Thanks! Is there a product (or type of product) that you recommend for patching cracks in grout around tiles?

Okay, understood. So there's nothing additional I can really do to protect my pool at this point, then? I haven't had issues in the past, I'm just looking for relatively simple/inexpensive ways of adding protection for these occasional deep freezes.

In the context of fully winterizing a pool, there are lots of pool company websites that say some variation of this: Is that not correct?

I'm in OKC and have a (new to me) oddly shaped in-ground pool with a natural rock wall along one side that makes it impractical to cover, so I leave it running during the winter (no heater). The freeze protection works well and I tarp the equipment pad and put a heater underneath when it gets...

Thank you!

You mean install that with one port having nothing attached to it but closed off by the valve, and then winterize by attaching to that port...?

I live in Oklahoma City and have a weirdly shaped pool with a long natural rock wall that I can't easily cover or winterize. We don't get many hard freezes here, and when we do, I tarp the equipment pad and leave the pump running and everything has been fine. I also have a waterfall that does...

I am in OKC and tried this with a 1000W livestock bucket heater, which has an exposed heating element protected by a metal cover. I suspended the heater in the skimmer. A meat thermometer placed in direct contact with the heating element never read over 34 degrees, presumably because of the...

Thanks Jim! Sounds like Service mode does do what I want. I have a vibration sensor on the pump that's supposed to alert me if the pump shuts off when the temperature is below freezing, but it's a new gadget and it hasn't proven itself yet. A new VS pump would be nice- I figure this one (being...

I bought a house with a pool that uses old Pentair system: an EasyTouch 8 control panel with a SuperFlo 1.5HP single speed pump. I'm not sure how old the pump is, but the panel has an inspection sticker on it with a date of 2013. Everything works well. There is an extended freeze coming up, and...

Hi there, I have a float valve in the bottom of my skimmer, which I put there mostly there to protect against damage from a low water level while I'm away from home during the summer. It's fall, though, and I have lots of trees around my pool, and within a few hours today (thanks to some wind...

It does return to the color it was turned off at. But, when I turn it on, it starts at that color, does the blinking off and on, and then stays steady at that color. I thought that maybe the blinking was to tell me what mode it is currently in (based on the chart on the wiki you linked), but I...

I recently bought a house that came with a pool but no information about the equipment. It's all Pentair (EasyTouch control panel, cartridge filter, and pump), and there's a sticker on the panel that says the final inspection was done in October of 2013. The pool has a light that I believe is a...
