    Help! Air blower only works in pool mode, not spa

    If I turn the blower on in pool mode bubbles come out the spa just as they should. if it’s in spa mode (when you would want bubbles) they don’t come out. it was suggested I replace the 3 spinning massage jets with regular ones as it could be a restriction issue and the air can’t make it...

    Water comes out blower when in spa mode

    Pool recently remodeled. No plumbing changed. New jets installed in spa, 6 total. Used to be 3 regular and 3 spinning or massaging jets....I replaced with all 6 the massaging kind. If you switch it to spa mode, immediately water comes out of the blower. It’s installed plenty high and far...

    HELP! Check valve issues....

    Background: Bought house 4.5yrs ago, pool had bad plaster at the time but not leaking so just dealt with it. Also, every night, the spa water level would drop to the pool level when equipment was off. Just figured it needed a check valve but since plaster was bad I never cared. Now we’ve had...

    Epoxy instead of plaster?

    Our pool has needed to be replastetrd since we bought the house 3yrs ago, but it's purely cosmetic so far & not leaking, so we keep putting it off. Good friend owns a home remodeling company & is wanting to branch out into pools. He mentioned wanting to look into getting his start on my pool...

    HELP! DE coming out of jets?

    Took the grids out today and cleaned them, sprayed with simple green and rinsed throughly, put everything back together and added de. When I did it, I didn't notice that I left the valve on backwash for a solid 10-15min. Noticed the water dropped 3-4" and quickly realized my mistake...

    Polaris pump died

    Been having some issues with my Polaris 280, wheels falling off, stripped screw holes, ect. A buddy gave me his old one and I was able to fix those issues but I'm sure it's just a bandaid. The hose also needs replacing as it's constantly tangled. However, last week the pump died. Now I'm...

    Not keeping chlorine & barely going through tabs

    Ok, I know using tabs isn't the preferred way, but I'm gone a lot, and it's the best option for me to have the pool "maintain itself" while I'm not around. I actually just popped a new Pentair 320 on 2 weeks ago, as I was pretty sure the old one was shot, it was barely going through any of the...

    iAqualink IQ900-A issues!

    I've had the IAQUALINK set-up for awhile, several months, all working flawlessly once programmed. We had a bad storm here on Thursday, knocked out the internet (Uverse). Technician came out on Saturday and determined the modem/router was fried and replaced it, also giving me a new SSID and...

    Laars Lite 2 shutting off early

    Model LD400N Polaris SOL 1000 controls (which I despise) :hammer: Roughly 10yrs old....just bought the house with it in August. So if I turn on the spa and heater, it ignites and warms to roughly 90-94 degrees then cycles off. I discovered the water temp sensor had gone bad, as I'm in...

    Possible chlorine demand issue

    Hello all, new pool owner here, and looking forward to becoming an active member! Purchased my house in early August, pool is 10-12 years old. I had a LARGE pine tree cut down that was next to the pool shortly after we moved in, and have been dealing with chlorine issues ever since. I've yet...
