    Switching from Hayward to Pentair

    I have had a Hayward ecostar for 4 years now and have had to have the drive replaced 5 times, all by Hayward, which has excellent customer service but I am getting tired of having to shock the pool because the pump is down. So I purchased a Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump. I have it...

    Weir door foam

    Thanks! I usually don't start pool maintenance this early in the season but our pump and robot both died late last season and I am wanting to get ahead of this green stuff before warmer weather arrives and gives it a chance to spread. Appreciate the help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Weir door foam

    Thanks! I will give that a try. I'm guessing you took the door off to do this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Weir door foam

    Sometime in the past few months the foam in my weir door must have come off. The door now stays completely open even with the pump off. It is a waterway renegade Skimmer. Would any foam work or is it better to just replace the door. Also how does the door come out? Would hate to break another...

    Looking for a new pool robot. Not sure which one to go with?

    Yeah. They do pretty much everything now. I had it on a high dollar projector I purchased in the past. Lightning hit it. They had a person come inspect it within 3 days. 3 days later I had a check for the balance of the policy in hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Looking for a new pool robot. Not sure which one to go with?

    Correct. The maytronics warranty is void. It is from asurion. It covers it for a full 4 years. Free shipping to a warranty repair place and if it can't be fixed they pay out $800. I have used them in the past for other things and it is hassle free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Looking for a new pool robot. Not sure which one to go with?

    It gave me the option to add it when I added the product to the cart. It was the 4 year lawn and garden protection plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Looking for a new pool robot. Not sure which one to go with?

    Thanks for all the help! After exhausting myself over all these models that are about the same I made a decision. I ended up going with the older 2016 triton plus that comes with the remote and caddy with the top loading cartridge. Found a smoking deal on amazon warehouse that had it in like new...

    Looking for a new pool robot. Not sure which one to go with?

    Thanks or the reply's! Does anyone know anything about what the Triton describes as Advanced Anti-tangle Software? It kind of worries me that it doesn't have a swivel. I guess the Polaris 9300 I had just got on my last nerve because the darn cable would get literally tied in knots. No idea how...

    Looking for a new pool robot. Not sure which one to go with?

    So I am in the market for a new pool robot. I had a Polaris robot that had to be repaired 2 times, and now one of the wheels has fallen off which in the pool, no idea how or why but I am done with it. I got about 3 years out of it and it was a pain in my rear. So I am looking for another robot...

    Will a 1HP pool pump alone operate a Pressure Cleaner without need for a Booster Pump

    Don't mean to hijack the thread but just had a quick question. Can this robot stay in the water indefinitely since you said it has a weekly timer? I purchased a Polaris robot 4 years ago and had to have it repaired twice, now the wheel has fallen off. They advised it was not sealed good enough...

    Hayward Ecostar 3400SVP pump Drive Error

    I have been in contact with John from Hayward about the issues with my pump. Without asking John offered to provide a replacement drive with me covering the cost of labor. Being out of warranty, this is without question above and beyond customer service. John, thank you and Hayward for taking...

    Hayward Ecostar 3400SVP pump Drive Error

    So I go out on a rather warm January day the other day and notice the pump is not running. It says Drive error- pump has stalled. I check the skimmer and a huge batch of leaves got into the skimmer basket, no idea where they came from, it is January and no trees are on our property. So I imagine...

    Basketball goal

    So we went to a local auction last weekend and I picked up a new basketball backboard for $15. We have been looking at pool goals and the ones we have seen are outrageous. So for $15 I thought I would take a shot. This is a 52" spalding acrylic backboard. Since we already have concrete poured...

    What's your current pool temp?

    89 degrees. It has been 90 or above here in Northeast central Al for almost 2 week. My pool gets full sun from sunrise until sunset. A little to warm during the day but evening and night swimming it is just right. Looks like we are going to have some scorchers this summer so I would not be...

    Polaris 9300 robot

    We finally got our 9300 back. They replaced everything but the housing. Is working well but my warranty expires In August so hopefully I can a few more seasons out of it since everything is new. One thing that makes me nervous is on the plastic housing where it snaps together there it does not...

    Polaris 9300 robot

    When I spoke to polaris they said turn around time was a week to 10 days tops. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks. The idiots at Leslie's dragged their a** and didn't get they parts ordered until a week after I took it in. Granted they told me the next day they knew it was the motor. It is getting...

    Polaris 9300 robot

    Our polaris 9300 just stopped working. The lights would just flash on and off. Luckily the warranty is not up until this August. Called polaris and they gave me a service request number and said to take it to Leslie's as the labor is free. They called the other day and said the robot itself was...

    Yeti coolers

    I plan on making it so it can be taken out so draining shouldn't be a problem. If reviews are true this thing can hold 20 pounds of ice for a week, probably shorter given people will be in and out of it a lot though. If I can go a 3 day weekend with it getting opened several times a day with 20...

    Yeti coolers

    So we are still working on our pool amenities. Has been slow going recently and staying out of the pool in this heat instead of working is hard. :). We are building a bar area under our gazebo and was going to put a small under the cabinet refrigerator out there. I then had the idea of a...

    Help! Ecostar driver error!

    New drive came in today and I got it hooked up. Breaker kept tripping so I replaced it with a regular breaker. Works perfectly now. So basically out $100 for a new gfci breaker but back up and running finally. Wonder why the breaker went out? Is it tied to the drive.

    Help! Ecostar driver error!

    Just to update this thread. I contacted Hayward. They lead me to a local warranty servicer who luckily knew a Hayward guy was actually in our area today. He came by earlier and diagnosed the problem which was the drive. Something I didn't know is parts in the ecostar are covered for 3 years...

    So I just went out to the pool and the pump is saying driver error, driver has stalled. I have looked online and found to check the leads which all seems good. I have checked the impeller and it spins freely. Ohms reading from lead to ground shows no continuity. From lead to lead shows .8. Has...

    Materials for an island.

    Got any local hometown hardware stores? That is strange they didn't have any cement board. That is a very commonly used product that most big box stores should carry. I can see them no carrying cedar siding as that is probably not something commonly sold everyday. They should be able to order...

    FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!!

    Ha. I really don't think he even needs a offensive line for most games. He is at his best when on the run IMO. It will be a great game regardless. I am just glad A&M FINALLY made it into the SEC where they belong. They plan real man football unlike their little sister Longhorns. I have never...
