My pentair warrior se finally died. 4 years of living in the pool 24/7. ( I had already replaced the servo motor for a few extra months life and this time I just couldn’t bring it back. I did hot wire the drive motor and impeller bypassing the controller board to bridge the gap till my new robot...

No heat from the heater one evening. Got to TFT find this guide to trouble shoot a mastertemp Go through the steps, isolate it down to the ICM. Buy a new one online- 20 minutes to replace - back in business. Must haves- multimeter to double check all the signals, and to make sure you don’t...

Wanted to add one more bit- after installing the new servo- power it up- it will go through its startup sequence and find its zero- the midline- only install the actuator arm then- so that the lines on the arm and motor are aligned ( sorry forgot to take a picture)

4 year old warrior SE. was moving only backwards and forwards- not turning. Looked up on one of the threads- based on their advise listened for 3 different motors on startup- only 2 were working- the actuator was not turning. Opened it up- the servo motor was bound up. Went to the a-z.com big...

We have 4 microbrites (the 1.5" standard wall fitting type)- 3 in the pool - 1 in the hot tub. After 3 years of not much problem- 1 of the lights in the pool gave up- flashing red- from the forums- thats an indication it needs to be replaced. At a replacement cost of $529 -that seems ridiculous-...

source please? H2O +Cl2 <-> HOCl + HCl Chlorine is a gas that will outgas from solution right?

I have a salt water pool. General advice holds- barring splashout, rain water overflowing the pool- there really is no loss of NaCl from the pool and I really shouldn't have to add any NaCl in a steady state situation. - Chlorine evaporates from the pool in sunlight - Chlorine is consumed in...

2nd winter in Houston with pool. This year got a pool cover so that I didn't have to empty the skimmers twice a day. Bought an oversized net and threw it over the pool. Figure I can leave in place for 4-6 weeks, by then the majority of leaf shedding is done here. It has worked great. I had...

Last couple of days Houston has had significant rain. We don’t have an overflow drain. Pool is about a year since we started the build- all I can recall is the PB telling me something about city of Houston code doesn’t allow for overflow drain. Obviously too late to do anything about- 1- is that...

All done. Thanks to all your input. Added the salt last week. Did the plumbing and electrical today. SWG is functional. Installed an pentair IC-40. 4 hours of work. Plumbing took most of the time to get perfect.

Thank you from Houston. Quick question- any lube from a big box store will work?

My new warrior SE robot cleaner is picking up everything- last two weeks this is the second time I found this worm in the basket. Seems to be alive. Can anyone help identify?
