My spa was draining back into my pool so I replaced the flappers and during my post repair check I found the check valve housing leaking from a tiny split around the screws. Is there any old school pool guy trick to remove and replace the housing without having to totally reconstruct the...

My intellichlor ic40 has been acting up this season. Some days I get a cell light other days I don't and it seems like the chlorine production matches the on/off days. I also get no salt lights on the ic40 even though the salt level is correct. Additionally on the output lights I get the 40% and...

I have a Max-E-Term 400k BTU heater that once it reaches the high 80’s it begins to shut off the burner, throws a check heater light for about a minute then the heater re-lights for a minute or so and the process repeats again and again. I looked under the panel and it is throwing an HLS light...

Symptoms: Upon fire-up the heater will sometimes but not every time have a rattling noise initially. It will then heat as normal up until the mid 80 degrees and then heating stops, I get a service heater light for about a minute then it goes out, heating light begins to flash then goes solid...

This summer I upgraded from Compool to Easytouch automation. Previously with my Compool when I wanted to shut off the pump and sit in a quiet still pool of hot water I'd turn off the hot tub and it would run in hot tub mode for a few minutes with the heater off to cool the heater then shut off...

I'm looking to switch my old Max-E-Pro 2HP to the Intellipro VS. The best I can tell from the diagrams online the intake and output ports are at the same heights and distances apart on both units. It appears plumbing wise it should be a direct drop in from the Max-E-Pro. Has anyone made this...

I'm loving the TFP method but tired of lugging jugs of chlorine. I want to add an Intellicholr IC40 to my 11 year old Compool CP3400 automation. The Intellicholr IC40 requires me to buy an Intellicholr Power Center for $338 but for a few hundred more I can buy the Compool to Easytouch upgrade...

My Sta Rite Max-E-Therm 400 heater is short cycling while heating. I noticed it had shut off and the blower was still running so I went to look for the service heater light which was not illuminated. What I did notice was the heaters temperature reading was fluctuating from 93 to 110 while the...

I had my pool replastered in April with plain white quartz. I noticed some staining coming from my pop up heads and running down towards the deep end around the same time I did a boneheaded move. I poured about 35oz of what I thought was chlorine into the skimmer basket with the pump running...

New to TFP and this is my first post. After years of chasing algae blooms and dumping tons of pucks and bags of shock in the pool I'm taking control back to keep my new plaster new. Now on with my question. My pool was just re-plastered 2 weeks ago and the start up/curing instructions state...
