Thanks swamprat69, I think you have it right with your assessment! When I open the panel the wire does move a couple of the wires....I'll try moving some stuff around and see if that helps

When I open up the main panel, and then open the display I notice that the wire that runs from the display to the circuit board seems to move a few of the other wires around. Seems to me like there's a loose connection somewhere in those wires. It runs fine when fully closed as it appears to...

So my Jandy LRZ heater has been acting up for the past few years. Randomly it would fault out and I'd get the "Check IGN Control - Fault" on the display. So I've had a very reputable repair guy attend and he's gone over it in great detail and all parts seem to be in very good working order. I...

This is the pump I'm looking at: Hayward Tristar .5hp https://www.hayward-pool.ca/shop/en/canada/tristar-inphtris--1 HP is .5 SF is 1.98 The pump I'm replacing is a Hayward Superpump 2, 1.5hp https://www.poolsuppliescanada.ca/hayward-1.5-hp-super-pump-inground.html HP is 1.5 SF is 1...

So my pump stopped working and I'm looking at buying a new one. We don't want to spend the big bucks for the super fancy ones at this time. I went into the local pool shop and they are suggesting a .5hp pump. My current pump is 1.5hp and the pool is roughly 20,000 gallons. I'm concerned that...

Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated!

So my pump busted last night and I'm waiting for the pool company to come tomorrow. I'm assuming I'll be down at least a few days. The forecast is hot with tons of rain so I'm worried about the pool going green on me. I've added a bunch of chlorine today and will brush at least once a day. I...

Thanks. I've ordered new bulbs so I'll start by replacing those. If that doesn't work I'll swap out the GFI with a new one and hope that works. Failing that I guess I'm looking at replacing the entire box. Fingers crossed!

I just opened the pool today and noticed that the GFI on my Aqualamp transformer box is yellow and tripped. Yesterday I tried resetting it but it wouldn't stick. Today the reset button makes that click sound but still won't stick. The whole system is about 14 years old. There was a bit of...

Great thanks for the info. Sorry one quick follow up question: how do I know what voltage the pump is running at? The pool was in place before we moved in so I have no clue how what voltage it is running at. Thanks again !

Hi guys sorry if this is a dumb question (I'm a new pool owner and don't know much at all about them)....I have a Hayward 2 Speed Super Pump (1HP) and I'm wondering how I switch speeds, or if it does it on it's own? There are no switches or timers attached to it so I'm assuming it's operating...

Hello this is my first post here (looks like a great site with lots of helpful folks!). I have a Zodiac LM2 and I'm noticing that the Chlorine Output lights seem to go up or down on their own. I will usually set it so 3 green lights are displayed, however I'm noticing that at some point...
