I've had my Polaris cleaner for about 3 years and use it weekly. I always remove the cleaner from the pool and store in an outdoor ventilated bin when not in use. The hose has become very sticky and is starting to leave a chalky residue after it dries. Is this common? Time to replace?

My builder used a sand-based grout along the beam line for the porcelain tiles closest to the pool. Apparently it's supposed to expand and contract better than other options, but it easily wears away after a few months. Is there a better option than this?

My Pentair Intelliflo VS Pump is ~2 years old, but gets very loud during freezing temperatures (see video in link). It seems to go back to normal for 1-2 seconds, then back to loud again. Any idea what is causing this? If it's a pump issue, I'm hopeful Pentair will address it.

I currently have freeze protection enabled on my pool and spa, which rotates every 15 minutes (Pentair system). Is there a way to set the RPMs to a lower rate than the default speed I have for my daily schedule? Do I need to setup a new circuit to do this? Before my main board was replaced...

I have a Polaris TR28P Pressure Cleaner with a Pentair PB4SQ Booster Pump. 1. What speed do you run your booster pump? I currently have it set at 2,400 RPM for my 32k gallon pool. 2. Do you enable the pump during freeze mode (with the cleaner disconnected)? My pump seems to freeze during...

For the first few months it was fine, but lately the tail keeps getting stuck in between the wheels and basically jams the wheels from moving. Anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Thank you!

I have a 44x20 rectangular pool with two skimmers + weir doors and two main drains. Currently the valves are open to all, but I get very little suction to my skimmers. In fact, my circulation isn't great all around since leaves stay stagnant and float right by the skimmers. I have two holes...

I have a Pentair IC-40 Intellichlor SWG in my new pool. My pool builder also installed a Powerclean Tab feeder, but it's set near zero. Before I fired my pool guy (after finding TFP), he was putting in 2-3 chlorine tablets per week with the SWG set at 60%. Do I need to keep feeding tablets...

Hi, we filled our new pool in January and recently notice a big, brown stain near the main drains on our PebbleTec plaster. Despite scrubbing, it won't come off. My pool builder is telling me that I did a too good of a job of scrubbing. There isn't a lot of dirt/construction around us. How...
