Pancake compressor here.

I opened our pool a couple of days ago. The chlorinator was working okay, but had a few weird things going on which I rightly or wrongly attributed to a too-cold pool and insufficient salt level. At any rate, this morning, the control panel will not wake up. It’s getting power. The fuse...

This winter will be season 5 for our safety cover here in VA. How many more seasons (if any) should I expect to get out of it?

I have been reasonably successful opening and closing my pool in the four years I have had it. I’m wondering if there is a way to improve my process so that I don’t have to SLAM every spring at opening. Due to our winter travel schedule, I can rarely wait until the water temp is below 60 deg...

Right after my OBX vacation in mid-May. Last year I opened the second week of April and got clobbered with tree trash and pollen. The water won’t be warm enough to swim until at least Memorial Day.

Until they aren’t. :-)

Mine is the same age as yours and I also have that back and forth thing going on. It still cleans the pool, but spends an inordinate amount of time doing the Texas two-step. As I recall, around the time I purchased it, some folks were having this issue and the manuf said there was a software...
