    Is it easy to replace omnilogic screen?

    My Hayward omnilogic system is about 8 years old….the screen is terrible and I just use my phone for everything but wanted to replace the LCD screen. Is it plug and play type connection? Not much info online or videos of the process and was just curious.

    What do you think these marks are? video attached...

    Hi Fellow TFP'ers! I doubt anyone can identify this but I just noticed I have three or four marks like this at the vary bottom of my deep end. I can't scrubbed them out with a brush, but was able to remove most of the mark with a magic erasure sponge thing. Very odd marks, almost looks like a...

    Real fireplace or gas for covered patio? Best heat source

    Hi Folks, I am thinking of add on a covered patio similar to this design but a bit longer, and making the end a solid wall to help with wind/privacy. I love the look for a real wood fireplace but since I am in the frozen tundra of Canada the amount of heat it will produce in the early...

    heater running but water coming out is not warm

    I am hoping to troubleshoot my heater. I noticed that the heater is running and the water coming out is not hot/warm. Usually you'd feel the water would feel warm at the jets but it just feels luke warm. I have the temp set to max and rebooted my omnilogic and the heater. It is a hayward 250...

We back up onto farmland but kiddy corner to our backyard is a house on the crescent next door which has houses around the 200k price point. Not sure the price is relevant but thought I'd share.

    Dirt in pool not getting caught by sand filter. Added D.E.

    Thanks to this wonderful place I am able to do a ton of research before I do anything pool related. I've noticed in the past few weeks I keep getting fine dirt/pollen on the seams on my liner. If I waved my hand near it, it would disappear and go away. I'd vacuum it up (sock on the skimmer) and...

    Making pool lights

    My IG does not have provisions for lights nor is it worth the expense of digging and adding in some lights. I've tried a few different lights and well to be brutally honest...they all sucked. So time to make my own. Was thinking of a couple of Naglene bottles with super bright LED strips and a...

Using a blue 10mm cover and the water temp is 72 and the outside temp is say 80 and sunny. Is it better to take the blanket off to increase the heat transfer to...
