Hi all, My girlfriends father gave us this plant. he cut them out of his yard because he didn't care for the extremely strong sword like branches and the incredibly sharp and hard needle on the very end. I planted it 1 year ago it was 24" tall then- it is now almost 6 feet. its like a supper...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out if I am losing water due to evaporation or an actual leak. I am seeing over 1/2 per day of water loss. My pool has direct sun almost all day, and the only thing different from last year is the addition of my heat pump. Not sure if higher water temps at night...

So OK we have three little Yorkies whom hate getting their feet wet and when it rains. Getting them to go potty on the grass is tough so they like to use the Landscaping area and the small river rocks as their potty area. My boys are on a constant patrol every couple days to "pick up" and such...

Are the couplings that mate to the cell specifically threaded and sized from Hayward? In other words, can I get these from Lowes, HD, etc......... Thank you!!!!!

I am installing a heat pump into my pool. A few questions in regards to the plumbing as at the same time I am moving to an electric cleaner. 1. Should I leave the plumbing in place for the Polaris Boost Pump, Tees, and the flex hose? ( the though is if the robot goes bad I could have a plan b...

Has anyone tried one of these new robots? they are $699 and $899 respectively here, 24 Month bumper to bumper warranty although only available through Brick and Mortar stores. As these prices I'm thinking a robot may finally be in my future! I'm hoping someone has one and can post a review!

Hi all!, Anyone have one of these untis that you can comment on your experience? I am seriously leaning this direction. I like their warranty and the Titanium lifetime warranty on the heater core. in addition the COP rating is fairly high. Any members have this? :goodjob:

Hello All, its been a while since I have posted. As some of you may recall from my earlier posts on this pump I had issues in the beginning as others did with water level in the bowl, priming, etc..... Even posted some YouTube vids.... Anyhow those issues were finally solved. However I wanted...

Hi all, Lately my display on my unit indocates the cell is off and there is no flow. If I turn up the speed on the Ecostar is will show flow. However, all last year it worked at this RPM. I even turned it up to 1300RPM and after a while it will say the same thing. So I am going to beleive...

Anyone have this thing yet? Was wondering what the subscription fee is per year, how you feel about the control.

Hi all this may sound easy but I think I over thought this and am now confused. On my DEFAULT MENU, my Chlorinator is set to 10% and my salt level shows 2900ppm On my DIAGNOSTIC MENU, its says "Chlorinator off Percentage Met", the "Instant Salt" shows 0000. The only time anything comes up in...

Hi All! Does anyone have any experience with this product? I have plain poured concrete and really would like to spruce it up. I have some color swatches, but really would like to know if anyone has used this and what they thought! I like that it has texture additives in the mix instead of...

Hi all! here is our pool area, next up staining the fence. I would also really like to do something with coloring the concrete. Some type of stain. Any ideas? Anyone heard of Texture Ease (spelling?) PB recommended it as a good DIY. Not wanting to go Acid stain route. Something me and the...

Hi all!, I am having cracking issues with the mortor between my bricks on the coping of the pool. The pool is 2 1/2 years old, the builder has already come out twice to "fix" the cracking. Their pool at the store (on display) is 8 yeras old and has no signs of the issues I have. What do you...

So I took a trip to my local pool builder (AAA Pools, Warner Robins). I needed to get some gaskets as my multi valve was leaking- to my surprise they just gave me the top piece fully assembled under warranty, so all I had to do was unscrew the existing and swap it out. So now onto the topic...

Is swimming in the pool at a FC level of around 10 bad for long term health?

So I was tired of always changing the fabric on the gazebos I would buy at Lowes or Home Depot. I had a quote for a pyramid hip roof design I wanted. It was almost $5K.....Way to high!! So 4 weekends and the right tools and some framing knowledge I made this.....$1300.00 including the...

I know we have had a few threads on this subject, and it apppears as though some people have been having air bubbles in their treturns with the Ecostar. Now that mine is installed, I too have air bubbles at the returns in the pool. When I have mine set to low (1225 rpm) it is most prevalent...

Hi all, Some news and tips for those who may be going this direction. Note as always in depth research would have prevented this but I relied on my Pool Builder. The setup was to be a Ecostar Controlled by the AquaPlus. In reality this marriage is VERY limited and will not allow full...

Hi all, I have white acrylic steps that have a black stain near the water "scum" line. I have tried using bleach and it does not seem to do anything to remove the stain. There are no stains anywhere on the liner, just the steps. What other cleaners do you recommend that I can use, that are...

Hi all, I have read quite a few of the Ecostar topics but havent seen anything in regards to this. I currently have a 1HP Super Pump. I have the Ecostar on order and would like to know more about the information the controller can display. Primarily in regards to water flow. Can the pump...
