I had a similarly aged liner and wondered the same question. My question was answered when I went out one morning and found a giant tear in the liner just above the water line. Liners are expensive...why replace if you don't have to? The exception to that rule is that you have money to burn and...

Are you sure they are mice? I get the occasional mole that wanders into an unfortunately watery grave. Usually it happens when we've had a lot of rain. I think they get flushed out of the ground and stumble into the pool. They could easily be confused for mice. If you are getting moles, I'm not...

Hmmm...I have the same exact thing this year that OP describes. I've tried using a magic eraser to scrub the rust colored marks off, but they seem to be permanent. They only occur near the screws, but the screws themselves do not appear to be rusted. The marks do not appear at every screw. I...

Finally decided to just go wireless and order the wireless connection kit for the ScreenLogic2. I think this will make everyone (ie wife and daughter) happy. I may try to use my old cat5 wire to pull that 4 wire 22 AWG needed for the indoor control panel. Otherwise, I'll just fix the hole in...

Jim, I actually understood that the original indoor controls would have to be replaced. My confusion was regarding how the protocol adapter came into play and how it was connected to the system. I think I got it now though. Maybe? From what I can tell, I can connect the protocol adapter...

Jim, I guess I'm confused! How does the wireless connection kit (p/n 522104) work with a hardwire setup? What was your setup? Did you have the indoor panel (p/n 520549)? I've got the Ethernet already in place as the system I'm replacing had a remote panel installed in the kitchen connected...

Jim, Hope you don't mind if I ask a question before I go ahead and order the ScreenLogic 2. The Amazon reviews complain about the wireless capabilities. One review said they had to put the unit near a window. I have a pretty robust home wireless network, but I was wondering if you've had any...

Happy to report back... Short story - If you are on the fence about purchasing the kit, go for it! The kit arrived Saturday. I prepped by shutting off power to the equipment pad at the main breaker. I was replacing an LX3800 controller board that stopped working well with my remote station...

Thanks, Jim! Based on your advice and the other threads in the forum, I went ahead and ordered the upgrade kit. It arrives Saturday.

The Compool (CP3800) automation for my pool spa combo is getting wonky and I'm wondering if there is a quick fix or is it more economical to just replace. The issue is that I can't trust the compool to run the schedule so I am stuck leaving the system in service mode (operated only at the...

I have a Compool CP3800 system and notice that intermittently the timed program settings will get corrupted. For example, I will wake up in the morning and the spa jets will be on. I'll check the indoor control panel and sure enough, the program has changed itself. Worse yet, the panel will show...

Thanks...that is helpful. Means I probably will have to act soon if I want the liner replaced this year.

Thanks. I can't make it out to the pool store for at least a few days so I went ahead and ordered a do-it-yourself repair kit from Amazon for delivery tomorrow. My main concern is to keep the rip to it's current size so I can make it through the swim season and then replace the liner in the...

10 inches I'd estimate left to right. 6 inches top to bottom. It's not quite ripped to the water line. I'm hoping it doesn't rip more until I can patch. I won't be able to attempt a patch until tomorrow, but nobody will be in the pool until then.

SO...sounds like maybe I should attempt to patch myself and hope for the best? Anybody got a product they'd recommend for patching this type of hole? Is there a difference between patching holes above or below water line? This is a giant hole...a rip really.
