    MasterTemp 400 has stopped working. any tips?

    Searching around, it seems like the issue could be a lot of different things. I'm hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. The warranty expired, so this will be my first attempt at a repair. Last week, the heater worked fine. Yesterday, it started short cycling. I think it would...

    What is my best option to protect my equipment from the coming weather?

    In Louisiana, we are expecting up to 6 inches of snow and temps as low as 13 degrees within the next 36-48 hours. I have a single pump with a spa and pool. I turned off freeze protect a long time ago b/c I didn't like the valve changing every 5 minutes as I've had issues with that one in the...

    Paramount Ultra UV is leaking - Remove or repair?

    When the pool was installed 3 years ago, the builder talked me into the UV sanitizer. It is now leaking pretty severely from the center line where the light is visible. what to do? How hard is this thing to remove? If I were to fix it, is it something that is easy? I don't think it's worth...

    Any ideas how I can aerate/cool this pool?

    I tried to remove my pool return (eyeball) to build a PVC aerator for it. My eyeball returns don't screw in, and it seems the backside(male) is flared outward. So as I was removing it from the wall, the plaster started to break loose around the pipe. I stopped before I did any more damage and...

    My pool is hotter than the air temp

    My pump runs 23 hours per day. Last night I had my deck jets going all night hoping the aeration would cool the pool. My pool was at 93 degrees at sunset and only dropped to 91 by sunrise. The low air temp was 80 last night / this AM. I’ve been having the deck jets still going all day and the...

    pentair globrite led issue

    I have four Pentair globrite led lights. They are all wired together so I control them as one. Last night I looked outside and one of the lights was blinking like a strobe light. I keep my lights on 'blue' but this one was white and there was also a small bit of red on one side of the light. I...

    What is a good price to buy a Dolphin S200 new in the box from someone else?

    Should I buy this? This isn't from a retailer. It's off craigslist. It was supposedly donated to a benefit and is still new in the box. I wonder if I'm missing something (i.e. warranty issues with Maytronics if I can't show a receipt, etc). I don't really want another maytronics product, but I'm...

    Dead Power source for a Pentair Warrior SE

    Is my only option to replace it with the same exact controller? I just got this thing back from another repair that took over a month. Now I have no power going to it. I'm only seeing options for $300. The best part is I'm leaving town in a few days so I can't wait to see how bad my pool will be...

    Looking for a replacement for my Pentair Warrior SE

    I bought the Warrior SE at the end of 2020. I have shipped it off three times for repairs. In fact, it's been down for over 3 weeks now and I still won't get it back for about another week at best. I believe the warranty is up in a few months so I plan to sell it and buy a replacement b/c my...

    Pentair Warrior SE is tangling and eating my cord.

    I've had this cleaner since November 2020. Until about two months ago, I rarely had any issues with the cord. But now it is tying itself into a knot at least once a week and the cord gets pulled through the front roller pretty often. I can usually pull the cord out and get it...

    Pump keeps starting and stopping.

    As far as know, everything was running fine until I went to clean the pump filter/basket about an hour ago. After cleaning it, I turned the pool back on but the pump displayed an error of ‘Over Voltage’. I did several combinations of flipping the breakers, turning the pool on/off, and hitting...

    What size hose do I need for this Skimmer plate?

    I have a Waterway Renegade skimmer. The part number on my lid says 519-6450 R6. The online search results are white, but mine is gray. Anyway, I bought this skimmer snap in vacuum plate, but it does't have the hose size listed anywhere. My vacuum head can take 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". So I ordered a...

    Suggestions on cleaning the white buildup at my waterline. and what is causing it?

    I've seen this occur in the past, and I've been able to kind of rub it off with my hand. However, I noticed the line Sunday when cleaning the pool and testing the water. Sunday I tried to rub it off with my hand. No luck. Last night I was not able to scrub it off with a brush. After reading...

    Intellicenter preset modes. is this possible?

    Can I add some intellivalves and automate different modes in my pool? Basically, I like to keep my pump running as long as possible. So in pool mode it's normally around 60 GPM so I can have my bubbles on. I only turn on the deck jets when the kids are in the pool. Instead of constantly walking...

    Suggestions for a robotic cleaner to deal with pine needles

    My pool is currently under construction. My pool contractor included a Maytronics Dolphin S200 for $1100 in their bid. I can opt-out if I find a better option so I'm trying to sort through the many options out there. My neighbor has a couple of pine trees about 20'-25' from the pool which I know...

    Will I need a different gas meter? Gas line suggestions?

    I'm in the process of pricing my pool installation. This site has been a great help so far. I'm new to the forum so I apologize if this is in the wrong board. Each pool contractor has made a blanket statement like 'you may need to change your gas meter' and 'the gas line might not work if it...
