    Pentair VF Pump Blowing Air

    When I put my my newish (<2 years old) Pentair VF pump into high speed for vacuuming today, it began blowing a lot of air from around the motor somewhere.

    Spa Drains When Freeze Protection Puts System in Spa Mode

    Is it me, or does the pool act up during the most inclement weather..? Had a cold snap here, and when the spa took its turn during a freeze protection cycle, the spa drained down (level to the pool's water line). I turned the spa off and back into pool mode, and the spa fills up in short...

    Difference In DPD-FAS Reagents and Wildly Different Results
