Not pool in signature: New customer with a Easytouch 8 and a Sta-Rite 400 overshot the temperature by seven degrees. Not that it stopped on its own but rather I got confused looking at the display and let it heat until I thought the water was warmer then the set point. So water temperature was...

Not pool in signature: Good day all, opened a pool for the season yesterday with a new as of last late July install. All was working beautifully till closing day with a normal winterizing..... Yesterday all the pump can give me is the second I take my finger off the display to run I get the...

I removed the inlet/outlet polymer header on a Raypak 406A heater to inspect the heat exchanger.... I ordered a new gasket but the instructions aren't clear to me when it describes the tightening pattern. I think I know how I want/need to bolt it back. My thinking is do the center top and...

Not pool in signature Good evening to all. Just started with a new customer approx 40k. Pool has 4 skimmers and a first for me looks to be of the Hayward brand with the second port of the skimmer plumbed to the pool a good amount below the skimmer mouth. Got the system up and going but it didn't...

Not pool in signature: Good morning, I know of pool I visit time to time .....said pool has the intellichem system and the FC level is next to non now eventhough the ic60 has all the lights on as I know is meaningless because the intellichem controls its output. I guess the orp sensors need to...

Not pool in signature What can be done to manage calcium flakes. This is a plaster pool and continues to have small calcium flakes on the floor and steps in the dead zones where its close to returns. I know it's calcium just by the reaction to MA. The pool 35k needs MA weekly somewhere between...

I have a pool with a flow vis installed after the heater but before the tee where the diverter valve sends the water when it would be in heater bypass mode. Basically if I bypass the heater the flow vis would be dead. Can I consider it then to be a check valve while in the bypass mode. The...

Anyone know much about this heater. Pb is recommending this as a possibility to a pool I oversee.

Client called with a no heat situation. Came on site heater was powered off and noticed the pad wet around the heater. I proceeded to power it back on only to find when blower turned on there was lots of gurgling. Took the side cover off and saw water bubbling out from under the blower base...

Not pool in signature: Helping a client with a vacation home in Florida. Pool was refinished in dimond brite about 6 weeks ago with new equipment on the pad which includes a HP for the shoulder season. Client says pool contractor said not to use the heater for 90 days as it can "discolor" or...

Not pool in signature: I'm involved in this pool as a back up to the customer to be reassured pb isn't doing anything non recommended. This pool and equipment is still under warranty so the po doesn't want to abandon them yet with Easytouch/ Intellichem. Not a fan of the intellichem system as I...

Not pool in signature Plaster pool and spa combo got winterized today but something about the spa is bugging me. The spa has two sets of 2 drains in the floor. Two are for the circulation of the six wall jets on a separate pump with a air blower and then there are two drains for when in spa...

Pool is simple, no spa no waterfall just a quad filter, IC60, mastertemp 400k and a polaris 280. Pool is set run 8am to 8am and cleaner 11pm to 8am just because I wanted a good cleaning cycle cuz the wet foliage on the auto pool cover had some worms that ended up in the pool due to someone's...

Just added some useful prized arsenal to my winterizing collection. The check valve cover comes handy when the pump lid is something I don't have yet which happens often enough. Used a milwaukee hole saw closest to the 11/2" pipe tap size and then let the tap do the rest as plastic is no match...

Customers pool is plaster 35k and this is it for the season. I've never dealt with an autofill situation so this issue is a first for me. It's fed off a standard house spigot non backflow variety with a toilet tank style fill valve. What would be the a-z on doing this correctly so come season...

Not pool in signature: Want to upgrade a Pentair Whisperflo to a V-Green vsp. The current motor labels are pictured, also will the wet end be fine the way it is with the original impeller or does it need to be changed to be compatible. Thanks in advance, Allan

Went to diagnose a Laars Lite2 pool heater only to find the 120/240vac Conversion Plug resistor burnt. The heater is wired in 240 volts and this plug was in the blue side which is correct for the 240 set up. I'm wondering if I were to convert the heater to a 120 voltage setup can I then plug the...

One of the pools that have the Calimar 3hp vs pump had a lightning 🌩 strike nearby and took out what I believe is the control. The extended warranty kicked in and got credit, ordered a new one only to find out it's not in stock and waiting for new shipment to arrive from China but with an...

Early this season I've been using several boxes of the RxClear brand stabilizer and found too many times under achieving per/lb from my calculations so I figured enough and let's try another brand. I then bought the Dohey Brand stabilizer in the 50lb pail and will say it hasn't let me down even...

Got a call this morning the robot doesn't want to move only to find this cordless formally corded robot in the deep. Now with Maytronics is this cable even available for the DIYer?

Customer has Easytouch with a Pentair Superflo which looks to be biting the dust. The motor will need bearings and is very loud/noisy besides the pump is old. They're upgrading everything around their house as the need arises to today's technology so why not move this project into that...

Hi and thanks in advance. Pool was filled a week ago after a full replaster. Customer states plaster material was used straight from the pails it came in. PB doesn't seem to concerned about the new plaster care and customer feels they may be neglecting it . I've read through the new plaster...

Pool has the Jandy system, Jandy Aqualink with the Aquapure1400 built into the control panel in upper left side currently being controlled via the Jandy PDA remote control which to me is dated and will be failing as there's only so much abuse it'll take. I want to take this pool to the next...
