I came across this video and am going to try replacing the motor bearings if they are jammed.

My cleaner is acting up again and stops after moving about a foot forward. I cleaned up the impeller area and tested but the diverter doesn’t move freely manually when tested like it does at 2:06 in this video https://youtu.be/eTMeGg3eQtQ when everything is turned off. I must be doing something...

Just to give everyone an update. I bought a pair of 50W lamps at a very reasonable price, removed the tubes to clean them and put the new lamps in there. The existing transformer worked and has been working for the past 10 days. It’s keeping the pond water clean. The only issue remaining is...

Thank you. Is this the kit? Amazon.com What do I need to look for in the tubes? They look clear. Regarding the wiring harness; is it replaceable without replacing the transformer?

Thank you. Currently there are no fish in the pond. I am preparing to sell this house and need pond water maintained clear. The filter works. As far as I can tell, the issues I need to address are: Replace the pump seals so it can stay primed. Need to know the part numbers of seal kit to order...

Thank you. based upon your experience, do you think this system can be made to keep the pool water clear? Since the system has not been used for a few years, do I need new filter media with seeded bacteria?

We have a small pond in our backyard with an Aqua Ultraviolet UV sterilizer and Ultima II filter as the only sanitizing and cleaning components. The UV unit was incorrectly installed (upside down) by the installer. The We may be selling the house this year and would like to make the pond...

I understand that SWG raises ph and requires lugging Muriatic Acid jugs. Does this match your experience?

Thank you for your valuable advice. It gives a good set of service parameters to ask. None of them offered to vacuum the pool. Probably they assumed the robotic vacuum would do the job. The robotic vacuum is good at collecting debris on the floor of the pool but is not a replacement for...

I’m getting up there in age and having difficulty brushing my pool. I have a Pentair Warrior SE robotic cleaner but it is not a substitute for manual brushing. I think I need to hire someone to maintain my pool. FYI, our pool is now rarely used. It’s a challenge to find a knowledgeable pool...

Looking for recommendations for buying a good brush for daily/weekly brushing. Thank you.

Microsoft's AI Bot says: "Oversizing the pump can lead to problems. For example, the Pentair Intelliflo 3.0 HP is too powerful for an average-sized residential pool." I guess it is still learning. Do higher HP pumps have a larger wet end design to circulate more water at lower speeds?

Thank you. I ordered this GFCI breaker to replace the double pole breaker currently is use. Which model breaker should I use to replace for the other pumps? I think one of the two 15A breakers on the right provides power to the other pumps through the switches on the left. It seems strange that...
