I bought an Anchor Industries 5 Star solid safety cover, and I want to make sure it gets properly maintained before stowing it away in my basement. I don’t see any guidance on that in any articles for Pool School. Anyone have recommendations on a awesome vinyl pool cover cleaner? Should any...

In my Caldera Vanto's spa owners manual it states that in areas were temperatures can go below 10F with higher winds, the jet pump may partially freeze. It suggests installing a insulating kit to prevent this and improve energy efficiency. The manual says to remove this kit when temps reach...

My S300 only moves a little (a few seconds) and then just sits on the bottom. I pulled the impeller housing/cover to see if any debris was stuck in there. It was clear, but the impeller does not turn by hand or when powered. I bought it from Marina Pool Spa and Patio in July 2018. Since I...

Today my new spa gets delivered. I picked up an unused floor model (perfect cosmetically) Caldera for $4700 with steps, cover lift, and spa startup kit. I plan to fill and wire it up today since our temps here in NE Ohio will dip below freezing tonight. I had a licensed electrician run a line...

I bought a used Hayward AquaRite controller and new T-15 SWG cell. I recently added a big Hayward filter and Pentair Superflo VS pump. The previous homeowner had the original single speed pump connected via wall plug and a Christmas lights extension cord. I did the same temporarily until I...

Pool cleaner cleaned half the pool then stopped. I couldn't get it to move more than an inch before it would shut down again. The power supply was good, so I decided to disassemble it. I saw this mess when I opened it up. I blew it out with compressed air and got a new desiccant bag and bench...
