Thank you, I will check those out. Do you know if the 60secs on/off is normal when getting up to temp?

Hello, I have a MasterTemp 400 from 2017. For a while now, I have noticed it is taking a long time to heat up. Yesterday it took 90 minutes to go from 56 to 96. The temp also maxed out at 96 even if I set it to 102. So I obviously need to have it serviced, but are there a few things I could...

At the top - does that simply plug/unplug?

Here is what I have - just trying to determine if I can easily swap only the LCD out, like unplug/plug? Without replacing the entire PCB...

I have an Intellichem that shows Label P/N 521349 Rev B. The LCD has gone bad due to sun exposure. Can I easily replace just the screen, using this? https://www.getpoolparts.com/product/45641/lcd-display-only A new PCB board is $500, so I'm hoping the above is an easy swap? Thanks.

Found the issue - chewed-through low voltage wire was causing the Valve breaker to trip. I patched it together and all is working again. What is the best way to fix this long-term so it's waterproof? It's the low voltage wire with 3 separate wires (red/white/black).

Ok, I might be mistaken. When I check some videos on Youtube they are lit in Red on normal functioning panels.

I guess I need to have it checked out. It's a few years old and hasn't had this issue. The lights on the panel that are usually on when in pool mode ('Pool' and 'Solar') are still on, but they are Red. I think they are usually Green?

Ok the toggles did nothing so I figured it was power of some srt. Ended up being the Valve breaker (low voltage). I only checked the main breakers. Thanks for the help. 3rd toggle (solar) still does nothing...not sure why.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not familair with those but I will go down there and see if I can figure it out.

I have a Pentair intellitouch system. Today, when I turn on the spa overflow waterfall or the spa jets, the pump speeds up but nothing happens at the spa. Same ting with spa jets + heater...heater turns on - nothing at the spa. This is the first time I have experienced this. I don't see any...

Yes, I was completely overthinking this. The pool installer initially set up the waterfall to run any time the filter was on. Having recently moved from the midwest and never before owning a pool, I thought that was the way it had to work. It was like that for 1 year, hence the damage. I...

It stripped the top coat of the concrete away and exposed the aggregate. This is what it did over the course of a year:

Having zero luck finding anyone local that can do this for me. Is there somewhere on this board to get in touch with local experts/contractors?
