    Looking for a trashed Pentair Globrite Light body

    No, I was able to get in touch with someone that provided me with several of them. Thank you for checking and reaching out, I truly appreciate it. Also thanks to the others who tried to help me. The only bad thing now is that it's November in Ohio and my pool is covered with a green tarp of...

    Sand Filter Leaking... repair? replace? How do I keep it from happening (2nd time...)

    I ordered a new filter. I did not get a Pentair. I bought a Carvin Laser Sand Filter. I don't have any idea if it's better than the Pentair. It was about $300 cheaper, so if I get 3-6 years out of it, I'm still ahead of buying more Pentair Crud. I have the same issue with the Pentair LED...

    Sand Filter Leaking... repair? replace? How do I keep it from happening (2nd time...)

    Yea, I figured as much. I just don't understand why I will have to be putting a third filter in, in 10 years. That seems unreasonable to me. Thank you.

    Sand Filter Leaking... repair? replace? How do I keep it from happening (2nd time...)

    I have a Pentair Sand Dollar (SD80) sand filter. It is approximately 6 years old. I noticed in the spring that it was leaking around the top where the valve is clamped on. I was able to tighten up the clamp and stop the leak. A few weeks ago I notice a pin hole leak in the seam where the...

    Looking for a trashed Pentair Globrite Light body

    Fair enough. I will admit my ignorance here, but not sure what is really user servicable on them. My broken ones were a mess. I never thought to sell them on ebay. I just chucked them. I did save the cord in case I needed them for what ever. I am even growing tired of looking at them...

    Looking for a trashed Pentair Globrite Light body

    Thank you. The seller is certainly proud of his broken light. LoL. Not as proud as Pentair is with their pricing, but still proud. I sent him a message with an offer if it doesn't sell. I don't need the lens that bad. I do appreciate you giving me the link though. For some reason, ebay...

    Looking for a trashed Pentair Globrite Light body

    Hello. I need some help from the community here if possible. I need to get a Pentair Globrite Light Body sent to me. It does not need to be functioning. In fact, I'm not sure why anyone would want to send me a functioning Globrite, because they're expensive. (They also aren't likely to be...

    Why/how the pool techs could clean my pool in 15 minutes?!

    I'm sure you're right. I've never been a landlord at all, let alone a property with a pool. My basis was that the situation the OP is in now isn't working either! TFPC is an easy process, but someone needs to understand it and often the process requires hands on attention periodically...

    Why/how the pool techs could clean my pool in 15 minutes?!

    I don't usually like to offer "advice" because I still consider myself a novice. However, I have been using this site and the TFPC (or originally the BBB) method for 6 seasons now. My pool is generally clear and when it isn't I can usually tell you why and correct it within a couple of days...

    My Memorization Technique

    I just bought this comparator last week (because I accidentally bought a large amount of R-0004 and realized I didn't have the right equipment to use it! I was having a time trying to find the instructions, but once I called Taylor they directed me to the right place. I don't know if you can...

    Aquabot x4??? Machine of mystery...

    So here's the deal.... there really isn't much out about this cleaner. I don't know why, and the salespeople aren't giving up a whole lot of information. This could be because they are inept or they just aren't familiar. I got a hold of Aquabot and the first person said she could help me...

    Aquabot x4??? Machine of mystery...

    I'm looking for a new cleaner (posted another thread the other day). First of all.... I've continued to research since I made my other thread and I see how many of these "Which cleaner for me?" threads come up. Sorry... I'm a member on another forum for another hobby and I definitely realize...

    Slide or No Slide...that is the question.

    Congratulations on your new pool. This is an exciting time! Hopefully I can give a different perspective....or at least a fairly unique one. We built an IG pool in the spring of 2010, but we sold the house at the end of 2013 (Some circumstances changed and we were able to find a suitable...

    Robot Cleaner Decision

    I'm trying to narrow down my choice, but it's really difficult. I've never had one of these in the five years I've had a pool, but I think it's time. I'm leaning toward a Dolphin Z5 at this time, but I have some questions. I can get the z5 right now for $1124.99 including shipping from epic...

    Keetman's In-Ground Pool

    I wish it were mine! I have an acre and a half, total. You can see in the pic where the greener grass ends at a lane, that's where my land stops. Fortunately, the people that own the meadow behind me allow all the people in the neighborhood access. You can't see it in the picture, but there...
