    Zodiac Caretaker pop up warranty question

    I am curious. I have a set of Caretaker 99 pop ups. They were installed before Zodiac bought the Caretaker company. I have no problem replacing the port 5 gear set under warranty. Replace a pop up under warranty? no. 1st pass, was no issue. 2nd pass, I had to send some of my pop ups, to...
