    Pentair Intellibrite LED Pool Lights

    Previously my pool had 2 Pentair 250w Aqualights which had seen better days so I replaced them with the LED Intellibrite lights (100w equivalent).

    Wrinkles in liner

    I have a half dozen or so decent sized wrinkles on the floor in the shallow end of my pool. A local pool install company with a stellar rep will come out at the beginning of June and a diver will try to work them out at $150 per hour. I don't have a problem paying the money but have some...

    It's a new year and I have the same problems. Please help.

    I would raise the PH only to around 7.2......it will go up a bit during the SLAM anyway so start the SLAM with it on the low side.

    When to open an inground pool in Ohio?

    I'm in Grafton, Ohio and opened mine April 14th. Water is still 58 degrees. I bought the house last fall and this is my first year with a pool so I wanted to get a jump on things. Thanks to this site it opened in great shape and except for the temperature is now ready to go.

    Left the backwash valve on a few seconds too long pump won't start.

    The breaker you said you think is for the pool doessn't look tripped? Touch it with your finger and see if it springs towards off. Even if not just switch it off then back on manually.

    Just checking in to say "hello". I have been feverishly reading this forum since putting an offer on a house with a pool a few weeks ago which was accepted and we are in a flurry getting our ducks in a row towards a quick closing/move. This place is a wealth of knowledge and I am impressed with...

    Howdy y'all, So we are in the midst of purchasing a home that has a fantastic inground pool. It is "L" shaped and about 30k gallons.
