Well you don't see this every day. Yes I know what this is and what caused it. Bad water chemistry. Pay attention to your water chemistry.

Customer called and said they can't get their Sta Rite heater to work. Now they know why. Rodents love these units.

I was called by another homeowner where I had installed a pool heater back in 12/2015. Customer said heater is leaking. Removed the header/manifold and I saw this, see picture. I had already suspected what was going on. Spoke to the homeowner and they said that they had called their home...

We see the above question from time to time. People ask because they have heard that cupro-nickel is tough. When I see this question I usually chime in and say it really isn't worth the money. Just get a regular copper unit and keep you chemicals correct. Cupro-nickel will still fail if the PH...

I had a call from a customer that said his heater wouldn't light. Went out to look at it and well, it was leaking water all over the place. The igniter was shot and rusted really bad. The burners were really bad as well. He said maybe a year ago he had a broken bypass and called a company to...

If have a pool with a heater and you are going to get the pool resurfaced, disconnect the heater and loop the pipes together so all the crud from the process doesn't junk up the heater. After they apply the new surface and then fill the pool, when you are brushing the pool, clean the filter...

About 6 months ago a customer called me about her Hayward FD heater not working. Diagnosed that both the ICM and Display board needed to be replaced. Very common problem. She said she didn't want to pay to replace the boards and would wait. Fast forward to last week and I get a new call that the...

So, you turn the switch to on, it doesn't fire, but when you bypass the safety circuit it fires and stays on until you flip the power switch to off. What happens if you don't jump the safeties but jump out the on/off switch? I would expect the system to continue to fire when all the safeties...

Received a call from a customer that I installed a gas heater for 5 months ago. He said its leaking water. Not good. Went and investigated and sure enough, really bad. I took the unit apart and found the worst chemical damage ever and the unit was only 5 months old. Here are two pictures...

I've been dealing with this pump issue off and on for over a year. Most recently the customer had his pool renovated and the pump/filter was moved maybe 10 feet from it's previous location. Before the equipment was ever moved the owner always had issues priming the pump as well as always had a...

I'm trying to help a neighbor our with replacing their bulb in the pool light. The problem I'm encountering is that the screw unscrews about 3/4 of the way and then it gets stuck and won't turn any more with a screw driver. I am able to screw it back in but I can't get it all the way out...

I have a good friend that just had a new gunite pool installed in Feb of this year. The contractor never really told the owners what to do once the pool was filled with water and they have done their best to keep chems in check but now it appears that they have a major calcium issue. He called...

The unit shows 100% on the display and no error codes unless I need to push a series of buttons to show the codes of which I do not know which buttons. Manual doesn't talk about pushing any buttons to display error codes. The Power On LED is lit but no other lights are on. The pool water has...
