    New Pool Build Suggestions

    Thanks. So basically Pentair is 2+3 warranty. If builder will only use Jandy, what do you think? I used Jandy before.

    New Pool Build Suggestions

    In addition to pricing being all over the place, everyone has a different preference of equipment. So it even harder to really determine pricing. I am trying to determine between Pentair and Jandy. What are the thoughts? I've seen very conflicting things about Heyward.

    New Pool Build Suggestions

    Yes, I have used an integrated spa before. Are you saying they don't get ready as fast because the water from the pool also makes its way into the spa? What other features are not available that you can get in a standalone spa? We we're considering raising the spa 18 inches. Thanks,

    Max-e-therm Fenwall or Control Board

    The tech said the fenwall needs to be because the heater is warming up properly but turns on/off. The ignition and gas are fine according to his diagnostics.

    Starite AFS Replaced and Won’t Ignite

    So to follow up on this there are lights turning on the interior control panel when I turn on the heater. The fenwall does blink 3 times. I have tried shutting the gas on/off and turning off all the breakers for several minutes. Nothing worked. What is the next step? Should I clean the filters?

    Starite AFS Replaced and Won’t Ignite

    Hey, I replaced the AFS module on my starite sr4000 and it still won’t ignite. Starite says the next thing to do would be to replace the controls module. Has anyone replaced both of these items and gotten their heater to ignite? Wondering if I should’ve just replaced the module.
