    Replacing Pentair Globrite

    I have a Globrite I need to replace and happy doing it myself, but are there any videos or step by step? Do I need to lower the water to below the niche? The one I'm replacing is on a shelf about 4" below surface so wouldn't be a big deal. Man, these lights suck. Any leads on the best price for...

    Potential leak on new build - detection methods?

    We're wrapping up our build and everything was fine until we noticed an area of our stone side wall was a little wet. I didn't think much of it as we'd been rebuilding the irrigation system and figured a head or something sprayed up, but after we started running the Polaris (3 weeks after...

    Globrites vs Intellibrites (Pentair Lighting)

    My PB is looking to use Globrites on my pool despite me originally stating I wanted the Intellibrite 5G LEDs -he says given my main pool area depth 3.5-5' and dimensions 11X20, 2 globrites should be just fine. These new lights from Pentair appear to be for "shallow applications" like shelves...

Anyway, we looked at a pool recently with a "beach" (no slope to entry), but 6" deep shelf with...

    Auto Cover info - CoverStar details?

    I'm having trouble getting any real details on automatic covers - aside form the CoverPools site, http://www.coverpools.com/pool-cover-sy ... O7Zo2-x99U there really isn't a lot of good info on CoverStar or any other companies? In fact, what are the other companies? My PB uses CoverStar and...

    In design phase, looking for non-SWCG system to supplement

    First post - I'm still narrowing down pool builders in Austin (will take recs!) and have designed my own pool. My yard is small and with utility easements, there's really only one place that makes sense and it's gonna be small (8500 gal) plus a decent sized spa. I'm going with a VS Pentair pump...
