Like many in Texas we lost power for just shy of 2 days. I was able to drain most of the equipment pad and suffered only a broken pipe in the heater. It was needing to be replaced anyways so not a total disappointment. After the freeze and thaw the equipment remained off for another week until...

Good day, I have a Raypak 406a that's not working currently. We only fire it a couple times in the winter for the spa. This time around it initially threw a Hi temp 1 fault code at us. Upon taking the front panel off for inspection and clean out it seems the whole bottom part of the heater has...

I admit, I neglected the pool this spring as temps began to rise sooner than normal. Took the cover off to reveal what looked like a nice catfish tank. Well started the SLAM process and 3 days later tadaa! Persistence and patience are the key! Pool school also helps bunch.

I was in the store whos name shall not be named (only getting reagent refills) and they had the new Polaris VRX iQ+ on display. The lady handed me a brochure and said, "look it even has lights!" lol Well see how it is after some reviews come out. Looks like it has a pretty decent debris basket...

Was dealing with some high FC levels. Over the course of the week I backed down the % via my ET8. FC levels continued to rise. Discovered while the ET8 accepted the command it didn't transmit to the IC40. I had to manually reduce the chlorine production with the buttons on the cell. When I...

Hey folks, my challenger pump seized over the weekend. Knew it was coming as we had a bearing whine for a few months. Anyhow I want to replace with VS unfortunately the process of finding 011018 with a "licensed installer" is proving to be a painful search. The main guy I use for parts can...

Good day folks I've searched around and found half answers to my situation but just looking for verification of my plan and any recommendations. We have a lot of trees. Going to cover next week hopefully to counter the deluge of debris in the pool and also the spring buds in March. The water...

Hey folks, I've been fighting low FC for the last week. At first I thought with all the rains we've had the salt was too low from overflow. It was at 3000. I bumped it up to 3400. Gave it another couple days after adding some bleach to get it back up. Checked this morning and I've only got .5...

So I added some CYA in the sock method. Suspended it in front of a return jet and ran the pump for 24 hours. It was all gone the next afternoon. Haven't backwashed. I am now finding this flaky white junk all over the bottom of the spa and towards the deep end of the pool. Is there a connection...

Good morning folks, I was trying to get my spa warmed up for an evening with family and my heater wouldn't fire. I've recently backwashed. Normal pressure is 12psi on pool, jumps to 19psi when valves are switched to the spa. I've taken the top and front off the heater and cleaned out all the...

Hello folks. Happy to be here. The wife and bought a house late last year and it came with a pool! (Oh boy here we go, what did I just do?... :o ) I've been through this forum a lot over the last 3 weeks. I feel I have a very basic understanding of how all the equipment works. Need to read more...
