The needle brush on my Aquabot X4 broke off one of the pins that retains the brush assembly, and rather than buy a new brush assembly for ~ $40 I figured what the heck - print one! It's a simple enough design, so a few minutes in Fusion 360 and just under an hour total on the printer. We'll...

I'm a relatively new pool owner, downright green by comparison to some of y'all. So as you can imagine, I've been learning a lot and just when I think I know pretty much "everything" I learn something new. Saturday was one of those days. I learned that if I rotate the jets in the spa, I can...

I recently ordered R-0870 and it showed up as a solid white and brown rock. Should I trust it or get it replaced?

Last weekend's rains came down hard and the drain just couldn't keep up. Only took an hour to drop down once it quit though ;)

For some reason my pool doesn't seem to be using the amount of chlorine I'd expect for being in SE Texas, with the visible issues I am fighting. We bought the house last fall, and I've been steadily working to clean the pool up to TFP norms. It wasn't green when we bought it, but you could see...

I had plenty of pipe to install my RJ45+, but I'm still low on CYA and need to add some. Anyone ever just dump it in the old puck bucket and crank it wide open?

This morning as the storms rolled through and I was getting ready for work, we had a few brownouts. Pretty hefty voltage sags, popped 3 or 4 GFCI's, and ... apparently killed my pump motor. I didn't notice it when I left, but when I get home the pump is usually running at low speed and there...

It's well preached and well received the FAS/DPD test is far more accurate, allows for testing above 10ppm, etc. But my question is, for a balanced and sanitary pool, who cares? You're measuring levels at that instant, and they will be changing over the course of the day anyway. So what's the...

Wife is wanting to update the kitchen, anyone in the local area have a contractor they've used and would recommend? Trying to find someone reliable, and who can strike a good cost/quality balance because there's more projects behind this one (stairs, wainscot, gazebo). We're looking to do a...

Anyone know what these two capped pipes would be for? 1. The capped pipe directly below the puck tank 2. The smaller capped pipe near the wall, extending from the skimmer drain line (middle line on the suck side)

Recently bought a house with a pool, always wanted one just never quite worked out until now. It's about 8 or so years old and in reasonable shape for its age, but does need some maintenance. I've already learned a ton reading through the forum. Anyway intros are boring, back to reading ;)

I've got an H series heater, and more of the segments on the 3 digit LED display are dead than work. So, figured it'd be an easy task to pull the board and replace the 7 segment display module, but for the life of me I can't seem to match the part. The numbers on the display are: LA19209-46-01...
