    Divots on sunshelf when opening pool

    Divots on sunshelf when opening pool

    Hello we pushed back the auto cover for the first time and there were some wet leaves that got in but we noticed these divots in the plaster that were not there when we closed in November. What do you guys think? Can they be filled and with what exact filling?

    Pentair ETI 400 - Ice forming on Condensate float assembly

    Hello! We are newbies. We have our pool closed, but kept the spa open with a pentair eti 400. Ice keeps forming on the condensate float assembly which shuts down the heater.
