    AquaCal Autopilot 75003 Questions

    Autopilot did a ton of troubleshooting with me and finally agreed the unit was defective. Sent pool builder out to replace a few parts and when here it was determined there was too much wrong with it to fix it. They replaced the entire unit. Now throwing up 19 V 6.5 amps which I believe to...

    AquaCal Autopilot 75003 Questions

    Hi Josh: Yes, I've done both. On Saturday I took a water sample to the pool store specifically to confirm the salt content. It was spot on at 3100 ppm. Additionally, I did all of the suggested maintenance and self-checks in the owner's manual including removing and cleaning the screen (it...

    AquaCal Autopilot 75003 Questions

    New pool as of last year. Not convinced the Autopilot has worked properly ever. A few days ago, I got a warning "Low Amps - Cell?". I checked out the troubleshooting section of the manual and followed suggestions. At that time, the salt content was 3100 ppm, 5 V and 0.5 A. Clearly looked...

    New pool owner - opinions on Hayward SharkVac XL

    I am a new inground pool owner. I hate the pressure side Polaris cleaner that came with the pool. I previously had an above-ground pool at our prior house and had a Rover. I liked the robot and it cleaned pretty well. I was at our local pool store looking at different models today. They had...

    New Build - Central PA (First Time Pool Owner)

    LOL....am I ever ready to get rid of Mt. Everest. I'm actually doing some of the grading/landscaping myself. I just need more time in my day so i can jump on the John Deere and get the dirt spread out. We are using it mostly on the side of the pool that they had to build up to level the pool...

    New Build - Central PA (First Time Pool Owner)

    Well.......we are finally there....at least to a point where swimming can happen. We had AquaBright application about three weeks ago and filled the pool the next day. First, I have to say that as frustrated as I was with the pool builder during the entire process (predominately due to very...

    Lap Pool Renovation with Aquabright

    That comment came from me but was not originated by me. It was originated and stated to me by the pool builder here in Eastern PA that is associated with AB and, to my understanding, the development of AB. They actually talked us out of the Blue Mist color using that statement. I don't want...

    bpool.....I did talk to the PB about this. The AB installation at this point is a three step process. First they will put on plaster. They then will do what is called a flocking coat of the AB and then they will do the final coat! They said that the AB process is very weather sensitive so...

    A few more construction photos: (1) Tile went in on Friday so the first few show how it looks. I think it will look great once the AquaBright finish goes in. (2) Added a few pictures of our equipment pad that went it Wednesday last week. When the project is done, this pad wil be hidden...
