Hey all. I’ve read a few threads on here but haven’t quite found an answer. My dog chewed through my “tangle-free” cable so I thought I’d take a look and see if I can splice it. It’s only a year old and probably not covered by warranty for dog chewing. I peeled back the protective coating and it...

My nautilus broke and while I had to wait almost two months for parts I kind of let dirt just settle on the floor. I went and bought a pool vacuum and was able to vacuum leaves and some Other stuff but it seems like the dirt has bonded to the gunite. I’ve brushed and brushed and brushed and it...

Ok, so I’ve done everything I can think of in regards to return line bubbles. I know this indicates suction side air getting in. I’ve changed gaskets on actuator valves, used foam test around connections, isolated main drain and skimmer with manual valve, cleaned filters etcetera. This morning I...

I recently had a clanging and knocking and rattling noise when my heater was trying to kick on. I found the thermistor was bad and wouldn’t open causing the pressure of the water to make the spring rattle like my heater was about explode. After replacing the thermistor no more banging and...

So, we’ve had an unusually long stretch of heat and dry weather up in Oklahoma. I know it’s summer and all but I’ve got a few questions. Is it normal for a pool to evaporate quite a bit during a dry hot stretch. I’ve had to fill my pool several times in the last few weeks to the drain line...

I’ve got air bubbles, a lot, coming out of my two closest return lines and a small amount of air bubbles coming out of my spa return lines. I’ve checked everything. Skimmer basket doesn’t have any visible cracks. Checked Strainer Basket looks fine, replaced gasket, unions connecting pump to...

Well, now that ice is thawing I’m noticing pieces of plaster and a few spots where it looks like chunks. About 3 to 5 inches long by 2 to 3 inches wide and looks to be 1/2 to 1/4 deep on a tile line. Also noticed a decent chunk on top step just below sunning deck. Sunning deck basically entirely...

I have found a small leak in my return pipe going to my spa at equipment pad. When my freeze protection rotates from pool to spa is when it starts leaking. I have turned off spa freeze protection for now. I still have a slow return to spa so it won’t freeze. The 2” pipe that runs out of my...

Hey all. Been having a lot of air coming out of my return lines. And lots of bubbles in the strainer lid right before pump. I’ve replaced o-rings in strainer lid, drain plugs, new cartridge filters, new o-ring around filter, new clamp. Psi normally runs at 20 but now between 15-17. And still...

For the last few weeks when I let my dogs out in the morning I notice a small collection or pile of what looks like salt in my hot tub. The hot tub is a spillover in to pool. I dont see this this in the pool anywhere. Could I have my SWg output too high? It’s at 60% for pool and 2% for hot...

Hi all!! got a question that the user manual really doesn’t explain. I have a nautilus plus w/ clever clean. It has three run time options: daily, every other day and every 3rd day or something like that. Hiwever, it doesn’t really tell you or show you if you have actually set one of the...

Well, my wife called me in a panic saying our spa was draining. I came home and found the waste/drain plug completely blew out. The threads on the cap look fine and from what I can tell and fill with my finger the threads on the bottom tank assembly seem fine as well. Since i I was not home...
