    Possibly a very dumb electrical question

    So, we haven't been able to get anyone out here to do the bonding for our pool. We have to get things pumping and filtering before it turns into a cesspool. If we shut it all off (pump, filter etc.) can we just swim without worrying about being electrocuted? I'm being completely serious and I...

    HELP! Boatman/Backswimmers and pool isn't full yet

    17k gallons - I don't quite know what to do - there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of boatman/backswimmers in my pool - It's not even full yet. We are on a well (no iron, all normal readings) and taking it slowly, it will be full today if all goes well. I haven't been able to use the...

    Smart bots?

    I just joined today and have learned a ton already!! I’m just curious, do any of the bots have the ability to notify you if they’re stuck or having any other issues? With an app or something? Maybe it’s not a thing yet but my mind is racing with so many questions :) I don’t even have my pool yet...

    Rj45 adjustments

    Newbie here...so the RJ 45+ chlorine output is adjustable by 5%? I couldn't find it anywhere in the manual (I did find it in the Universal manual). I just ordered a 17k gal (27' round) pool today and really have no idea what I'm doing :) hopefully I'm in the right place for learning!!
