Hey all... I posted a thread in the wrong spot last week, and an admin moved it here. Not sure if that's the best place, but that's where they put it. I had some questions that didn't get answered, but I forged ahead anyway. I've applied the first round of AA, and have a follow-up question...

I have read the "How to" thread on ascorbic acid cleaning, and will be attempting that myself soon. I paid someone a couple years ago to clean my pool because it had some stains, and I am pretty sure that's what he used. Like a fool, I didn't ask enough questions and didn't know how much DIY...

Hi folks, I've searched the forum and didn't find a thread that covered this situation, so if there is one... please forgive my lack of search skills... I have a Whisperflo which I managed to run blocked in for a couple hours inadvertently. I had closed the filter valve and forgot... felt...

Hey all, My Pentair 3/4 hp cleaner motor is malfunctioning. This problem started a couple weeks ago and I've been too busy to work on it until now. I just disabled the cleaner cycle since the pool is covered with a leaf net right now. The motor hums and won't run, then within 15-20 seconds...
