So I was getting an FL 4, bad ignitor. Tested it and confirmed it had failed. Ordered a new one, installed it, turned it on... got FL 0. Ran a backwash (it looked nasty in the filter glass), tried again... it fires, burns for a few seconds, then shuts off with no error code. Normally when it's...

I have a Waterway pump that through reasons which are unimportant here, requires a new impeller. I pulled the old one out, took it to the local pool store along with the photos of the pump model number, and they ordered in a replacement based on the model number of the pump. I just got the new...

My Century Centurion B852 started sounding like a Skrillex track thanks to a failing bearing, so I've got it open up replace the bearings, and found some surface rust on the armature and winding poles. Any tips to cleaning this up safely? Just a gentle dressing with super-fine sandpaper? Any...

Got a Jandy Lite 2 here. There's a leak somewhere in the back-right this thing after the winter, from my reading it sounds like it's probably something relatively painless to fix... however, I've got it halfway apart to discover a lot of green buildup on the heat exchanger fins. Can this be...

So I've come into this older Aber model 180 tub. Sat out in the rain for several months, with the open control panel facing upward. Dried it out for a couple days (under cover, warm air), then connected to power. Pops the breaker instantly when one leg of the 220 source is connected: unplug...

Most recent posts on this issue are about three years old, so since the system suggests I start a new one... here I am. So, same old story: firing up the system for spring, and the Lite2 gives me the FL 0, which is an error in the safety circuit. I found one old post that suggests bypassing the...

Well the leak guy came out and found our leak in about the first 10 minutes: where one return line comes in, the nozzle fitting appears to have not been attached properly (bad glue job maybe?), or may have pulled loose with settling and shifting... and someone in the past seems to have...

Just got a new solar cover, want to attach it to the existing Rocky Roller system (http://www.rockys.ca/grommet.html) but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the grommets apart. Any tips?

We have a 32'x'16' in-ground pool with surrounding concrete patio that over the years has become very rough with weathering (lots of exposed crush), which makes it very uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. Would be nice to use one of the rubberized products out there to re-finish it but those...

Howdy all, Not ENTIRELY new to pools, but still pretty green (pardon the pun) to pool maintenance. When we bought our house a year ago in December, the pool had already been closed down for the winter, and in the spring, we called their old pool guy to come open it up for us. By fall he...
