    Polaris 280 tipping over sideways or nosediving

    Hi TFP, Our Polaris 280, "Sharky", keeps laying down on the job. It's been a while since he had any maintenance so this week I replaced the "thrust jet", "water management system" and gave him a new bag. He's got great pressure and he's definitely kicking now, but he keeps tipping over and...

    Freeze damage to Jacuzzi Tri-clops filter and Jandy NeverLube valves

    Hi all, TL;DR - Freeze busted my Jacuzzi tri-clops filter on a 23k gallon pool. Replacement part is $600. Is there an alternative that would be better or cheaper? I am a relatively new pool maintain-er. My in-laws own the house and we have been renting from them for two years. Due to this, I...
