    Raypak heater not igniting

    Moved into a house that has Raypak P-R206A heater, hooked up to natural gas line. Last year I've been having problems with it igniting, same with this year. I need to get this sorted finally. It will ignite, work for 15-20min, then turn off and keep igniting for next 30min, but it won't, it...

    Changing Liner, question on U channels holding it in place ?

    Need to change liner next year as it's extremely faded, and want to go with Unibead installation so I can simply hook it up top. Current liner I believe is overlap or Jhook, and then metal U channel to hold it in place, and plastic U channel over metal one for some reason. Metal u channel is...

    Dandelions white fluff floating all over pool - best way to get it out ?

    I have 24ft above ground pool, with a variable pump, and these things just took over my water surface :) How do I get rid of them efficiently ? I feel if I run my pump on high, they'll bypass skimmer basket since they're so tiny, and clog up my pump.

    Can't find 3ft high mesh fence, does it exhist ?

    I'm trying to find 3ft tall mesh fence to install on my deck, need about 24ft long, but I'm only having luck with 4ft tall mesh fence. Being in Canada it's even tougher to find anything, and I'm pretty sure I'll have to import from US. Anyone able to find one ?

    Hello all, trying to replace liner on a pool in a whouse we moved in, it's halfway dug in, and we believe it's Atlantic J1000 model.

    How do I deal with water in lines for winter ?

    Moved in here this summer, so first winter for me with this pool. I lowered water level 6'' below skimmer, covered with winter cover, only to realize I don't know what to do with my water lines. There's still water in them, and I'm afraid they will burst when they freeze in winter. I believe I...

    Need help calculating/understanding head loss

    Shopping for new pump, and I'm a bit confused at head loss, and how to calculate it. I'm lost on the fact if it's intake water only to pump you calculate, or also output length from pump to pool 13.5k above ground pool. Skimmer Basket ---> 5ft pipe ---> Pump ---> 4ft pipe ---> Filter ---> 50ft...

    Pentair Warrior SL, Dolphin Encore, Dolphin E-10, is there any difference ?

    I bought the Encore last week for my 24ft Above Ground, and it's climbing walls no problem. Pretty happy with the purchase so far, just not sure if I need the fine mesh basket replacement :)

    Rusting, and staining liner, how to replace ?

    Moved into new house with 24ft pool, and I noticed there's rusting metal part that's just crumbling away, and staining the liner. Can this be replaced while there's water in the pool ? Not familiar with assembly of pool, so not sure what is it that's rusting, and how to go about changing it out.

    Moved in to new house with above ground 24ft (13,5k gal), and looking for new robot. Is there any difference to these robots, or are they just same generic ones with differnt brand logo slapped on ?
