OK, so yesterday I reached into my filter basket to clean out the leaves and was shocked. When it happened, I thought it was odd, but kept moving. Then I reached in again to clean out my robot and got the same shock. At the point, I knew something was wrong. My first though was light, so I...

Good news, I cleaned out the motor and let it sit in the sun all day and now it works. Does anyone know if I can but a new o ring to seal up the motor? I will probably also look for a rice packet or something on Amazon to pull moisture away. Maybe I'll get another year.

Can you replace just the motor? I assume it's 12v. Maybe I can give it 12v and see if it works?

OK just pulled the motor car apart and found quite a bit of moisture and sand stuff all over from the desi. I think it's too absorb moisture. What should i do? Let it dry out and try it again? Is there any test i can run on it to narrow down the problem? pak.

Hmmm... maybe when I reconnected the wires on the old actuator one of them didn't connect right. I guess that would make it so only one direction worked. I'll check tomorrow.

I have an Omnilogic setup which has been working fine for several years. It is being used to control several GVA-24 valves. Two months ago I had an issue with my pump (not related to the valves) and called a local shop to help me. While he was here, he told me one of my valves wasn't working...

Thanks, I'll go dump a few gallons in. That is what I was thinking. Hoping if I nip it now, we can swim this weekend.

Last weekend I came home from the lake and noticed there was a ton of oak pollen on my pool. My filter was clogged but still running. After spending 2 hours cleaning as much as I could out, I tested and noticed the Chlorine was pretty close to zero. I poured a half gallon of bleach in to get...
