    MasterTemp AFS Error

    Howdy, I turned on the heater this weekend, and everything seemed to work fine for about 5 minutes.

    Plumbing Question

    Hello, I'm trying to understand how my pool return plumbing works. In pool mode, water flows through pipes 1 & 2. This causes water to run through both the pool and spa jets. If I turn up the rpms, water will exit the spa water feature as well. In spa mode, water flows through pipes 3 & 4. 3...

    Pump making loud noise

    My pump has been making a fairly loud noise since I moved into my house about a year ago. I thought the sound was normal until a friend said "that isn't normal, you should barely hear a Whisperflo", which makes a lot of sense based on the name. Is anyone able to diagnose what's wrong, and is it...
