HI Jim, Thank you for such a quick response! With regard to the line I'm labeling/calling the 'spa spill over bypass', I'm merely repeating what the guy who installed my new spa heater called it as he explained how to control the amount of spillover I get. There is a manual hand turned valve...

I have an elevated (above pool water level by ~2ft) spillover spa which in pool mode returns extra water to the spa to create the spill over effect. I noticed this week that the water level was dropping significantly overnight... I had the same problem a few years back, and replacing the...

Thanks for the reminder on recording the height of the float before removing the old assembly, I 100% would have forgot that step! With regard to the problem being elsewhere, such as a leak in the pool. I'm fairly confident that is not the case, as under normal operation I can hold the float...

Noticed a hissing sound coming from my autofill today, and sure enough there is a slow leak coming from the top of the fill valve assembly. See attachment. I'm hoping to avoid a $250+ visit from the pool company. In the mean time, I've jammed a stick under the lever to hold the float in the 'up'...

So it's that time again, my old Polaris 380 has once again stopped moving. Opened her up expecting the find the usual snapped drive belt. This year both belts have snapped, and the gears within the 'water drive' enclosure appear loose, several of the 'fins' on the main wheel are cracked/chipped...

Here is a picture to illustrate where the leaking is.

I have a rather old (came with the house 5 years ago) Hayward D.E. ProGrid Filter. It's worked great so far, and I've gotten pretty quick at disassembling and cleaning the thing. Last night I noticed that I have a slow 'drip' leak coming from the top of the filter, in between the top housing and...

@sktn77a - Tiles cracked because I stepped on the edge of some loose flagstone, simple pressure, I heard the crack below my feet. Is there a simple pre-mixed material for the grouting and affixing of the tiles? I saw a few online, hoping the wisdom of the crowd here can point me to the best...

I have an approximately 1ft long crack that stretched across 3 of the tiles (above the waterline) in my pool. I need to search the attic and garage to see if I have any extra matching tiles. What are the best / easiest to use products for either 1 - Filling/patching the crack 2 - Replacing...

WB, Thank you for sharing your experience. My SWG board (in the power center box) is also illuminated green. So I'm assuming that the board itself is not the issue. Anyone else have troubleshooting recommendations? Thanks!

Recently brought my salt up to operating range to get my SWG running for Spring/Summer (I use pucks & liquid in the cooler months). Over the past week I've been getting a variety of errors. By flipping the circuit breaker to my equipment on and off, I can sometimes get the errors to clear and...

THANK YOU!
