Ok so I finally had low overnight temps last night. The freeze protection kicked on last night around 11pm so I gave it a shot and had Homekit set the "turn all my pool stuff off" scene as I watched it in the app. It turned the valves from the pool to the spa and kicked on the heater, so I...

Thanks, will update. Of course, temps didn't get down to freezing protection range last night, so I couldn't test it out. I know I can mess with the temp calibrations, but it's already been out of whack and I've readjusted it a few times lately, so I'd rather just leave it alone. Judging by...

I just went outside and tried: - Shutting off pump - Sending "turn off pool/spa" commands from Homekit And nothing happened. I'm guessing the pump has to be on and in freeze protection mode to reproduce this. So if my pump is on and in freeze protection mode, and Homekit issues "turn off...

Ok, I just read the manual and it states that if freeze protection is on for Pool and Spa circuits, it should alternate between the two every 15 minutes (I'm assuming it will not kick on the heater since the purpose is just to move water) as long as the air temp is 35' or under. The only...

Last week, I walked outside in the morning to empty my Betta basket and noticed that there was steam coming off my spa, and it was somewhat warm to the touch, despite the pool water being in the low 50s F. I thought one of my kids may have used it the prior night or something, but it turns out...

My Scuba Pro has started to not charge unless I plug it in and jiggle the connector a bit. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the waterproof seal on the charge port isn't waterproof at all.

Yeah when I open my charge port, I always have water pouring out lol

When I pull it out of the pool, I let it dry on the pool deck for an hour or two. I have a towel inside my kitchen slider that I put it on and charge it overnight. I'd rather be able to charge it outside, but I don't have any convenient 120s without me lugging it around the side of the house...

I've been in acorn season for 4-5 weeks now and it's done an amazing job at cleaning them up. No issues of getting stuck or anything.

After about a week, I still can’t get wall mode to not skip a 10-12 foot section of my wall and it’s driving me bonkers. It’ll finish the circled section then just scoot over to where it’s shown in the pic. Other than that, it does a really good job of cleaning the floor. I’m in acorn...

I've got a Polaris 280 that still works, but stuff keeps breaking on it regularly and I have to keep replacing parts. The Pentair parts are stupid expensive, so I tend to just buy third party Amazon parts. It's still working and the RPM calibrated and all that, but it's just too chaotic for my...

Not having to net grass clippings out of the pool for 10 mins after mowing makes the Betta worth it by itself.

The contour of the front is either slightly different, or if floats just a touch lower in the water. The front corner of the SE Plus now jams itself into my skimmer and gets stuck. Putting down the front stair feet solves the problem though.

6x HC50s, 300 sqft. Completely unobstructed, second-story south-facing roof. It was a perfect setup.
