    Spa remote doesn't work

    The flush-mounted 4 function round spa remote has developed a short, according to a reliable pool technician. It's currently disabled. (It was turning on the spa by itself.) He wants $900 to replace it with about $650 of that for labor to pull a new line. Does anyone have experience...

Over the last couple of weeks, the stone above the pebble-tech has obtained a white-ish line at surface level. It doesn't just scrub off. What caused that? And how do I get rid of...

    Time for new equipment?

    My SWG Jandy 1400 had error code 170. No buttons worked, even Salinity to turn off the beeping. I replaced the backboard, and had the front board checked out by an expert IC company in Austin, TX. I mailed the entire unit to them, so they could power it up and everything. They got no error...
