Ok. Unless you have some quick instructions, I’ll google how to remove thermal regular and bypass valve. I’m usually pretty handy but never touched a pool heater before. Edit: I replied from my phone initially and didn't see your link. I'll try that. Thanks.

Searching around, it seems like the issue could be a lot of different things. I'm hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. The warranty expired, so this will be my first attempt at a repair. Last week, the heater worked fine. Yesterday, it started short cycling. I think it would...

I don’t use that auto chlorinator or whatever it’s called. The only time I use it is once or twice a year when we go on vacation, I will put tablets in there to deliver chlorine to the pool slowly while I’m out of town. Other than that, I am a liquid chlorine guy thanks to this board.

Thanks for the replies. I lost power in the last freeze. But it was early on in the freeze so I was able to come here and get advice to drain my pump. The only thing I lost in was my RPZ valve.

In Louisiana, we are expecting up to 6 inches of snow and temps as low as 13 degrees within the next 36-48 hours. I have a single pump with a spa and pool. I turned off freeze protect a long time ago b/c I didn't like the valve changing every 5 minutes as I've had issues with that one in the...

I also have a ClearO3 (Ozone system from Paramount). I believe it is independent of the Ultra UV. Can I remove the Ultra UV and leave the ClearO3? I believe the ClearO3 system connects to the pump and I don't have a plug to fill that hole (yet). While I'm familiar with cutting and gluing the...

When the pool was installed 3 years ago, the builder talked me into the UV sanitizer. It is now leaking pretty severely from the center line where the light is visible. what to do? How hard is this thing to remove? If I were to fix it, is it something that is easy? I don't think it's worth...

how much success do you have with this design to cool your pool? I've seen other posts where the suggestion was to have the water shooting as high as possible.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid to hear. I will try to find the deck jet cover online and save a few bucks. I was hoping that there was another solution that I was missing.

I tried to remove my pool return (eyeball) to build a PVC aerator for it. My eyeball returns don't screw in, and it seems the backside(male) is flared outward. So as I was removing it from the wall, the plaster started to break loose around the pipe. I stopped before I did any more damage and...

Slippery refers less to my lack of friction and more to a Seinfeld character. Lol

Thanks. The pic of the aerator isn’t loading for me. Maybe I can find a similar one to copy

My pump runs 23 hours per day. Last night I had my deck jets going all night hoping the aeration would cool the pool. My pool was at 93 degrees at sunset and only dropped to 91 by sunrise. The low air temp was 80 last night / this AM. I’ve been having the deck jets still going all day and the...

I called my pool builder and they said I fall under the 3-year warranty and should be good to go until November. They are coming out soon to replace. Thank you! I really thought the warranty was 1 year for some reason.

It was installed with the construction of the pool which would have been November 2020.

I have four Pentair globrite led lights. They are all wired together so I control them as one. Last night I looked outside and one of the lights was blinking like a strobe light. I keep my lights on 'blue' but this one was white and there was also a small bit of red on one side of the light. I...

My Pentair Warrior SE has not even hit the two-year mark and I've had that same motor go out twice. I'm selling this thing before the warranty goes out b/c I refuse to put a penny into it. A search of Warrior SE on this board will convince you that this model has some serious issues. I've been...

I don't know all of the comparable models, but yes Maytronics makes a ton of robots that are all basically different names on a handful of models with different colors. It's hard to navigate it all. It would be nice if there were some matrix or list that showed them. For example, I think the...

lol. I did my google OPSEC. He seems legit. However, I'm passing on it b/c I verified that Maytronics will not warranty it. I've had too much trouble with my current one to not have a warranty. I bought my current one from them. However, they have become too hard to contact. Nice people, but my...

It was sitting in the same location it has sat for 20+ months which is on the countertop under my porch. It does sit near the edge, but it's at least 2' from the roof edge. It's possible it got a little wet with the rain yesterday, but nothing that it hasn't been exposed to since I bought it.

I don't know the manufacturer date on this unit. I have seen pictures of the box and it is never been opened. The days of getting this model for $700 from a dealer are long gone. I think Marina now sells them for $950 if they could get them in stock. The warranty is definitely important...

Should I buy this? This isn't from a retailer. It's off craigslist. It was supposedly donated to a benefit and is still new in the box. I wonder if I'm missing something (i.e. warranty issues with Maytronics if I can't show a receipt, etc). I don't really want another maytronics product, but I'm...

Is my only option to replace it with the same exact controller? I just got this thing back from another repair that took over a month. Now I have no power going to it. I'm only seeing options for $300. The best part is I'm leaving town in a few days so I can't wait to see how bad my pool will be...
