Hello all. I have an Intermatic P1403me timer. It’s actually my second one and this one is about a year old. It is once again losing date/time when any power failure. If I recall it’s a 100hr super capacitor but wouldn’t think it would fail so soon. Anyone know if there is a replacement...

Once again after three years of replacing I’m having issues with my pool vacuum. This is the second one in 8 years. Looking at rebuilding it but I would be spending around $250 to rebuilt with no guarantee that it will be fixed. Had similar issue back in 2020 which after rebuilding the issue...

Good afternoon everyone. I have a pentair superflow model 340043, two speed pump. I recently replaced the bearings and seals on it. Lately I am seeing the inpool vacuum having difficulty to move around. Once I close the skimmer valve and just leave the vacuum side open, it has enough...

Good afternoon. Today as I was troubleshooting the salt cell controller, I detected that my digital timer loses the programming once the power is cut from it. I looked to see if it had a battery backup to replace but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know if there is a hidden battery installed...

Hello all. So I have the no flow light solid red on. I have gone ahead and replaced the flow sensor and same thing. I followed a troubleshooting youtube video where it says that if you insert a flat head screw driver into the Rj11 telephone jack, and it blinks then it is the flow sensor and...

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing well and are safe. I've pretty much had it with my current pool vacuum, Kreppy Krauly Great White. I have lost count how many times I have rebuilt the unit in the past two years. From gears, to cam, to overall casing, etc... Currently it just moves...
