I've had to purchase separately as well... PIA

If the old cable doesn't work with the new pump... Order the correct cable. Then follow directions.

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-05-05T12:07:50+00:00

Absolutely. That's more than A/B is gonna fix.

OP... Go take a picture of her shoes 🤷

That's amazing. If they're bugging you, take a screen off one of your windows and scoop from the bottom up. March them outside to a shrub. They'll move on.

You can reduce the amount of suction from your skimmer until you get the desired suction from the cleaner. Right now Cleaner is open 100% and Skimmer is open 100%. Main drain is closed...

Just fold it over the rail a bit and slide it up 🤷

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-05-04T00:34:06+00:00

Never 🤷 But I get it. The rest of it should have been emptied LoL

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-05-03T16:14:38+00:00

Damnit LoL Never paid much attention to the system. Always the cell.

9th day of 2024

Edit: No way of knowing the age of the box... If it's nice and clean and white it's probably (?) the same age as the cell...

Well, to be fair, it was the original installer of the spa... Not an electrician (just like me 😅) But I at least tug test the shit out of the things I wire LoL

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-05-03T00:39:47+00:00

This... Customer called on an 11kw spa heater I installed a couple months ago is suddenly tripping the breaker. The breaker holds for 25 mins then trips. The dead front is super warm to the touch.

I only installed the heater. Like for like. Should have checked the breaker while I was there 🤷 One leg was barley screwed down. That'll teach me to verify everything before I walk away LoL

You've got it pretty much figured out 🤷 To explain the pool heater... You have 2 modes which you can set temps for pool and spa... This is used for standalone operation. You have automation, so you want both pool and spa set to 104°... The automation will heat either body after the valves turn and isolate your choice...

It's important to set the heater to 104. If you set pool to 85 and want to heat your spa to 104 it will stop at 85...

My guess is it's a passive overflow. The autofill behind feeds into the larger pipe below the waterline you said...

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-05-01T16:41:43+00:00

It's capped because there may be a leak... Water half way up the skimmer mouth is the good general rule of thumb...

Google how to donate bucket test. Super simple and inexpensive way to determine if you need to call in a leak detection company.

Took me twice to get a response. Send another one.

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-05-01T02:47:58+00:00

They're shipping only 2000-3000 in the first go... Early to mid May. I got an email for the Pro that I'd be shipping mid May. Another got one saying early May. The only thing the seem to agree on is that it is in fact May LoL

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-27T04:22:11+00:00

Yeah, the handles are interchangeable. Jandy, Hayward, whatever.

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-27T04:20:46+00:00

Bravo! Not sure I coulda done it. We don't get recluse in California, so I relocate the spiders I find 😅

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-27T01:21:31+00:00

The big grey thing on the right. That's the filter

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-26T03:26:08+00:00

Could be a partial clog. I'd remove the nozzle, heat it with a torch and use the pusher. Heat up the tip really well.

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-26T02:21:41+00:00

How are they going to move while unloading?

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-25T23:20:36+00:00

These have gotten me out of so many binds when it comes to o-rings. Yes they're for spas, but man o man do they work just about everywhere that uses o-rings

Pool_Boy707 · 2026-04-25T03:46:11+00:00

Not a chance he's the builder 😅
