While there's no good way of testing either of these that I know of, it really does seem like there is an issue with either the MCU board (the clip-on board which is comprised of the firmware and CPU) or the PCB itself. I can't find anyone who has experienced similar issues, only the opposite...

Hello, welcome to TFP! Just to clarify, you're saying it will go back to Auto after only 10 seconds with no other intervention at all? When you upgraded to iAqualink 3.0, did you replace the entire PCB (the outdoor board with all of the buttons on it)? I ask because the board you're showing has...

I'll do that. Looks like there are actually multiple spots that are delaminating on the "sunning shelf" or whatever you want to call it. Argh. I actually can't tell if that's gunnite underneath or another plaster. Given how insanely thin it seems to be, I'm leaning toward it being maybe being...

Message received! I’ll only have to drain the pool down a few inches anyway. I’ll just do that and wait until I patch it to fully get my water chemistry in order. Thanks for the advice.

Searched and actually found a few positive reviews of the E-Z Patch stuff here on the forum. The 1FS kind looks like it can be used underwater, so I can go ahead and fill the pool all the way back up and not have to either keep it low or re-drain some when it gets here. Doesn't appear to be any...

Well, the spa/spillover is now rebuilt! Unlike before, there is now an actual "second wall" for the brick to attach to. I'd say it certainly looks much better now than before. I think he did a nice job on the brickwork, and he reset two of the big flagstone pieces on the top that were loose...

My filter is old enough to vote and the only thing that really, really annoys me about it is the fact that even grazing against it with bare skin means fiberglass torture for hours. I replaced the big rubber gasket 2 years ago or so, and besides that it still looks to be in great shape. Since...

It's not claiming a 4K gal/hr rating, but I use the 2k gal/hr "Drummond" 1/3hp submersible pump from Horrible Fright for this (SKU #63318). It carries both a CSA and UL rating. Here is the UL page - E197437 for CENTRAL PURCHASING L L C, DBA HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS | UL Solutions These pumps do go...

I'm of the same mindset. In my head, whether or not it actually makes any reliability difference, the Rotaxs are just too complex. You've got a gear reduction, liquid cooling, etc. I like the sheer simplicity of the Lycoming and Continental stuff I fly. Way less to go wrong. Granted an IO-360 in...

I'm jealous! I'd love to be able to build something one day. I'm not the biggest Rotax fan, but I think a Sling TSi kit would be fun.

Hey look Marty, I'm just trying to give all the Texas pool builder answers here. That pesky Aquapure clearly put those scrap pieces of brick, stone, and wood in there. Anyone want to do an over/under on how many beer cans they'll find? Those sneaky snakes over at Jandy.. Indeed it is an O-360...

You know, I bet having a salt water pool did this. My brother came over and I was showing him the work they have to do, and I pulled on the top of the wall to show him how loose it was. How loose was it? Yes.

The pool was built back in 2006, two owners ago. I'm assuming any warranty is loooooooong gone and probably wouldn't apply to me anyway.

Given that some of the bricks were already pretty severely dislodged, I peered down inside. It doesn't look like there is any "second wall" at all.. it's full of rocks and stones. It looks like what they did was build up the brick veneer, fill the void between the spa shell and veneer with...

I think that's what confused me about the whole design, the "second wall". I've never seen anything like that in other people's builds. Either way, I can confirm that the "second wall" is indeed probably full of voids for some reason. You can knock on it even with your knuckles and it sounds...

Rather timely now, I just received the "addendum" to the original quote. This is literally all it says: Addendum description: Remove the brick veneer on the spa spillway down to gunite Waterproof and rebuild the spillway. $2900 No explanation as to why. No explanation as to what purpose it's...

Contractor called me back and advised they're still waiting on the overpriced quote to be drafted. I had him explain it to me again, slowly, as to what we're doing when we rip off the brick. He said the mason told him that he "wants to see what's underneath the brick" to "make sure it was done...

To be fair, that makes two of us. The contractor himself didn't seem entirely clear and I had a language barrier with the mason on understanding exactly what he was trying to articulate. I figured I would have heard something back by now (my spa is sitting out dry baking in the sun, so I figured...

Additional question: is the bond beam the actual spa "shell"? e.g. this?:
