Can anyone tell me how many o-rings are inside a Hayward GVA-24? I recently had an issue with one of mine and it was replaced by my builder under warranty. However, the first thing they did was send out a tech from the company they outsource most of their warranty work to. The tech took the...

My subscription expired due to me getting a new credit card and not updating my payment method in the play store. I updated my card and made the subscription payment, but my app has lost all of my data. I've tried to restore subscription, and it recognizes that I have an account, but I do not...

Polaris 280 cleaner, about 2 years old, and the tail doesn't sweep anymore. It just sort of drags behind the cleaner which now gets stuck a lot. The tail is not stiff. Water comes out of the tail but I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. Right now, it's sort of just blasting out all over...

Just to get some confirmation here, this actuator needs to be replaced, right? Just noticed recently that it hasn't been completely shutting the valve it controls as it leaves a little trickle from my spillover when it should be completely off. Took it apart today and noticed water inside, the...

Was adjusting the cams on my valve and noticed it started leaking when it was turned all the way to the spa return. It stopped if I turned it back from all the way open to the spa. The leak appears to be coming from where the actuator goes into the valve. Is this a common failure point? What...

So we've officially gotten to the point where it's to cold to swim anymore. This will be our second winter with the pool as it was finished right before winter last year. I didn't know what I was doing last year so I just left it how the builder set it up. Now that I have a little more...

Added way more MA than I thought I should and finally got my PH to come down. For the calcium buildup that's there, will it go away on its own as long as I keep my PH down or do I need to continue working on it with a brush and a MA solution? Most of it is located above the waterline.

Looks like there is some grout missing between two of the tiles on my pool. Build is less than 1 year old, so not sure if this fell off or they missed it. Can I fix this myself? If so, is it just like grouting a tile floor? Does it need to be dry to setup?

Pool finished in December 2022. Builder told me to clean the filters when the pressure got to 30 PSI or at 6 months. Pressure never gets above 10 so I opened things up for the first cleaning today. It was absolutely disgusting. I probably spent over an hour spraying the cartridges with a...

FC was usually running around 3-3.5 while I was trying to dial in my CYA and pH. I think I finally got my pH and CYA where I need them, but now my FC is up. Test 2 days ago - CYA at 80, pH at 8.2, and FC at 5.5 Test today - CYA at 80, pH at 7.8 and FC at 7 Still trying to get a handle on how...

My pool has 1 return "outlet" for the cleaner, 2 bubblers, and 4 normal return "outlets." Lately, I've noticed tiny air bubbles coming out of one of the normal returns. It's only one of them. Does that indicate a possible crack somewhere in that return line plumbing? Unfortunately I'm not...

I've just changed my plumbing over to use the spillover mode on my Jandy iAqualink system for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. Would it be beneficial to run in spa mode for 20 minutes or so before switching to spillover mode? I'm thinking it would help filter anything...

So my builder ran a water line off of our main after the water meter and before it goes into the house. The line has two ball valves on it, one right after it comes off the main and the other right before it goes into the pool plumbing that goes into the filter. I want to hook this to my...

First water test on new pool. Pebble was put in on 10/26 and the builder has maintained it so far. Temps here are 60's during the day and anywhere from 50 to 30's at night. Did my first water test today and am not really sure what I'm looking at. We plan on keeping it open during the winter...

We're having our pool built now and have been given several options for automatic cleaners. I've done some reading about the cleaners. I'm sure there are differing opinions but I generally see the robotic cleaners recommended over the cleaners that require a separate booster pump. Our build...
