    Temperature sensor staying constant at 81

    So I heated my pool on Sat to 86, then turned it off Sat night. Wake up Sun morning to 81. Then started heating on Sun afternoon to 86. Turned it off Sunday night. It has since been constant at 81. I would expect at least a degree here or there. If I start heating the pool, it starts going up...

    Plastic like material from the plaster?

    I noticed a weird spot in my 6 month old pool. It seemed like there was a plastic like material sticking out. Today I went under water to check that spot and I saw that the pebbles are almost non-existant on that spot. It's right below the spa spillover. I will try to take an under water picture...

    Pentair VSP - surging/spiking

    My pool was in pool mode. I suddenly noticed my spillway act the way it does when it is the high speed mode. It did that for a few seconds and went back to it's normal state. Then I noticed this again after about 4 hours or so. This time I was paying more attention so I heard the pump increase...

    Microbrite lights not changing colors

    Pentair Microbrite lights (less than 2 months old) - noticed today that the lights weren't changing colors in any of the Intellibrite modes (usually set to Carriberian or Party mode). I can hear the switches click standing next to the panel when I change the modes through the app. After some...

    Expansion join in decking

    I just noticed this in one of the expansion joints of my pool decking (notice the uneven finish on the right side of the joint) . This is the 2nd time the deck has been poured and painted. I am guessing this isn't how its supposed to be. Not sure if its the concrete guys who messed it up or its...

    Brushing pool for the 1st time

    It's my first time brushing the pool after plaster. Anything I should pay special attention to? For example, I tried a few strokes and was worried the whole time that I might rub the pole against the plaster and damage it. Also, it's pouring out here with temperatures in the 40s making it even...

    Weird things floating on top of spa after 1st fill, seems like plaster. Any ideas?

    Weird things floating on top of spa after 1st fill, seems like plaster. Any ideas? Cannot check properly as it's dark. PB will be coming tomorrow to check. Stepped down in the spa and felt that the floor wasn't smooth, felt like there were some fine particles, almost like salt. Didn't have any...

    This decking drainage isn't acceptable right?

    Pretty self explanatory. First rain since decking was painted yesterday. Noticed these puddles. Have sent a message to the PB and they havebeen pretty nice about solving issues so far, so let's see what they come back with.

    Pentair Lights - Globrite or Microbrite

    PB is going to add 2 Globrite lights in the pool, 1 in the spa. I have had results in globrite vs microbrite. Which one is recommended? And why?

    Pentair Controller

    So my pool contract includes Pentair Easy Touch 4 & 8 Pool & Spa. From what I have understood, this doesn't include wireless control or control using an app on a phone. Can either of these be added later? And if yes, how much would it cost?

    Raised spa overhang

    For those of you with a raised spa, does your spa have a overhang/slip (extending into the spa)? If so, does it not make it uncomfortable while leaning back?

    Aqua Blue or Blue Surf Pebble Sheen?

    I have a 10 by 32 pool under construction. The 10 feet section widens to 13 for a bench (picture attached). The house exterior is dark red/brown bricks. Me and my wife have to pick a color. We initially started with a liking for dark, then switched to lighter, and then finally came back to...
