    I have a low profile 6 port A&A and my spa has 4 pop ups, but only 3 pop up. I've run the system for years (not original owner) and known this, but not sure how i could try and fix it. I've taken the popup out and tried to dig around in the hole to see if it was clogged but only some calcium...

    I have 3 lights in my pool, 1 in the spa and 2 in the pool. One in the pool is not working, but the other 2 are. I checked the relay and it clicks and the working bulbs change colors. I pulled out the bad bulb and it says series 60100X. I couldn't find a wiring junction box where this might...

    pentair light flickering

    I have 2x pool and 1x spa lights (led intellilogic). One of the pool lights never syncs and is usually dim for 5-10 minutes before it starts turning on bright. Once its bright, i can sync or change colors and it will start working like the other two. Is there a fix for this?

    Paver Repair Costs?

    I'm in the north Phoenix area, and I have a large patio/pool area with Turkish travertine pavers. It appears the ground wasn't set properly and they are all wobbly and uneven. The grade appears to dump into a puddle in the middle of the patio instead of out to the sides. I've kind of been...

    Craigslist Robot's

    I don't see it talked about much here so I thought I'd ask. Why don't more readers buy their robots on CL? I have an appt today to get a tiger shark plus 2014 model for $350. I figured that was a pretty good deal. I've found a dolphin diagnostic for 500, and a few others for around that...

    Pentair Easytouch with VS configuration

    Does anyone have hints on how to make the pentair automation run a VS pump at different speeds for different times of the day? I'd like to set the pool on like Pool as 1500rpm for 6 hours and then Pool high as 3k rpm for 2 hours. I'm not finding the pentair as easy to manage as the jandy.

    Flow rates and chemicals throughout the day. ...

    One thing that bothers me is how people run their pumps 4 to 8 hours a day and at night only. But I don't follow how chlorine loss during the day could survive without turn over? If you run only at night your water is stagnant all day and wouldn't the top few feet have fc0? And if you run it...
