    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD Will Not Fire Up

    Thank you for responding! The gas valve has not moved. Blower does not turn on. 5 button key pad. Upon startup, all the lights turn on. Pool On lights up, no numbers in display.

    Pentair Mastertemp 400HD Will Not Fire Up

    Good evening! My heater was working fine for the last 24 hrs or so. I worked on the Multiport valve (replaced spider gasket, o-ring, o-rings and washers) and turned pool back on. Water is flowing correctly (no issues with MPV repairs) and heater fired back up for a few moments and then shut...

    Cracked PVC on Pool Cleaner Connection in Return Line

    Update: Found a 2" inside coupler that slipped inside the T (which still had a portion of the original 90) and finished the job with a new 90 married with a 2" x 3/4 reducer. Works like a champ!

    Cracked PVC on Pool Cleaner Connection in Return Line

    Update: the 90 was a slip (not threaded) so I ended up cutting the 90 away from the T. Now I am looking for something that will slip inside and 90 to a 1.5" female thread.

    Cracked PVC on Pool Cleaner Connection in Return Line

    A fitting in the return line cracked and needs to be replaced (see pictures). I was replacing the booster pump hoses and I guess I ate too many Wheaties this morning. The 'T' with "Cleaner" on it is ok - the '90' below it with the arrow pointing to the right is cracked on the back side. Is...

    Any reviews yet on the new Polaris Quattro?

    Now that you're 5+ months in, how's it going? Is the Quattro keeping the pool clean? Are you leaving it in the pool 24/7? etc. I need to drop ~$200 for repairs (tires, wheels, bag, complete wall fitting and anything else that pops up) on my 5 year old Pentair Letro Legend II and am debating...

    Chemical Free Alternative? Is it to Good to be True?

    Water in the pool is fine - just seeing if there is an even easier way to keep it that way. Hence, "too good to be true" referred to the possibility of an easier and less expensive method than TFP.

    Chemical Free Alternative? Is it to Good to be True?

    In searching for an under-counter water filter for our kitchen sink, I came across a product for a pool that sounds too good to be true. I know, I know, it probably is however....... it's worth at least asking. Has anybody used this product before? The Pool CuZn & Spa CuZn – CuZn Water...

    Refinish Warranties - gunite pools

    Our PB used Modern Method Gunite in Houston. We had no problem with them on a recent warranty claim (some of the Pebble Tech Pebble Sheen was wearing to the gunite).

    Pump, Pipe and Drain Covers Question

    Yes, there are 8 Twirly Bird jets in my spa. Yes, both pumps are T'd (actually I think they are Y'd) underground. Yes, there are 2 suction ports in the spa for both pumps and they are not split as there is a single 3" return line that Y's (or T's) underground just before the equipment pad...

    What Size DE filter should I get?

    I have a 23k gallon pool and the Pentair Quad DE 100. Love it!

    Pump, Pipe and Drain Covers Question

    The spa booster pump bit the dust (flooded and submerged by Harvey). Given that I want more water to hit the jets in my spa to make the jets more forceful, I want to upgrade from the existing IntelliFlo VS pump to (160 GPM)the IntelliFloXF VSF pump (225 GPM). My fallback is to simply replace...

    Dirt Stained Pool

    Any thoughts on loading up a pool with MA to clean bad dirt stains off the bottom of a Pebble Tech Pebble Sheen pool? Our pool flooded (Harvey) several months ago and the pool was cleaned (dirt and fish removed) and the chemistry was addressed. There are several large dirt stains around the...

    Stained PebbleTech and Possible Copper

    I took the water sample to local pool store (Leslie's) to get water tested. I would have done it myself but I lost my TFT test kit when my house flooded (Hurricane Harvey) and have yet to replace it. Although we've been more focused on rebuilding our house, I'm about to get busy on the pool...

    EasyTouch 8 Controls Everything Except VS Pump

    Tried disconnecting the comm cable. Upon reconnecting it the display did show "Display Not Active" but that went away and returned to previous state of "No Comm" (the display did not show No Comm, I see that when I check the Status in Settings).

    EasyTouch 8 Controls Everything Except VS Pump

    Thanks for you help thus far. I've tried address 1 and 2 for the VS with no luck. Think I'll give Pentair a call to see if they can troubleshoot with me over the phone or send somebody out.

    EasyTouch 8 Controls Everything Except VS Pump

    I checked at the pumps. VF Pump says "Display Not Active" so I assume it is communicating with the ET. VS Pump does NOT say "Display Not Active" so I assume it is not communicating with ET. The VF pump is address 1. The VS pump is address 2. I checked both at each pump. Regarding the data...

    EasyTouch 8 Controls Everything Except VS Pump

    Thank you, Jim. I checked the wireless address for both pumps and they are different (VF is the main pool/spa pump and it is wireless address 1; VS is spa booster pump only and it is wireless address 2). Should they both be 1?

    EasyTouch 8 Controls Everything Except VS Pump

    I recently had a warranty claim where the service guy came out and replaced the LCD screen on my VS pump, which is a spa booster pump in my setup (the main pump is the VF pump). Prior to that, if I pushed Spa on the EasyTouch panel or remote the VS pump would turn on. Ever since the service guy...

    Legend pentair cleaner

    Not sure what you've tried thus far but there might be some helpful info in the owner manual. Here's what it said about mine (you may want to hunt down the manual for yours): If the Kreepy Krauly® Platinum™ does not travel to all areas of the pool, turn off the booster pump and pool fi...

    Hose Broken on Pentair Pool Cleaner Letro Legend

    The repair was easier than I thought. All I did was slice off (carefully to keep it straight) about 1/4" of the hose and put it back on the wall fitting. I then rethreaded the mender nut back on the hose and it's good as new. Very easy!

    Hose Broken on Pentair Pool Cleaner Letro Legend

    New Picture. Question: can I slice off the end of the hose (maybe a 1/2" or so) and slide it back on the wall fitting and then does the screw just thread back on the hose"

    Hose Broken on Pentair Pool Cleaner Letro Legend

    The hose on my cleaner (Pentair Letro Legend Platinum) has split away about 40% from the wall mount. Maybe it's just been pulled out a bit and can be put back in or it may be broken (see pics). I looked on PoolSupplyWorld and all I saw was an entire hose replacement kit $164.99. Are specific...
