    Polaris VRX IQ+ Swivel Cable Replacement

    Howdy all! Does anyone know if the swivel cable can be replaced on the Polaris VRX IQ+? We got a new puppy that chewed through mine. I found a diagram on a Canadian site that shows R0726700 as the part number but I cannot find anywhere else that lists parts for it or if it can be replaced.

    Pentair C&C+ 520 Cartridges: My Mistake Is Your Gain

    So I had a complete brain fart at my local pool store today and purchased 4 filter cartridges for a C&C 520. I got home, unwrapped them and stuck them in the housing only to realize, oh yeah, I have a 420. My memory had flashed back to my previous cartridge filter which was a Waterway 525...

    What Does This Do?

    I was cleaning my filters today and had a hard time getting the 4-way connector thing off the top and then noticed this little screen all clogged up. After removing some debris I could hear a suction break loose and everything came out fine. I assume it is to prevent small debris from blowing...

    Pentair IC40 - Killed By Freeze?

    Hey all. So all of my pool equipment survived the recent deep freeze in Texas...or so I thought. I had the pump running 23 hours a day and had not changed back to the normal schedule. Post freeze I just gave a cursory glance at the equipment area, didn't see any leaks and called it a day. So...

    Question About Aeration Observation

    Howdy everyone! I converted my pool this year over to SWG (where has THIS been all my life!) and the last item I am working to get in target range is TA. It has been 140-150 on every test for the last month. Everything is in line so I built a DIY aerator and have been running it today after...

    New Plaster - Sequestering Agent Question

    Howdy! I just had Pebble Sheen installed about a month ago. The installer had a local maintenance company get the chemicals started and he added a sequestrant which I cannot remember the name of. I had planned on using Jack's Magenta stuff. Is there any reason to not switch over to this? If...

    Question: Waterway Crystal Water 425 Cartridge Filter

    Howdy everyone! I am unable to find any manual for the filter for my pool and have a question that I hope someone has the answer to. In the diagram I attached, part #7 is described as "air relief assembly w/ tube" on the parts site I found. I am not sure how this works. It pokes up above the...
