Help needed please I have a pentair heater that was leaking all this summer but I didn't realize it. I finally took the heater apart to realize that its coming from the intake block. Its a very slow drip but nonetheless a leak. Is this something I can fix? Any help appreciated...

I have a Polaris P935 that has a deffective controller board. I've order the parts but its going to take about a month to get them. I was thinking that perhaps I should have an inexpensive pool cleaner in case my robot is out of commision like this. Does anyone have any recommendations. Not...

Thanks very much for the reply. I'm pretty sure I understand the controls and valves of the spa. Everything seems to work properly with regards to the filters, pumps. The jandy check valve is for the autofill. This all seems to be working properly. The knobs on the top just allow for air to...

The black pump is for the water fountain.

It's been pretty cold here too in Toronto. Although we just went through a two day heat wave and it was great!! Used the pool everyday. I don't want to get gas/electricity shock so that's why I was thinking of turning my pump off have the day. I guess it also prolongs the life of the pump...

I updated my signature but not sure if it will show up in this reply. I have a Pentair Intellitouch System, Pentair Intelliflo VS pump, Pentair Cartridge Filter, Pentair Intellichlor SWG, Pentair Mastertemp 250 heater and 25k gallon vinyl pool. Does that help?

I ordered mine and haven't received it yet. My old one shows the exact same crack marks as yours. This obviously is a defect in manufacturing OR they have a limited life span. In either case they are expensive as heck and I don't really know why? But yes in my case the cost difference was too...

It's dark now and I'll post a pic of the actual hot tub but it's one of these.

Thanks for the replies.....I went with the 3/4" in the end. Works well.

I have a Pentair Intelliflow pump connected to an intellitouch system. I've always wrangled with the set up and was wondering if someone can straighten me out. 1) Should I run the pump 24/7? 2) Should I run the pump 12hrs? If so during day or night? 3) If run what would be the normal rpm that...

Hey there, Wondering if someone can shed some light on this issue. Not sure which is which but I have a spill over hot tub/spa (the one that is built into a pool) where the water flow coming out of the jets are kind of weak'ish. But the main "escape" valve is very strong. Is there any way of...

I need to replace my inlet fittings as they are cracked. Some of them have a .5", .75" and 1" opening. Is there a reason to choose one over the other? I would understand that it's a pressure thing but how can I determine whats best for my pool? I have 2" hose plumbing.

I wound up ordering the pentair as the pricing was pretty close and not worth the risk since there wasn't any positive feedback on the brilliant wonder.

The brilliant wonder replacement seems to be made to replace the pentair equivalent.

My globrite in my hot tub has cracked its casing (apparently this is an issue with these models) and I need to replace it. GloBrite Color Changing LED Lights Wondering if I should get another pentair or go with the brilliant wonders version. Brilliant Wonders Color LED Light Kit- 11 Watts -...

Thanks for the replies. aj: I think you're right but not sure where it's leaking into and it seems that I would need to replace the whole motor assembly as I don't think you can purchase the motor separately. Is it common for these robots to develop leaks over time? david: The robot doesn't do...

I've had a Polaris P93 pool robot cleaner for about 5 years. Haven't had any issues until recently. Here is what I'm experiencing. 1) When the robot is dry out of water, I am able to start it up. The fan blows upon startup. Obviously with it not being in the water errors out. But the point here...

Okay I just wanted to follow up with everyone. First of all I wanted to say thank you very much for all the great information. You members are a life saver. I got myself a test kit (Taylor K-1004, only one I could get my hands on quickly) and started testing the water myself. I have to say...

Got it....okay so not to trust the store and to test my self. Going to do that right now.

Again thanks for the reply. I just added my signature settings last night as Casey had suggested which includes all my info however what you don't see in the printout is the volume of the pool which it used to calculate the quantities recommended (I had to cut it out as it included my personal...

Not sure what you mean by this "What did you target your CYA to be since you added the Stabilizer?" All I know is that the person at the pool store said to add 1 shock, ph down and stabilizer according to the amounts printed. Which is what I had done. I just second guess things when my second...

Agreed. I actually do have a test kit that the pool installer left me but I just thought taking it to the pool store that has automated water test system "Waterlink Datamate 10" http://www.lamotte.com/en/pool-spa/software/1768.html takes the guessing work out of the testing kits. I obviously do...

Casey thanks for the reply. I must have read more into your comment then. I'm sorry. I do appreciate your help. The water looks fairly clear. Okay I'll try and add liquid chlorine. If I look further at the print out of the test it clearly states CC is above recommended levels. This wasn't...
