Thanks everyone! I don’t know how I missed the dead actuator at the bottom of the run AND the fact that water was running over the spa spillway when in spa mode. Geez......Love TFP!

Thanks for confirming one of my thoughts, ajw. I thought maybe one of the actuators failed, but they seem to be working ok. Pictures posted, but it’s really hard to tell what’s what. At least I think it looks like a bowl of rigatoni! I really appreciate your response.

The Pentair Mastertemp 400 is firing and stays lighted. However, water to the spa doesn’t seem to be heating. (It may not be heating the pool either, but is more difficult to determine.) Cleaned filters last weekend. Jets are working fine, but incoming water is nearly the same temp as the spa...

Mr. Bill. So named on the second run when I thought he was hung up on the steps, eliciting “Oh no, Mr. Bill!” from me. He did work his way free. But I think you have to be of a certain age to connect with the name.

Re: Walmart "Pool Essentials 10% Chlorinating Liquid" - Anyone else not able to find CP70, thank you! We are in Frisco and our closest Leslie’s never carried it. Have been resorting to grocery store house brand bleach lately. Hit or miss everywhere else. Headed to 121 store now. Love the TFP...

The S300i arrived yesterday and it did its stuff today. I could not believe the amount of fine dirt it picked up. I thought the pool was (relatively)clean, but that Sahara dust we were getting must have done a number on it. The Polaris 280 never picked up anything that fine. Scrubbing is pretty...

Thanks, guys! Good to hear from others in DFW enjoying our August in July. You have put my mind at rest.

Thanks, Geebot. I understood operating temps. Storage was my concern and your experience helped! I ordered the S300i after your reply and chatting with the guy @ Marina Pool. New workhorse will be here Tues. Hoping things cool down a little by then. Water is 92 right now, even with aeration tricks!

I’ve convinced my husband I will be a happier person if we get a robotic pool cleaner. He travels. I brush. And test water. And add bleach. But that’s another story. I’m ready to order an S300i from Marina, before rebates end, but started thinking about this hellacious heat we’ve been having...
