    Rust streak from auto fill on first year pool

    New Pool Build, Yet Another in DFW

    "Here's the second builder's design. They use Jandy equipment as opposed to Pentair. Also, the filter will not be DE, it will be equivalent cartridge. This company is definitely more "flashy" for lack of a better word. Their showroom is huge and has lots of props, and production value. I do...

Waiting for him to go on vacation so I can go over and test his water. His pool stays clear all year round, i'll give...

    Screenlogic issue!

    If it were me, id call Pentair and explain your case about your builder going belly up and ask if they have a local rep that can give you an on-site walk through. Pentair has been good to me for that size of a company and me being an end user.

    I been driving by this pool for years. The last 3 years it’s been a green swamp. Well this winter they drained it and left it empty. Over the past 2 months we have had LOTS of rain in Dallas. We had an 8” rain event over a weekend period and this happened.
