Sorry, but another freeze protection question. I have a Polaris SOL controller with freeze protection enabled. It is kicking on freeze protection intermittently, but is not functioning the pool/spa valve like it should so it's only pumping to the pool. Anyone have the same controller and...

I have a couple of questions. It's getting cold here in Houston and I've noticed that my blower was set to come on with the pumps for freeze protection, which was bubbling over the sides of the spa and causing the us to lose water. I've turned off the blower as part of the freeze protection...

I'm preparing to replace a 20 year old MiniMax NT with a Mastertemp 400. I bought the Mastertemp, which was delivered yesterday, with the intention of replacing it myself as I've replaced pumps and filters, etc. in the past. Yesterday after looking at the gas connection to my existing heater...

I have a Minimax 400 pool heater and I can't get the power light on the board to light up. I'm getting 26 V out of the transformer to the board (orange and white wires), I assumed it was the board, order a new one, and am getting the same thing on the new board. No power light. When I tested...

I have a Pentair Clean and Clear Plus 520 that is leaking at the outlet. From what I can tell from reading I should be able to get this union off, but so far can’t get it to budge. I can see pvc cement on the pipe going into the union, so thinking that might be what’s preventing me from turning...

Hey guys, I need some advice. I setup a Stenner pump for my chlorine a little over a year ago and it's been awesome up to this point. I travel a month at a time, so the setup is perfect with the 15 gallon tank to last while I'm gone. I left a few days ago and my wife just told me that somehow...

I'm new to TFP and this is my first post about my new pool. I don't have any previous experience with pools, but I'm looking forward to learning and am excited to have found this site. We just bought this house a couple of months ago and I'm ready to get the pool under control. The pool has a...
