Hey all, My zodiac controller is giving me a 'fault unknown' error. The controller will be 4yrs old this May. It was working off and on last week, now it just throws this code and pump won't come on. The manual doesn't address this code. I cut power off for a few hours to reset the controller...

I have had this unit for 3yrs and the other day went to clean the pool, plugged in the controller, lights come on for a split second and go off. I have tried different outlets and no luck. Looked inside the controller and its spotless. Kinda lame only 3yrs of non-abusive use and it's already...

I have a 1.5hp pump for my bubblers and waterfall. Will I shorten the life of my pump if I choke it out by closing the valves going to the features? Love my bubblers and waterfall.... but sometimes it's so loud in the pool I have to really crank up my music to hear. I like the water movement...

I noticed "shaved ice" in the pool last weekend. It's worse this weekend. Pool is clean and clear. But with goggles on, I see shaved ice floating all around. I listened to a podcast while driving and it sounds tied to the SWCG. If I let it dry, it just crumbles up into powder. FC 5.5 TA 80 PH...

Who here is fighting bees getting in/around your tub? It happens every spring. Wife went out today and got medieval with some peppermint oil. TBD If this happens to you, what's your tactic? It's got a brand new lid, but they can find the smallest crack. I have bees in the water and swarming...

What is the correct hookup for my SWG? It can wire up 120 or 240. Here is my Jandy 2.7 I saw another thread from2017 on here and thought I knew how to do it. The I come home and realize my motor was a little more detailed.

Just ordered my heat pump last week. Been racking my brain on which route to plumb it across the equp pad. Was sitting on the patio today and it dawned on me. If I cut out the puck feeder and add a SWG, I can route the pipes a different way and it'll look nice and neat. So, I came in and sale...

So... we been rocking a countertop ice maker for the past year and a half. We have put it through the ringer. We wanna upgrade to a maker that puts out more volume. Something that will keep up enough to handle not too much stress throughout the week but, can fill a pelican cooler a couple times...

PB came yesterday to start up the pool. I've been itching to jump into testing. I was at work and the wife recorded the process with her phone. Before he left he dumped 1/2-3/4 bag of alkalinity increase. I thought... hmmm wonder why. I broke out the TF-100 and tested. PH 8.2 TA 140 Why would...

So we had a oops. PB used wrong fitting for our pin light. It's a 1.5" return fitting that terminates down to 1". Our Pentair micro is a 1.5" all the way The one thing we really wanted got botched. First world problems.... but nonetheless. We told them we're ok with a credit and a cap. Been...

So, I've realized my trunks are really out dated. They are all the ones I've had since my 20's Lol. They are the long board shorts style. I'm sick of them. Looking for some really quality shorts that I can swim in and do weekend chores with. Looking for some shorts with pockets, fast drying...

I got above hot tub out of commission. Got the dreaded FL1 code. Did everything possible to fix. Decided maybe it was the circulation pump. It's pretty corroded. I noticed this fitting leaking and when I went to check it... it just broke off. I have no idea what it's called or where to look for...

OK, so we have everything narrowed down on the pool build. Got our upgrades decided on and size all established. Last piece of the puzzle is heat. Our pool is going to be 18x29 free form 14,715gals, 436 surface area. I think the key part is where we area located. We live in West Texas. Close to...

Got an email yesterday from the bank about getting ready to close on the loan. I called my PB and he said they are booked till March 2021. Sigh. They have a good reputation around the area, so I don't mind waiting on them. Besides, it'll give us more time to save money for upgrades. We are...

Been a member for about 3yrs. We put the pool on hold till now. Been out in this desert heat since 2011, I told the wife last night "I cant do these summers without water anymore." Our nearest lake is a cluster on the weekends. I'm not gonna sit at a boat ramp for 1hr waiting to launch...

The wife and I are getting the little things ironed out before pulling the trigger with our PB. I really like the look of the fish and rays mosaics with a shadow.... really makes it come to life. I need a little insight for those who went this route. Do the kids really enjoy swimming with the...

Just joined up. The wife and I are on track to getting a pool built this fall. Been looking and reading a lot! I think we just about have it narrowed down. Just wanted to say thanks for all the info I've read being an outsider. I still have a lot of questions, hoping y'all be able to point me in...
