EDITS: - This blog post about Simulating "inching" with NodeRed Hi there! I continue to build my pool automation into Home Assistant. I'm currently working on the valve actuators and found this interesting thread about Automating Valves at will...

Wanted to share that my pool cleaner, after merely 3 years, needed new wheel-ball bearings (they were missing balls and were visually weared out), and an overall cleaning. Ended up needing to get into the motor to solve the issue. It seems the main impeller motor had so much ferrite magnet dust...

Hi! There's a "Remote" function on my Circupool RJ-60+ that I'm unable to find any information about, except what the manual says it is: Remote: This LED indicates that the unit is controlled by a remote control system. What system can this be?

Hi there! I'm planning my next step on the equipment pad. I'm seeing that my valves would quite soon have to be replaced. Got a pretty-old / rusty / weak one that, when cutting it out, will leave me with the pipe to be re-plumbed right at ground-level. Is there any experience / insights on...

Hi there, I'm in the market for a SWG (yea, tired of the bleach gallons) and shopping around found this comment in the Amazon page for the IC40. Was wondering what you guys think about these cost-calculations.

Hi Guys! So decided to empty the pool following the advice of a pooler (pool guy) so that they could fix an issue with the lights and realized I probably didn't need to (curse you aqua-scum). Anyway, the issue is that I've found the pool has stains all around and I think this pool (I'm the...

Someone knows how to do this (the perimeter lights):

Hi guys, My pump really needs change. It's a 2HP 220v. Was thinking about buying a simple one first (under $400) in order to quickly fix the issue now but then im also thinking about the Variable Speed ones. Which one would you recommend? Any recommendation about one that can be bought in...

Hi all, I've got this old pool (prb 1985) and not sure if it's got a separate dedicated suction port to connect my Baracuda G3. Thought you might know of mysterious ways in which I can know for sure whether the pool got one or not. Main issue is that when the Baracuda is connected -I connect...
