have the size/part#s of them? I looked online and not getting much information. Thanks!

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD

    The Pool button LED is already on and the trigger for heater coming on is the low voltage signal from the panel. So I doubt it is the pad itself. I can go from spa to pool with no issues, it is just that Pool on does nothing.

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD

    ** Oddness - I just pressed SPA button and manually set temp and it started right up. I may either have a control board issue. I need to isolate it from my hayward Pro Logic PL-PS-8 end to rule that out also, but that is merely "turn heater power on if pool temp is less than desired temp", and...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD

    Took lid off, restarted everything to call for heat. Firmware shown, then Temperature in window, along with Pool On LED lit. None of the LEDs are lit on back panel, and no E01 on front panel. Will continue to read, but any tips in the meantime greatly appreciated.

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD

    I have a 9 year old Pentair Mastertemp 400HD. It has been very reliable, with the exception of a past thermister replacement and this past spring I had to replace the manifold due to a crack. It has been running since the manifold for two months no issues. Now, when I call for heat from my...

    Water Bubble on Side of Liner

    Salt is added to pool water. The water behind the pool liner had less salt and assuming it is Ground water. There is no mention of local water.

    Water Bubble on Side of Liner

    I have had a protruding bubble of water on the side of my liner in the shallow end. Today, to test for a leak anywhere, I used dye around skimmer, inlet and steps with nothing found. I decided to pull the bead away from track where the bubble was to capture some of the water. I wanted to...

    Wrinkles in shallow end

    We are in drought conditions, and there is no spring nearby, so I don't think that is probable. Can never be 100%, but the potential is very low.

    Wrinkles in shallow end

    I have done some additional investigation into this wrinkle issue: It has not rained in 3 weeks here in Central PA. I did a 24 hour bucket test with pumps off, no leak detected. I then did a 24 hour bucket test with pumps running, no leak detected. So this is NOT a water issue. This...

    Wrinkles in shallow end

    I drained down to just above skimmers late Fall due to rain. So don't think it got above liner. New potential and need input from the group.: I have these new in pool bar stools that have anti slip rubber feet. I have been keeping in pool, and they do move around on their own due to current...

    Wrinkles in shallow end

    We just noticed a large wrinkle in the shallow end of our pool. First time in 12 years, 5 of which with this liner. It is a vinyl inground pool, with hard-packed sides and concrete horizontal surfaces. No apparent bubbles or leaks. Any advice? I did make some progress today moving from a...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD Thermal Regulator

    I had a thermal regulator go in my Mastertemp 400 heater. I ordered a non-OEM replacement, and I tested it prior to installation. I read it is supposed to open at 130F. I tried at that temp with no luck, none at 140F, more 150F. Above 150F it began to open and seemed to open fully at...

    Longest Life of T15 Cells?

    I didn't state this, but my pump is only a dual speed. I run it on high for 12 hours. My low just doesn't seem to have much power. To clean, I just plug one end and dump muratic acid in it, let sit for 30mins or so and then hose it out. I don't inspect it, just a yearly habit. Overall, I...

    Longest Life of T15 Cells?

    Just checking in with those long-time SWG users - Who has the oldest TCell15 that is still working? I installed mine beginning of 2012 season, and it is still working. I run my pump at 100% for 12 hours, salt generation at 30% in my 20,000 in-ground vinyl pool. I think oversizing the cell and...
