    Intellicenter I5p w/SCG, blank screen

    I have an intellicenter I5p single body w/SCG. It was installed in 2020 and has worked well the past 3 years, but after trying to start the pool up after the winter, the display is blank with no signs of life. My current level of diagnosis was to confirm I’m getting power to the board. I...

    Leak at skimmer gasket

    Sta-rite gas heater start up

    I have a 400k sta-rite heater and have it hooked to an intellicenter. I hired an electrician to do the wiring, but when I try to turn the breaker on, I don't have any power on the heater control panel. Am I missing something very simple as to why I can't get the heater to power up, or does...

    From brown to 😍😍. Thank you polyfil!

    We filled our pool from our well. We knew the risks and knew we would have a battle when the water was 12" deep as it looked green from the metals. Our fears were confirmed when we added chlorine and the water turned brown almost immediately. Enter 5 gallon polyfil filter. It worked...

    I knew I had iron...but copper too??

    I took a sample of our well water in for analysis as it is what we are using to fill the pool. Of course I only took it there for the metals, everything else I disregarded.? Turns out I have both iron (.3) AND copper (also .3). Is this crazy high for either/both? We are using well water...

    Help! Fighting the rains while filling new build!

    A little background-diy building our 20x40 sport pool. Smooth sailing through everything. Laid vermiculite this week. Got 2 inches of rain a few days later prior to dropping the liner. Pumped the water out. Got another inch of rain after that. Mind you, the hole without this amount of...

    Another main drain question

    It's been debated already, but based on our 20x40 sport depth (3.5, 6, 4) pool that will be cleaned by a robot...we are leaning on not putting our main drain in. We will have 2 skimmers. I don't think the extra 2 holes in the liner is worth the minimal payoff. Any compelling arguments the...

    Drive stakes...what am I missing??

    Put up some walls today and everything was going well UNTIL we started to bring out our drive stakes. Aren't the bolt holes in the stake supposed to be on the other side?? What am I missing?? Help!

    Need opinions of pool plans...possible OB
