Here's the remodeled pool and new water feature. I installed the rest of the anchors, but it wasn't enough to keep the cover out of the water.

Got an old LAARS LT400 NG that was replaced with a pool remodel. Everything still works (GV, IGN, control board, heat exchanger, ID fan). Hoping someone can use something before it goes to the landfill.

I have an old Maytronics Dolphin (magenta, yellow, turquoise) that runs great, but the handle broke. The power supply and motor are in great shape if anyone wants it before I send it to the landfill.

hmm...seems that would be aesthetically unpleasant, but I don't see another way. Thanks for the info.

That doesn’t seem like much lift, but I agree the long anchors are best. I only see the 10” and 18” versions. Any experience with a certain brand and length? Thanks for all the great info!

My travertine pavers are 1.375” thick and are not cemented down except for the coping which is cemented to the framing for the vinyl pool. However, the spring straps from my existing Merlin pool cover go way past the coping to the adjacent travertine that is locked in with all the other...

I had an existing Merlin IG pool cover with the Merlin brass anchors mounted in the concrete pool deck which I’ve used for years. Last year I had the concrete pool deck demolished and replaced with travertine that looks great. Since pool season is now over I would like to cover my pool, but the...

Labor Day weekend typically means the end of another pool season. I had a great season this year, but always dread when the cool weather sets in. I have an IG 16’x36’ pool with tall trees all around. Would like to figure out a way to keep the leaves out of the pool. Seems like I could construct...

I do not have anything wireless connected to my Aqualink. The manual you shared seems to be for a Rev O.2 FW. I have Rev MMM FW.

Don’t think skimmer action is such a big deal for screened in pools. I assume you have very little surface debris. My pool is not screened in and the surface flow really helps direct the leaves into the skimmer boxes. Contrary to the post above, I point my returns towards the surface so I get...

Remove the old cap and look at the side. It should have the info you need. Post a pic here if you need further help with identifying the specs. You could also take it to your local pool store.

If you need parts for your Laars, let me know. I have a spare.

Got a free dead Jandy VS Flopro from a frustrated fountain repair guy. Motor seems to spin. Broke apart the controller and it seems to be divided by the RS-485 comm board and the motor vsd board. There are 4 wires between them. Anybody know what signals are on the 4 wires? There are also 4 wires...

Could be water flashing to steam from low water flow.
