So, my pool pump was tripping the breaker when going from high to low speed (was happening for a week, waiting for the pool company to check it out). I decide to do a backwash (all in high speed), to see if there was some variable I wasn't considering. After the backwash, the pump stopped...

I have a Goldline (Hayward) Pro Logic system. I have generally been able to properly control my chlorine by adjusting the “Pool Chlorinator %” setting. But, I am confused about what it means. I thought it meant 20% of my pool runtime. So, if I run my pool from 8-5, the chlorinator should run...

For the last two years I have had my pool, it has really frustrated me that the water temperature (that decides if the heater should run) was very inaccurate. If the sun is out, it could be 5-10F different then what either the sensor in the Heat Pump thinks the water is, the sensor in the salt...

We have a Polaris 3900 sport, which besides all the reviews I see online, has done well for us. It cleans, it climbs walls, etc. That being said, there is a corner of the pool by our stairs that is the PERFECT angle for it to get stuck in. When the backup-jet thing turns on, 90% of the time...

So, yesterday (it was about 90F out), I got home from the gym and saw that the pool temperature read 95F. Realizing that it would be impossible for the pool to go from 85-95 overnight (without the propane running), I went out to the pool and noticed that the pump wasn't running. Hmm, so I...

We had a lightning strike a few weeks ago. The electrician that hooked up our pool equipment came out and replaced some breakers on the pool equipment, but said that the lights weren't working (they said they checked the electrical for the lights, and they were good). I also noticed my Actuator...

Today, it was 85 outside. Because it gets cold at night, still, the pool started out at around 76. I have the heat pump set to bring it up to about 83. My house air conditioner is generating cold air and fanning out hot air. RIGHT NEXT to that, is my pool heat pump, which is generating heat...

So, first year with my pool. Have had the pool open for a little over a month and the weather has been really erratic. I am trying to figure out exactly when it makes sense to use the heat-pump for heat vs. propane heater. Everyone says, that if you want heat quick, use the propane heater (I...

So, my pool was finished at the end of last year. We had the electrician run an extra pipe for low voltage wiring out by the pool. I bought a pair of rock speakers and I want to wire them up soon. How do people usually wire these up? I was going to run a pair of (I think I have 12 gauge)...

First season with a pool (well, it finished at the VERY end of last season, we didn't have time to use the heater other then to make sure it works). I have both a Propane heater and a heat pump. It has been pretty cold around here, but it will be 70 at least 3 days this week (and the kids are...

Our pool build finished late September of last year. We swam a handful of times and closed it (live in Southern NH). So I consider this my first season as a pool owner. I have been reading this site a lot to get prepared for taking care of my pool. Since I remember last year around Easter...
