From previous posts posts I searched was the 280 is the reliable workhorse. The pool store seems to think the 3900 has been updated and is the better purchase. With the current rebates. The 280 would be $495 vs $609 for the 3900. Anyone have the updated version of the 3900? Think for $100...

New house and first pool. Noticed the pool light is tripping the gfci, if I only turn the spa light on all is fine. When I look at the light it is half full of water. Does this mean I need a whole new fixture or just a new gasket and bulb?

New pool. Any special instructions for the auto fill if not closing pool? Last year we had several days below freezing. Does the freeze protection turn everything else on when the temps drop?
