    Rainbow 320 Chlorinator stopped working

    Received a call from a client that his Rainbow 320 inline chlorinator wasn’t melting pucks for the last 3-4 weeks. Previously I had replaced a clogged/broken check valve for him that was preventing normal function and all seemed to be working fine until this call. When I arrive I noted...

    Question for any others in the industry. I just completed and install of a heater for a customer and part of the job included significant rework of the plumbing to clean up a whole host of previous repairs.

Actual water temp is 87 as measure by my Extech EC400 which I know is calibrated correctly. I’m reading conflicting information that the temperature is measured as a part of the flow switch...

    Another IPH burned connection issue

    Roughly two years ago I bought a used but in good condition IPH to manage ph with my IC40. Everything worked well until this year when the IC40 started randomly power cycling, running through the startup procedure then shutting off and starting the same loop. In troubleshooting I noted when...

    More time may be the only option?

    Today marks 3 weeks into my SLAM. The issue is the seams of the panels that makeup the pool walls are seemingly holding algae. Scrubbing yields no visible sluff off. The staining has lessened over time with 3 or 4 of the 12 seams clearing up to virtually no staining. I’ve hung socks with 73%...
