    Pentair Warrior SE dead after almost 2 years

    Moves forward, then back, and runs for about 2 minutes then dies. Impeller is clean, reseated the motor assembly, replaced both drive wheels and bushings. Can't send it off because we are listing our house in a couple weeks, and honestly I don't have any faith in Maytronics anyway. It let me...

    PVC and Filter Replacement, but need advice on changes

    Howdy all... Good news is that my new Pentair CCP420 filter is supposed to ship this week! Now that it's "in the mail" I am looking to gather up some PVC to be prepared to get everything back in operation. Here's some pics of current setup. We inherited this when we bought the house in 2018...

    Filter replacement (Texas Winter Apocalypse 2021)

    Our power went out, pump stopped running, and yep... cracked PVC lines, cracked filter housing, and cracked DE filter. I have a spare pump housing and can do the PVC work myself. The filter is what I need help with. The now busted filter is a Pentair FNSP-48 DE filter. In another thread, I...

    What are these?

    We are new owners of an older pool (and house), and this is our first pool. What are these two items? The first pic, I'm pretty sure this is for a pool vacuum or "robot." There is, however, some water coming from this port when the pump is on, but not nearly as much as the return jets. The...

    Ca Hardness test - Violet or Blue?

    My CH is a bit high, and I'm doing the 10ml test. Should the correct reading be when the color first changes to violet, or keep adding drops until it changes to blue? For example, testing last night... violet equals 500ppm, and blue equals 675ppm Here's my numbers from last night's test...

    Hello! New resident of Texas and new pool owner

    Hello everyone! We recently moved to the Dallas area and bought a house with an existing in-ground pool with a DE filter. I've never owned or maintained a pool before, so being the self sufficient person that I am, I have committed to learn everything I can about keeping our pool in top shape...
