Ok - this is encouraging (the replacement part). We live in an area with freezing winters - repair folks said they do not need to lower pool water to replace. I was aware the conduit is expected to be wet… but then I saw in the paperwork both wet and dry installations are possible. Clearly I...

I have attached a photo showing a bubble coming from one of my microbrite lights and an arrow pointing to the approximate location of its origin. (I tried to upload a video showing them streaming, but I had no luck adding a video. ) The light still functions normally. I contacted Pentair to see...

Does anyone have an UltraTemp running without the smart panel? (We thought automation was included with our installation, but that's another story...grrrr.) I would like to know if having the heat pump/chiller set to "on", but flow too low (so heatpump won't kick on), will harm the heat pump OR...

We get very few leaves / bugs, etc in our pool (the glory of an autocover), so I don’t think I’ll ever be needing the mesh ones. I’m just trying to figure out if there are 2 levels of pleated filters for thorough silt pickup.

Thanks - which model do you own?

We just received our Pentair Prowler 920 (aka S200, Active 20) from Marina Pool. We were assured it would come with fine and ultra fine filters. It arrived with a basket that looks like it would only catch leaves, worms, bugs, etc, plus pleated filters to swap out with the standard ones. Are...

Yikes! Thank you for the warning. I don't plan to run the robot with the cover closed - and it won't "live" in the pool. All uses will be on my watch (at least that is the plan)...

I want to know if there are any super geeks out there who have done the work to figure out the best way to efficiently heat up a pool without overspending! Specifically, I would like to hear from those who have electric heat pumps and autocovers. My old findings (from my last pool that only...

Thank you for all the details! This was helpful.

Thank you for the details. We previously owned a home where someone had installed a liner pool and I was sick to death of the waterline "scritches" I felt. This makes waterline scrubbing a top desire of mine - and it seems some models are better than others on this front. I actually don't...

Yikes! Ok - thanks for the input.

Thank you for the quick reply. I see Marina Pool and Spa has been mentioned in other threads. Perhaps I will try them tomorrow.

Hello all- I'm sick to death of researching and want to just make a decision. I want a robot for my new fiberglass pool that has a lot of ledges and steps, but is otherwise rectangular. The robot MUST do wall and waterline duties - steps would be nice, but I can deal without that. Really...
