    SIAP - Polaris sport p/s cleaner wheels will stop spinning if hit walls.

    I have an issue I haven't found a good debug path for. Polaris wheel revolution speed is good, screen is clear and backup is working. I see it get stuck on walls it would normally climb. When I pull it out of the pool (running) and apply a small amount of resistance to any wheel it has no...

    Help! My de push pull valve opened itself?!?!

    I wonder if its the freeze? I have a freeze guard and it is functioning. I heard water rushing tonight all of a sudden and went out and my push pull valve was up and my pool was back washing itself! How does this happen? It's back in place now but I worry I'll lose a ton of water if it...

    Adding IAqualink system, but unsure what f/w rev I have.

    I have a AqualinkRS that was installed by prior owner. The handheld system has given out and since they are 250-300 to replace it's probably worth converting to the wifi system. They list two variants that depend on the firmware version to purchase the correct one. All I have are photos of it...

    Ugh, screwed up. So dumb. Used wrong liquid bleach

    Stupid me I picked up 6 bottles of Home Depot's X brand bleach. Or I thought I did. Turns out one of them was the "bleach cleaner" and the bottles were so similar I didn't notice it when I bought it or grabbed it from my chem locker either. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: I got...

    Am I odd that I think a ph of closer to 7.8 is ideal?

    I've been noticing something this year. When I have the ph down closer to the target of 7.5 the water dries my skin more. If I let ph slowly rise to 7.8 ish the water has a better feel both in and out of the water once the skin dries. I have a virtually constant FC level that I micro treat...

    What do weekly pool services actually do?

    Lets just say you pay for a weekly service. I assume they come out and first balance the ph. But in Texas FC loss at this point is so high due to water temp and sun exposure do they just bring the pool up to shock level every week and let it go? I assume they periodically monitor for stuff...

    Moss growing on some rock work, deal with it, or leave it?

    Hi, I have some green moss growing on some rock work around my pool. There are also some other fungii growing on the backside of the rocks and some of the higher areas. These rocks do not get rinsed with pool water and we have had unusual, but not extremely high levels of rain so far this CY...

    Noobish/Dumb SWG Question - Spa/Pool combo question

    Hi, I'm soon to restart SWG at my pool. I have a pool spa combo with an automated jandy system. I was wondering something though if I'm in the spa mode and only the return is powering the spa return am I getting a mega dose of CL? Is the Jandy going to shut down SWG while in the Spa? Is this...

    Ready to move to SWG from BBB

    My pool was built with SWG. When I bought the house they had pulled out the SWG electrode and were on chems. I've been BBB for most of the last year and I'm already seeing the cost of bleach is getting to the point where converting to SWG even at 2x the cost of bleach might make some...

    New to the forums. Hi. A few minor ?s

    Hi, I purchased a house with a pool about a year ago. I had in a previous life messed with a pool myself so I was familiar with how it works. I was lazy and just let a service do it for the summer. I didn't want to risk anything. I've been doing it solo since September with few issues at all...

    Polaris 3900 quit working.

    Hi, I have a http://www.epoolshop.com/polaris3900poo ... parts.aspx My pump is running and putting out pressure. When I look at the 3900 closer part 8 of the above diagram is spinning but nothing happens. I did notice that part 25 seems to have a 3 pronged "teeth", but I can't tell if this is...
