Thank you. That's what I've started to do but I was hoping someone knew a good pool equipment technician in the area.

Hello, I have accumulated multiple pool equipment issues that need diagnosis and repair. My Pentair salt chlorine generator and Jandy floor valve motor both do not work; I suspect the Pentair automation panel/power supply is not delivering power to both of these items. My Pentair heater itself...

Jimrahbe- thank you. Do you mean when the SWG cell is powered up the green LED lights up or just when the control panel is powered? I checked voltage at the plug at the bottom of the panel box for the Intellichlor unit. Reads 2.4 V which is well below the 22-39 DC V I should be getting so...

Ran across this thread looking for help with my dead IC60. I had exactly the same problem with my intellichlor which initially was an IC40. My pool installer, who I realize now really didn't know what he was doing and just wanted to move on to the next job, insisted, despite my research...

A few days ago I noticed my four year old Intellichlor IC60 was not working- no lights, nothing. Checked plug connection to the Intellitouch i9+3S panel and it was ok. Flipped the circuit breakers- no change. Searched online and found that the Pentair Power Center fuse may blow and replacing...

Hello, I'm trying to purchase a new cover for my 2007 Sundance Cameo with pop-up speakers. I have looked at a few online sites and even called local Sunstar dealers, but they don't know anything about pop-up speaker pockets. Most online sites don't list any option for pop-up speaker pockets...

I did what I initially thought I would do. I had them embed two 6 inch x 1.90 inch dia. SR Smith bronze anchors (AS-100d) in concrete 17.5 inches apart for the the two-pole salt friendly basketball hoop. The anchors are embedded about 3 and 5/8 inch in a poured concrete pad (which is about 3...

I have received a few quotes for landscape lighting around a new pool/patio. Two contractors priced out Alliance Lighting fixtures with transformers (less $$) and one chose Unique Lighting Systems (more $$). I have found a lot on the web about Unique and they seem to be well respected...

Please Help. My pool remains a transparent green since I shocked it after doing the AA treatment (per TFP site protocol) 2 weeks ago with 5 lbs of AA. Iron stains disappeared but water immediately became cloudy ( I did add plenty of sequestrant- Natural Chemistry's Metal Free). I shocked the...

Re: Persistent cloudy water after ascorbic acid treatment fo duraleigh, Tested yesterday, FC was 0.5 or less (ie, one drop of reagent causes color change back to clear), CC was 0.5 or less. CYA yesterday was up to 25 (from zero). I have since added 5 lbs more CYA and will retest again later...

Hello, I am stumped. I opened my pool for the first time about four weeks ago (it was built last summer). Shocked it, cleared up the water-crystal clear. However, I had iron staining at the winter water line along the side of the pool, confirmed with ascorbic acid test. I have a 37,000 gal...

Hello, My pool was finished last July and the paver patio will be finished any day now. Before patio construction began my hardscape contractor pointed out that the pool coping, installed by my pool builder last summer, had cracks in a few mortar joints. These are essentially hairline cracks...

Hello, I am going to have a wood-burning fire pit when they install my paver patio next month. I thought I would like to have a log lighter, which I could fuel with liquid propane that I already have on site. However, after researching it, it seems that log lighters are/may be illegal here in...

Thank you for the replies. Does anyone have another opinion one way or the other? Is there another product that I can use? Does anyone know of a bronze anchor that is longer than 6 inches that accepts a 1.90" diameter pole? If not, I might have to give it a try with the 6 inch bronze anchors...

Hello, I am having a paver patio set around my inground pool next month. I would like to install the SR Smith Salt Friendly Basketball Hoop which uses anchors that accomodate the 1.90" outer diameter dual poles. I plan to use the 6 inch deep bronze anchors (model AS-100D) distributed by SR...
