It was complete blind luck to be honest. Amazon had the "limited time deal" (not really limited because it's basically all the time) priced at $525. But it also had a coupon (click a check box next to the Add to Cart button) for $150 off. I jumped on it and bought it. I checked the next day...

Where do you all store your Aiper Scuba S1? Pulled the trigger on one because I got a really good deal ($375), but didn't even think about how heat will kill the battery. I live in Texas, and previously stored a corded Dolphin robot in the garage (can probably get over 110 degrees in the...

Actually not knowing much about pool construction, this was my original thought, that the skimmer was moving with the deck movement. Should I call a foundation company or a pool company (? a builder or ?) to come out and fix the issue? Thanks for your input

Ok that's good to know, thanks for the input. Hopefully the plumbing is ok. So would a concrete leveling company/foundation company able to stabilize and possibly fix the issue? Is that who I would call, or would I need a pool company to come out? Thanks!

So if the sunken part of the deck is raised, that may lower the other end of the deck (by the skimmer in my pics) hopefully closer to level with the coping? Is that possible? Because that would be great

It's to the right. The coping is lighter colored and the concrete deck is darker (yeah, it's very dirty, I know...)

This brutally hot summer with basically zero rain has shifted either my concrete pool deck (most likely) or my pool--see attached pics. The pool and deck is 25 years old, and I had it replastered with new coping a year and a half ago. I haven't had any issues with this at all until just this...

So I am having a lot of debris getting past my DE filter and clogging up my salt water generator. I've opened up the filter and all the screens look good and there don't seem to be any cracks or holes in the screens or the piping. I also changed out the spider gasket on the multiport valve...

Thanks, great idea. I bought my original system and replacement cell from them and they are great. Didn't occur to me to ask them, but will do.

I have an Autopilot Pool Pilot Digital 220 which stopped working after a major freeze and power outage x 4 days (Texas winter storm damage from last year). Whenever I try to run it, the unit gives a warning "Purifier Off -- Check Flow". If I disconnect the manifold using the unions then...

Hey, I have a Autopilot Dig-220, and am getting the Warning Low Amps--Cell? error. I have a RC-42 that is 5 1/2 yrs old, the readings are: Salt 3000ppm Temp 85 deg F 32V 3.0A (was 2.8A then I cleaned the cell) Power level 2 The cord connections are tight and not loose. I'm guessing it's a...

Or just convince your wife to add the acid and water..... :stirpot: Just kidding, of course

SWG is SO much better than lugging bleach. I believe people say it evens out, but even if it costs a little more, the convenience is 100% worth it. I still add acid every two weeks, even with a TA of 50-60 and minimal outgassing (low flows, no weird water features), so I'll leave it up to the...

Much bigger upfront cost, obviously, and probably costs more over the years than liquid chlorine, but it is so worth the time saved maintaining the pool (and hauling bottles of chlorine from the store). I can go 3 or more weeks easily without changing anything, and when I do have to change...

Weird, still can't see anything. I can see all your great pics on your first post, just not how you tee the buckets together. Tried a few computers and browsers.

Can't see the picture for some reason. Are you able to upload it again? Thanks

Anyone have any ideas where I can get an inexpensive 10 gallon tank (or around 10 gallons) that will be compatible with the acid? They all seem pricey. What material should the tank be made of? Awesome idea on the homemade acid system! How did you piggyback the two home depot buckets...

Ok, not what I really wanted to hear, but I guess I have no choice. Hopefully won't get stung too many times... Wish me luck. ....ok, just did it. I didn't realize this until I took off the cover, but the power module is not flush with the wall (I'm assuming they do this so that water runs...

Ok, a bit of an unusual situation, for at least for me: There is a wasp nest behind the cover of the wall unit portion of my Autopilot Dig 220 SWG. I know this because not only do wasps constantly come in and out from behind the cover, but I used one of those in wall fiberoptic cameras to see...

Anyone know of any inexpensive (including shipping) sources of calcium chloride that I can buy online? There are no local stores here that carry it (Houston never has it let alone in the summer...). I've been looking online for a while and haven't found something that is not too expensive...

Most pool equipment seems to be 220 volts, which means two hot wires and no neutral, so I believe 12-2 wire would have been fine to run. Might as well just cap off the neutral wire.

JasonLion, thanks for the reply. I really wish the Spa Autopilot version would work for me, but it looks like it has a limit of 600 gallons max, while my spa is 2000 gallons. But that is great to hear the Nano has temp compensation (the one that adjusts the chlorine with temp, I mean), as that...

I have an Autopilot Digital and LOVE the temperature compensation feature. Is there any other SWG with this feature? My impression is no. Also, I have the Autopilot on a pool, and am contemplating an SWG on a spa (separate body of water) as adding bleach is getting really old. The spa is...

Re: Venting Stenner pump tank without significant evaporatio Wow, you replied faster than I was able to figure out how to embed the image correctly into my post. So, would you consider a 1/4" diameter hole not too big? Thanks!

Ok, so I've got this Stenner pump which is pumping bleach into a spa. The tank has a lip on the top (see picture) surface underneath the pump which accumulates water when it rains, so I sealed the drainage hole from the pump into the tank with caulk. But when I did that, the tank could not...

Just wanted to post this in case anyone did a search on the pool blaster family of vacuum cleaners. Water Tech has released a new series of Pool vacuums (eg: pool blaster iVac M3) which now features a Smart Charger which hopefully won't overcharge the battery into oblivion like the old one. I...
