    Warrior SE died what's next

    Well it seems like the issue is the swivel or whatever that is called.. Had it out of the pool for a few days now because of all the rain we are having and today I threw it back into the pool and it didn't come on... After a few minutes of looking at it while in the water, I spun the swivel or...

    Warrior SE died what's next

    Well for some reason it's back working.. Seems it wanted to work when it wanted to work.. I would turn it on and set it but wouldn't start working until next cycle. So it would work perfectly until it shuts off after a few cycles or I unplug it to clean it and back to it working on the next...

    Pentair 320 (Product / CS)

    Shock Storage?

    I purchased a lot of shock and it seems the humidity has gotten to the packages. The box that comes with it is crumbling and the individual 1lb packs are stuck to each other and a pain to separate with the risk of ripping open the shock.. So how are you guys storing this in hot humid climates...

    Liner Cost $6700

    Well thought it would be a lot cheaper than $6700 for a 16x32 pool. This quote is from original installer 9 years ago.. Liner is faded bad, almost white so it's time to replace.. Sooooooooo is that the norm? Did a few searches here and they are from 2019 and older.

    Is this right or wrong?

    She has a business in Florida maintaining pools. I believe she is using scare tactics to sell products or services..

    Is this right or wrong?

    Also, I have asked her to explain to me why does a Vinyl pool and Fiberglass needs more maintenance.. Could someone explain that to me??

    Is this right or wrong?

    No... I replied again to her comment about that and told her all that needs to be done is backwash and a good cleaning now and then.. She stated the water hitting the grids will damage them and that is why to replace them.. LOL

    Is this right or wrong?

    Going to post a post that someone made in FB.. She added a lot after I stated a few things to her like test strips shouldn't be used, a properly balanced pool, etc etc. So I will leave the pic so you can educate me if she is right or wrong?

    Bigger is always better??

    Now I got your attention, have the failing 3/4hp pump. The B&D Pumps caught my eye... Should I go with 1.5, 2, or the big boy 3?? I could of sworn I read somewhere here to go for the bigger size and running it at slow speed.. Cant find that topic anywhere..

    Time to replace Pump before it goes poof

    Thanks . Nice info there. "Illegal" though bit much as (if I'm reading it right), I could purchase as long as it's in stock, even in the future. Until stock is depleted. Again thanks. Will be looking at VS now.

    Time to replace Pump before it goes poof

    Seeing my pump has a good leak, and running hot immediately with no sun on it, I want to replace it ASAP. I see lots of brands that are cheaper than Hayward like extreme I believe which are quite cheaper.. I don't want a cheap unit to fail in the near future but if anyone could give me some...

    Ice melt aka Calcium chloride

    Damaging liner?

    It seems like my dolphin robot is scrubbing the Crud out of my liner at and above water line. All the designs are almost gone. Liner is 7 years old. Especially at the corners. Anyone else have this issue?

    Good or Bad Idea?

    Technically no since its not a server controlled unit so if I lose my internet, it would still function (if I'm home). If I lose power, than the valves will go to NC mode. But if i'm away, yes that could happen.. Hmmm, now what if I add a timer to it so it only runs 5 minutes max?

    Good or Bad Idea?

    Living here in SC (Near Myrtle Beach), we get lots of down pours that could last for hours which makes me run outside to turn valve to waste to drain water because the overflow pipe cant handle it and me becoming soaked even with raingear on plus running out at 1, 2 , 3 o'clock in the morning...
