    Hayward GVA-24 - how many o-rings inside?

    Can anyone tell me how many o-rings are inside a Hayward GVA-24? I recently had an issue with one of mine and it was replaced by my builder under warranty. However, the first thing they did was send out a tech from the company they outsource most of their warranty work to. The tech took the...

    Replace this actuator, right?

    Forgot to close the loop here. Builder replaced the actuator under warranty with a Jandy actuator and things are working correctly again.

    I've lost my data

    Geez. That was it. Should have tried that before posting. I guess I have a account with my Google login and a normal user/password account. Thanks so much for the quick response.

    I've lost my data

    My subscription expired due to me getting a new credit card and not updating my payment method in the play store. I updated my card and made the subscription payment, but my app has lost all of my data. I've tried to restore subscription, and it recognizes that I have an account, but I do not...

    Polaris 280 tail not sweeping

    Interesting, I just saw that product online yesterday. There's a pro model also for $1 more, but the reviews aren't as good as the "normal" model. Think I may give it a shot since a replacement sweep is almost the same price. Luckily our pool is far enough away from the house that it doesn't...

    Polaris 280 tail not sweeping

    Polaris 280 cleaner, about 2 years old, and the tail doesn't sweep anymore. It just sort of drags behind the cleaner which now gets stuck a lot. The tail is not stiff. Water comes out of the tail but I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. Right now, it's sort of just blasting out all over...

    Replace this actuator, right?

    Just looked up the terms for our build and there is a 3 year warranty on the equipment, so I'm gonna contact the builder to see if he will replace it first. It's barely 2 years old at this point. And, actually it's a Hayward GVA-24 actuator...which I just discovered yesterday. All of my...

    Replace this actuator, right?

    Just to get some confirmation here, this actuator needs to be replaced, right? Just noticed recently that it hasn't been completely shutting the valve it controls as it leaves a little trickle from my spillover when it should be completely off. Took it apart today and noticed water inside, the...

    Leak between valve and actuator

    Was adjusting the cams on my valve and noticed it started leaking when it was turned all the way to the spa return. It stopped if I turned it back from all the way open to the spa. The leak appears to be coming from where the actuator goes into the valve. Is this a common failure point? What...
