I would really like to make one of these. Where did you get the parts? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I was dealing with some metal staining in my vinyl lined in ground pool recently. I performed an AA treatment according to the directions found in Pool School. I added some polyquat 60 before taking the pH down to 0. However the pool got cloudy during this time. I did the AA treatment anyway...

I would like to know this as well. I am sick of paying the outrageous price to replace my colorlogic lights every few years.

What exactly is meant by "slowly raise the chlorine and pH to normal levels" How long should it take? A day, a week? I've read the AA treatment thread and still can't quite figure out how long I should take to get my pool back to normal.

Thanks a lot. That's the exact information I was looking for. I'm gonna pull the trigger on this one today.

I have the exact same problem with my pool and was wondering if anybody with the mx8 has any experience with this issue? Does it get into these corners to clean them out? I'd like to pull the trigger on this soon before the rebate is gone.

Well, my PB came through. Apparently there was something wrong with the pump so he installed a new one today. However now I am faced with the problem of low pressure not triggering the heater flow switch. Therefore the heater thinks there is no flow of water and will not turn on. Does...

I'm in a similar situation. I am a bit of a perfectionist also My liner seemed really smooth and almost perfect when the pool was first completed, however I keep discovering small divots that I know weren't there before. I even occasionaly discover a somewhat sharp but really small protrusion...

That is very similar to a problem I have with my liner. The pool has only been in the ground a couple of weeks and I have only had the chance to use it three times. I noticed what appears to be a ridge about 1/2" high and maybe 2 feet long in the deep end about 5 feet down. We have a sand and...

Heard back from the PB now that we're both back from vacation. He is having his electrician look at it and has ordered a two speed pump timer for me. He also said that if the pump cannot be set to run at two speeds, he will simply order a new one. Thanks for the input everyone.

Unfortunately I don't and I'm leaving on vacation for a week tomorrow morning so I really don't have any more time to deal with this for now. I guess I'll just have to talk to the PB when I get back. Thanks for the help. I'll post when I return.

I wrote back to Hayward regarding my switch question and they told me that yes in fact the switch is wired up correctly. The white or common wire should be on the outside of the three poles and the yellow and black should be next to each other. Now I'm completely lost as to why it seems to...

Okay, I contacted Hayward regarding the pump and was told that the wiring should be as follows: White (common) to Terminal 1 Yellow (high) to Terminal 2 Black (low) to Terminal 3/4 I opened up the pump and checked the wiring and everything looked correct. However when I checked the switch...

Hey Granny, I'm kinda new here and am researching pool cleaners. I'm leaning toward the Aquabot. How are they for reliability? Would it be worth the extra $$ for the Turbo or should I just go with the standard?

I’m looking for a recommendation for an automatic pool cleaner. I was originally considering buying a robot like the Aquabot, but after reading on this forum, it seems that a lot of people have issues with them breaking down often. I like the idea that it will provide additional filtering to...

I told the PB that the pump was only working at one speed and that I think its wired incorrectly. He told me that I need to use the switch on the back to change speeds (duh). I informed him that the switch has no apparent effect. I have not heard back from him yet. Aside from this, this PB...

Thanks Gordon, I may have to have a different electrician take a look at it. If its wired incorrectly, I'll back-charge my PB.

Thanks. that's what I thought, however I wasn't sure that they actually have to wire up the switch inside the pump when they install it. I figured the switch was already prewired for high and low speed when the pump was built. I guess that just shows how much I know about anything electrical.

First I'd like to say that this is a fantastic forum. Ive learned so much in the past few weeks it's amazing. I actually know a lot more about pool chemistry now then many pool owners I know. I just want to thank everybody for their willingness to share their knowledge to those of us that are...

Hi, I am an extreme newbie here and have a few questions about the colored lights. We are installing a 18 x 36 grecian pool in our backyard. I like the idea of the colorlogic lights. I think that they would look great in our pool, however we will have a somewhat dark liner and a friend...
