Hello Forum, I am trying to locate a spa jet nozzle. See pics. - No part numbers on nozzle - Nozzle is about 4" - Inside diameter is 7/16 inch - Installs with 11/16 socket - Circa 1997 - Installs with 2 lugs- You insert it and rotate 90 degrees ( like an old radiator cap ) Looks a bit...

Hello, If you want to salvage the Polaris, you could try fiberglassing the old cover. I did this with mine about 7 years ago now... The key is that your old blower cover, while cracked, can provide a mold of sorts for the fiberglass. You must make sure that the cover retains its shape while...

Hello Forum, I have a sta-rite pentair heater that I am trying to rat-proof with MK RP-100. The instructions are not quite clear to me and I have made my best guess at how the pieces are installed. I wanted to know if anyone knows where I might find some pictures of a correct installation...

Yes thank you. My heater is in fact on the same 220V circuit as the pump. I guess the best thing would be stick an oscilliscope on it (don't have a spectrum analyzer :) and see what it looks like with the motor running. My pump capacitor is not that old and was within spec in January when I...

Yes thank you for the reply. I understand what you are saying; but my problem is that when the heater is shut down properly, and the pump is turned off and on (cutting and restoring power to the heater) the heater re-lights. I.e, it is not correctly "remembering" the previous state of "heater...

Hello Forum, I have a Pentair Sta-rite Max-e-therm heater that will turn on by itself in the morning when the pool pump comes on. I have seen other threads on similar issues with heaters (around 2016) and from these I can see: - the heater may do this if the the heater is powered down (...

Thank you all for the replies. I have both conditions mentioned above; some small cracking and also a few places where the mortar has washed/worn out requiring a .5" worth of fill.

Hello Forum, I am looking to make some minor repairs to the mortar around my stone coping. Assorted cracks and a place where it has worn off and crumbled away a bit. The coping is a red standstone and the mortar is a tan colour (I think this may be called buff). I have included a pic of...
