Yeah... IRENE hit and we lost power for more than 24 hours, I'm not sure the exact time that power was restored as we left for the vacation we had scheduled and decided to deal with the aftermath when we returned. Well, today we returned. Oh boy. Power is back on but my pool lost a good...

First year owning this house and inground pool. Getting ready to open and went to clean the filter grids today. Glad I did. At least 4 of the 8 grids were broken (the plastic pipes that run down the length of the grids were cracked and at least one was poking through!). Anyway, my first...

Ok, my first winter with a pool. It rarely freezes down here in Southern VA so I've gone for a soft closing (no draining, just shock/treat/cover and run the pump on cold nights). I put the cover on last weekend. The cover pump that conveyed with the house doesn't seem to work so I have been...

Getting ready to 'close' my pool for the first winter that I've owned it. SInce I'm in an area that rarely freezes at night, my plan is to clean/shock/algicide/cover the pool and set my timer to run the two-speed pump on low for 1-2 hours every night. I've been experimenting with the pump and...

My first winter as a pool owner. I have an Intermatic T106R mechanical timer that controls my two speed pump right now. Basically runs 24 hours a day and the timer tells it when to run on high (I only need high to run water through the solar heaters on the roof, more than enough circulation...

I'll get the specifics off my equipment tonight, but looking for the forums thoughts. I currently have a mechanical timer that controls my 2-speed pump alternating its operation between low and high speed. Once I've closed the pool for the winter, I'd like to convert this timer to turn the...

Couldn't find these in the manual nor by searching the forums. The previous owner told me he would get these errors often and was related to a poor connection between the front and back circuit boards. He was right... the alarm goes off a couple times a week. Does anyone know what these...

Recently purchased my new house with a beautiful inground saltwater pool. In two sections of the concrete walk surrounding the pool, the concrete has cracked and the previous owner filled the crack with what looks like silicon. I'm sure the cracking of any outdoor concrete is normal settling...

Just bought a house with a beautiful i/g pool. The pump is a 2-speed model which runs 24 hours a day, about 8 of those on high speed as directed by a mechanical timer. Is this normal to 2-speed pump pools? Should I replace the timer with one that would allow me to run it for 8 hours on low, 8...

My first pool. Took a water sample to the local pool store and added stabilizer, salt, TA reducer following their directions. It's been 10 days and the pool has seen moderate use and the area has received almost daily rain storms. I've used some dry acid to bring the pH down (it keeps...
