    Intelliflo VSF Pump Lid blowing off once a day

    So.... My Intelliflo VSF is blowing the lid off of the pump, I am almost positive that this is during when the booster pump starts creepy. The combination has been working prior to this with no issues. Any thoughts, the google machine did not provide any insight. .

    Master temp 400 shows Service Light

    Moved from here. So... Having a similar problem. Heater will turn on, 128, r13, then displays correct temperature. Will display service system light then start to heat. Heats for a while then shuts down, service system led lights again, then goes away, and heater starts. Rinse, repeat. Thoughts?

    Dallas area bleach

    Well... The local Costco has stopped carrying the 3 packs of 8.25 and any other bleach for that matter and only carry the Clorox line of pool products... Ughhh. Anyone know anywhere locally that sells the 8.25 in the 3 Pack? Close to Northpark is preferred.:D

    Going on Vacation-Options

    Leaving the heat and heading to the mountains for 11 days. What are the best options minus someone coming over and tending to the pool? The pool seems to be eating chlorine and want to ensure the occasional user will be in a balanced pool.;)

    Just Curious on Chlorine Consumption

    Seems as thought the pool is sucking down about .5-.75 gallons of 8% Chlorox every day... and I am wondering is the normal due to UV? PH does vary between 7.2-8.0 and add Muriatic Acid about twice a week. Thoughts?? FC-4.8 PH 7.6 TA-105 CH-250 CYA-40

    Need to Automate Pump

    It seems as everything I need is controlled via ScreenLogic, minus my spillway it is manual. I am guessing I need to replace the manual one with to one with an actuator and wiring... Is this correct? Image is the current valve. What do I need to order and how hard is it to change out?

    Heating the Spa tonight, love the cold weather and the pump is sort of squeaking, not sure why? Thoughts? Water feature is also not pumping anything out. What is even more odd, is that it seemed to be louder once the heater was turned on

    Brand New Pool- Leaking

    Just started filling pool after an incredibly challenging build because of weather, contractors, God Hating me:D, and the general awesomeness of the experience. After filling started noticed one area near the jets was extremely wet, thought it was just the spraying of the deck and cleaning...
