I’m having issues with my mastertemp 400 control board. When I turn the heater on, from the app, the control board attempts to turn on, but then errors out and the display turns off. I can then manually turn on the heater from the control board interface, but it does not turn back on once the...

So I'd like to replace a Pentair valve with a Pentair actuator, but I want to make sure it's as straight forward as I think it should be. Right now, I have a spa that spills over into the pool whenever the pool is filtering. I would like to replace a valve with an actuator so I can filter and...

Would someone be able to help determine what type of scaling this is and how to keep it at bay? This is a new install that was finished the middle of December and is only happening on the spillover. The way the pool is plumbed, it is always spilling over when the pump is in pool mode. Pool...

I've started a couple of other posts in the past 2 years, but we have finally signed a contract with a pool builder after speaking with 9 different pool builders. What a process! It took a year and a half to get over the sticker shock. I seriously considered a DIY pool build, but my Wife...

Anyone have thoughts about starting an owner/build? Over a year ago, we signed a contract with a pool builder but we backed out after he kept wanting us to add items we didn't want. After getting several quotes and knowing what prices were 7 years ago, I am contemplating an owner build. I've...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I was looking for advice/input while I'm in the planning stages. After interviewing several pool builders we signed a pool agreement this last weekend. I would welcome any advice on changes you would recommend. We have our design consultation next week, where I'm...
