    Degreaser at opening ?

    A gentle Magic Eraser might also work. Test it in a spot and check it does not remove any printing from the liner. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Eraser_on_Pools

    In general no. Show us what gunk is on the liner. What specific product did you have in mind?

    Im always so bad at judging the color of the PH test, can anyone help me out?

    Between 7.2 and 7.5. Any pH in the 7's is ok. Don't sweat it.

    Spa Return Not Working in Auto/Pool Mode

    The green actuator is your suction actuator, and the red actuator is your return actuator. Post pictures of both actuators when in POOL mode and SPA mode. Four pictures. The blue actuator is your solar valve. Ignore the yellow doodling. It looks like that pipe is your spa return.

    How do I change/ clean this light?

    You have a Pentair Globrite light in a fiberglass niche. The white plastic ring is the niche, and you should NOT try to remove it. You can remove the light installed in the niche. Review how the light niche and light are installed in the manual...

    How to Setup VSP Schedule IAqualink?

    What was "regular speed"? You do not need the skimmers running the entire day. I run my pool at 1400 RPM 24/7 and my pool cleaner runs with the skimmers at 2400 RPM for 2 hours from 7AM to 9AM. That gets the surface debris into the skimmers for the day and is sufficient. If you wanted you...

    Trust the Taylor test or the IC40 reading?

    The cell should be happy with 2800.

    Trust the Taylor test or the IC40 reading?

    Your IC40 should have the CELL light GREEN and be generating with salt at 2800. Give it more time for the salt to dissolve and circulate in your pool. While Pentair recommends 3600 the cell works fine anywhere from 2800 and up. Lower salt levels are a bit better for the longevity of the...

    How to Setup VSP Schedule IAqualink?

    There is no reason to run your pump that fast. You do not need high pump speed due to pipe length. You are missing your Speed Labels. Read Jandy Aqualink RS - Further Reading and @MSchutzer @PoolGate can help you with your setup.

    Brick coping is flaking off what to do

    Antenna or Com Port?

    Have you connected the antenna and pump individually and seen if one of them works without the other connecting? Did you measure the DC voltage across the two outside pins on the antenna connection?

    Hayward Heater - Gas Valve - Why Do These Fail?

    Need help with spa “wall” repair

    Hydraulic cement. Cracks like that happen due to pressure on the wall. If you do not fix the root cause, the wall will crack again. Depends on how much effort you want to put into doing a lasting fix versus patching it and hoping for the best.

    Automation and SWG

    Start with the end in mind. Decide what your desired end state is, and then buy the equipment that will get you there. The pool equipment manufacturers do not want to give you optionality. They want to keep you in their ecosystem. I like the Pentair ecosystem, Hayward is ok, don't go to Jandy...

    Pump water off inground pool cover

    Welcome to TFP. End of what run? Pressure wash what? The flowers? Why do you think a more powerful pump is needed? Point the pump hose output onto the garden soil. Connect some type of oscillating lawn sprinkler to the pump output and let it spray on your garden.

    Salt cell replacement or maybe new system?

    The cord should be replaced every time a Jandy cell is replaced. An old cord can lead to premature cell failure. Your cell is depleted. Four years in Austin in a 26,000-gallon pool is about what I would expect. Your gas tank is empty, and you need to refill it. SWG technology has not improved...
