Oops! Thought I attached this already. I’ve noticed pitting under the white scale and have sent these pics to the light manufacturer. They said they’ll ask their engineers and send me a replacement to test underwater for a bit. This happened within days of installing it. These pics are after me...

I just swapped out my old 120v incandescent white light and enclosure with this LED light at 12v that fits right over the existing niche. But it is forming these white flaky things all over, what the heck is that? I did a different LED light in the attached spa (same water) and it’s doing fine...

Thanks! I read some troubling reviews on StaRite online (Amazon I think). Went to local pool place (not Leslie’s) I trust and they steered me toward the master temp 400 vs the raypak 404btu or the jxi from handy. Great price (tho still expensive!!) and install of just 450, so here we go. Gas...

I’ve done the bucket test a couple of times and there doesn’t seem to be a leak. What other methods do I have to see if these are structural? I’ve had someone come and they just quote replastering everything and say we won’t know if it’s deeper till we drain and start demo on the plaster. A bit...

Hello! Need to replace my Jandy 400k btu heater and looking for recommendations. Pool store recommended the Sta-Rite which is most economical, but is it a dependable and long lasting or should I consider other brands? Not a salt water pool. 25k gallon in ground with jacuzzi.

Also any recommendations on pool contractors and a regular maintenance guy in the San Fernando valley in Los Angeles?

Hello! I’ve got a concrete/plaster pool that was replastered or painted about 10years ago I think. I’ve got two hairline cracks one on side and one along one of the drains at the bottom. Also plaster is mottled in color a bit. I’m asking contractors to come and take a look and wanted some advice...

I have had mine for about 7 years. The floats that regulate chlorinated water feeding into the system wear out and or get clogged with salt and fail, as does the output line when it gets salt clogged in there from the chlorine. If you maintain and clean the floats and the entire container...

Ok, thanks! Yes I did read about that dispute issue so I figured it was complicated to some point. But I’m any event, I’m hearing in your post that re-plastering is the best way to go to renew the pool and get rid of the surface plaster cracks? In terms of resurfacing to have a more algae...

I hope I’m in the right forum for discussing resurfacing my pool. In ground 25k gallon, concrete pool with painted plaster wall (I assume) is starting to show surface cracks. So off I go researching and came across UltraGuard and how it inhibits algae and is better than plaster or paint and more...

Oh yeah, hows that work? Are you diverting the airflow with the valve or something? Or is the valve to blow air out to reduce e pressure on the main air pipe to the jacuzzi?

I have a 1.5 hp air blower for my jacuzzi and wondering how I can make it variable power? Is some kind of dimmer switch instead of the on off power switch an option? I'm pretty sure it's not, but a boy can dream....

I'd be curious to know the setup of the stenner pump and the LQ as a holder. Luckily, hasa has sent me free out float valves for free, and said that they are working on an upgrade redesign for that part. Otherwise the lq has been pretty great for me.
