Have a Pentair single speed pump, 3/4hp. Flipped motor on, made a loud pop, strong smell. Capacitor blown, covered in liquid. Seemed like an easy replacement. Replaced capacitor with identical brand and specs. Still just hums when turned on. Motor shaft spins freely. Will start and seems to...

The lines have a symmetrical quality, but they just seem odd looking to be from the factory.

My Hayward salt system is doing the infamous "low salt" reading when the salt levels are fine. I had the cell tested, it failed the test. The salt cell system works great WHEN I can "fool" it. Like I can do a hard reset and it pumps chlorine out for a day or two. My entire ownership...

I've had a plaster pool for several years now (20k gallons) in Phx AZ area, and with the addition of a SWG, the pool needs a lot of muratic acid. I almost never had to do it with a fiberglass pool. I basically have to drop one gallon per week to get it into the zone. Is there anything I can...

So I recently converted my 20k gallon pool to a Hayward AQR 15 40k gallon salt cell system. Everything seems to be working great, pumps out plenty of chlorine. In fact I had to dial it down a bit because it was making too much chlorine. But the problem is, the salt level seems to drop faster...

I recently added a salt water generator to my pool and love it. But one thing this pool has always struggled with is high PH since I had the pool redone in plaster, even before the SWG. The SWG seems to make it a bit worse. (As a side note, I really regret going to a plaster pool, my...

So my issue is, I have a white plaster pool and it seems I always have a bit of dirt on the surface (As an aside, I regret not getting pebbletech as it shows less dirt) I currently have a sand filter and Polaris 280 cleaner, and it appears both are working properly. The pool water is clear and...

My Polaris 280 is having issues, it's about 5 years old now. Keeps getting stuck, it used to be fine. Made some adjustments, but still has issues. On some YouTube videos, I noticed people will "spin" one wheel and they all spin freely for a while, like a skateboard wheel. Mine does not do...

I have a Pentair Amerlite 120v pool light. The light assembly has taken in a small amount of water. I opened up the seal, let it dry, and replaced with a new bulb, but it's no longer working. What exactly is "broken"? I would think it's basically just wires and a bulb, once it's dried out...

I have to say, I'm disappointed with my purchase of the Liquidator, but I was hoping to see if I could make improvements. What happens is, if I start my variable flow pump at a high setting, say 3000rpm, and then back it down to 1500 rpm, my flow from the Liquidator stays around the 2-3 mark...

I purchased a Liquidator and I really like it, except for the fact I have trouble "feeding" the pool enough as I have my pump set low (the main reason you buy a variable flow pump) I use an IntelliFlo and I did have it around 1,100rpm, but barely anything was trickling in from the Liquidator so...

My spa has a waterfall spillway that goes into the main pool. The spillway pump needs to be replaced, and I wanted to know how small a pump I can get away with? The pump only serves one purpose, it takes water from the pool and puts it into the spa. There's another pump used for filtration...

The screen for my AquaLinkRS will randomly default to a random date (i.e. 2006) and a random time. Also, the equipment seems to have a mind of its own and is not following the programs I have set. Coming on and going off randomly. Does this indicate I need a new board at the main unit? Or...
