I have an elevated (above pool water level by ~2ft) spillover spa which in pool mode returns extra water to the spa to create the spill over effect. I noticed this week that the water level was dropping significantly overnight... I had the same problem a few years back, and replacing the...

Noticed a hissing sound coming from my autofill today, and sure enough there is a slow leak coming from the top of the fill valve assembly. See attachment. I'm hoping to avoid a $250+ visit from the pool company. In the mean time, I've jammed a stick under the lever to hold the float in the 'up'...

So it's that time again, my old Polaris 380 has once again stopped moving. Opened her up expecting the find the usual snapped drive belt. This year both belts have snapped, and the gears within the 'water drive' enclosure appear loose, several of the 'fins' on the main wheel are cracked/chipped...

I have a rather old (came with the house 5 years ago) Hayward D.E. ProGrid Filter. It's worked great so far, and I've gotten pretty quick at disassembling and cleaning the thing. Last night I noticed that I have a slow 'drip' leak coming from the top of the filter, in between the top housing and...

I have an approximately 1ft long crack that stretched across 3 of the tiles (above the waterline) in my pool. I need to search the attic and garage to see if I have any extra matching tiles. What are the best / easiest to use products for either 1 - Filling/patching the crack 2 - Replacing...

Recently brought my salt up to operating range to get my SWG running for Spring/Summer (I use pucks & liquid in the cooler months). Over the past week I've been getting a variety of errors. By flipping the circuit breaker to my equipment on and off, I can sometimes get the errors to clear and...

I ordered a new flow switch on Amazon to replace my malfunctioning FS in my IC-40 SWG. It arrived today with what appears to be a manufacturing defect that I intend to fix/remove... but wanted to do a sanity check with the community here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the bottom piece of the...

I have a 2.5yr old Pentair IC40 SWG with plenty of life left according to the run-time light readout. It has work flawlessly the last 2 summers. Over the past few weeks it seems to be 50/50 on whether the flow light is Red or Green... and as a result I'm not making enough chlorine based on my...

Water level is currently about an inch high, slightly above the drain grate in the side of my pool. Normally this happens after a heavy rain, but we have not had any rain in the past week. I checked the autofill, which on my pool is essentially the same equipment in my toilet tanks... the float...

Woke up this morning to find my Polaris 380 was missing the front wheel on the 2 wheel side. Also, the plastic 'axle/hub' has become disconnected from the metal driveline that is spinning. So it appears that the front wheel was not driving, but turning for a least some time. In this situation...

Replaced my old (circa 1998) polaris booster pump with the new PB4SQ model. It's extremely quiet. Anyone concerned with noise should consider this pump. My old booster pump was the noisiest piece of my equipment... now I literally can't hear it running. My intelliflo VS pump is significantly...
