    Raypak digital heater problems

    Does it have 3 buttons on the control panel? If so hold all 3 down for about 10 seconds. When "REM" appears release the buttons. According to the manual this should turn your remote back on. This is assuming you have a remote panel (Spa side controller, in house, etc.)

    Starting off right

    Actually one minor correction. The 3 way jandy valve is currently feeding the pipes on the left.

    I'm thinking along the same lines as Texas. Maybe a fountain of some sort?

    New to pools-Planning phase

    And they definitely make those wedding cake steps out of concrete. Agree, skip the rainbow and Polaris. Buy a robotic cleaner online, not from your builder. They aren't giving you much to work with yet. Have you seen a drawing yet?

    Also I don't use the robot every day. I kind of treat it like a hand vac and just use it when needed.

    I'm a freak for details! New Pool Build Help

    Theoretically you shouldn't leave any cleaner in your pool consistently. You will certainly go through your wear parts quicker. Robotic cleaners should be emptied after every cycle for the good of the bags and pumps. They are just like any other tools, the better you care for them the longer...
