Purchased a new aquabot jr 31 days ago. What the return period? 30days. :-( It comes on for a 4-5 seconds then goes off. After a while, I got it to run 3-4 minutes, then it stops. Reset and repeat. Has to be a timer or what ever tells it to reverse I am assuming. Not a lot on the...

Got some new steps and ready to float. Like the ideas here about being able to remove the weight. Fought the old ones the previous had filled with sand. Gonna make some of the weights out of 3"PVC. Quick question I may have missed. Do you mix the cement and fill the tube. Allow to dry then...

I have a 1.5hp single speed 120v plug in now. (Hayward SP1580X15 Power-Flo LX Series). Thinking I would like to get something a little more efficient. I know the two speed would be an improvement. Do they make a variable speed for AG? I ran an extra leg so going to 230 wouldn't be a...

I stubbed a 1 inch piece of PVC up next to one side of the pool anticipating decking to be on that side. When pool was installed deck could not be put there and had to move to other side. So thinking of a way to run conduit around edge of pool. Started to dig a ditch when I noticed that the lip...

Been reading as much as possible here since we got the pool in May - albeit not soon enough to fall for the ionizer pitch, but enough to know maybe not the smartest thing I ever bought. Yes I have a power ionizer that was promised to save me hundreds of dollars a year. To boot I bought it from...
