I have attached a photo showing a bubble coming from one of my microbrite lights and an arrow pointing to the approximate location of its origin. (I tried to upload a video showing them streaming, but I had no luck adding a video. ) The light still functions normally. I contacted Pentair to see...

Does anyone have an UltraTemp running without the smart panel? (We thought automation was included with our installation, but that's another story...grrrr.) I would like to know if having the heat pump/chiller set to "on", but flow too low (so heatpump won't kick on), will harm the heat pump OR...

We just received our Pentair Prowler 920 (aka S200, Active 20) from Marina Pool. We were assured it would come with fine and ultra fine filters. It arrived with a basket that looks like it would only catch leaves, worms, bugs, etc, plus pleated filters to swap out with the standard ones. Are...

I want to know if there are any super geeks out there who have done the work to figure out the best way to efficiently heat up a pool without overspending! Specifically, I would like to hear from those who have electric heat pumps and autocovers. My old findings (from my last pool that only...

Hello all- I'm sick to death of researching and want to just make a decision. I want a robot for my new fiberglass pool that has a lot of ledges and steps, but is otherwise rectangular. The robot MUST do wall and waterline duties - steps would be nice, but I can deal without that. Really...

Hi all- I've seen it said that an autocover needs to be opened on a regular basis (even off-season) to let offgassing escape. Is this really REALLY true? Clearly, it won't be in the best interest (or maybe even possible) to open my new autocover in freezing temps. As long as I'm sure the...

Can anyone tell me how high my winter pool closing chlorine level should be (can be) when using my autocover as the winter cover? The manual says we should keep the level 1-4 during swim season, but we all know winter chemical levels are different. We certainly don't keep the chlorine at the...

Ugh. I've been a hardcore Taylor K-2006 user for years after finding this forum. We sold the home that had a vinyl liner pool and just had a new fiberglass pool installed at our new home. The Latham warranty says we are supposed to get "official" pool store testing weekly and keep in records...

Hi all- We are underway with our new fiberglass pool build and we got to thinking about mosquitoes. Yuck. Since the pool is fiberglass, it's sitting there partially filled, waiting for next steps. Any advice as to how we can control mosquitoes aside from putting dunks in the pool? (Concerned...

We've owned our home with an in-ground vinyl lined pool for 4 years now (installed in 2006). This is a second home, so we frequently leave for a week - 10 days at a time, leaving the pool covered and pump running 24/7. It seems to me that I am having to add more water this year than ever...

Hi all - I was looking for a little confirmation on my process and made the mistake of going to a local pool store. They freaked me out about my high chlorine levels, but I'm sure folks here will help me chill out! We left the pool for a week and apparently didn't leave enough pucks in the...
