Trying to determine if the color discoloration I see is within normal bounds. It's hard to capture in a photograph, but I'm seeing a bunch of areas in the deep end that look dirty or that dirt is embedded in the plaster. It looks darker in person vs the photo. I don't see the "dirty" areas in...

I thought that's how it worked as well, but unfortunately I'm able to manually trigger the heater on the heater panel itself - even though it's setup in "HI-LO-COM" mode for control through Aqualink. If it was in able to be software locked out - that would eliminate the need for a physical...

Brand new SWG that is in the final stages of completion. I've realized the returns are plumbed one side goes to the spa jets, the other side goes to pool returns and one spa makeup return. Using the pool/spa return there is ways a spillover happening. I'm contemplating adding a manual.valve...
