After a LO code error caused by a faulty water pressure switch and an AO code error caused by a faulty blower vacuum switch, I was able to get the old heater working again. For $50 in parts and probably a 1 hour time investment, I’m hopeful to get a little more mileage out of this 8 year old...

Hello, I had all breakers upgraded to GFCI recently and the one for the pump trips on startup almost every time. It never happens any other time. I never had an issue prior to having the breaker replaced. Thinking it was a bad breaker, the guy came out and replaced with another breaker with the...

Hello, after extensive study on this site, I’ve learned that my inherited plumbing setup is not good and am looking to make some changes. Here are my questions along with pics. 1. The SWG is probably in the worst possible spot. I can likely move it post-filter and pre-heater with not much...

Hello, I’m noticing my pool temp reading is wildly inaccurate. Woke up to a 94 degree reading but now it’s back down to a more accurate 46 degrees. Is the flow sensor the culprit or should I be looking for something else? See pics

I have 2 Colorlogic #SP0525LED30 50W 120V. 1 has gone belly up. Both are controlled through my ProLogic control panel, meaning both are wired to the same circuit and can be manually turned on and off together. I was thinking of replacing the bad one with a standard light with a bulb. Given my...

Hello, what would you suggest I do with these exposed wires feeding my pump? I’d prefer to not have to remove the wires and feed them through another wire cover but will do what is necessary to ensure safety/minimize wear and tear. Thanks.

Hello, I am seriously considering moving to a robot cleaner to replace the Polaris. I thought now would be a good time to shop for one. Some questions I have: 1. I’ve read where folks convert their Polaris line to another return. Is this a good idea? I have 4 returns currently and thought it...

Hi folks, is it possible to close down the slide only for the winter with the setup in the pic? The main pump is on the left and slide pump is on the right. There’s no valve controlling flow into the slide pump so water is circulating in that pump when the main pump is on. I really don’t want to...

I was cruising along nicely with my first season with TFP but maybe I got too complacent. I’ve noticed the pool getting cloudier and I’m brushing a bunch of green stuff off the bottom. Running my Polaris about 2 hours per day but I’m having to get him unstuck a lot lately. Pool readings up to...

Hello, I have a pool slide with a separate pump from the main pool pump. Any issues with running the slide without running the main pool pump? Pic attached (the slide pump is on the right). Don’t want to inadvertently burn up a motor. Thanks

Hello, warm enough day in Nashville to go swimming today which was great! While in the pool I did notice a few areas that likely need addressing. 1. The caulk around the steps is coming loose in spots. How do you recommend addressing and is there a special pool caulk for something like this? 2...

Hello all, we are new pool owners and the previous homeowners recommended this site to us. What a wealth of great info! I am pretty much clueless but have been working hard to educate myself on this site. I hired out the pool closing last November and hired the same company to open it up this...
