The controller for my Prowler 920 will NOT turn on. It flashes a few of the lights on and off but will not power up so I can run the Prowler to clean my pool
If the controller for your Prowler 920 robotic pool cleaner is not turning on or powering up properly, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the Power Supply: Ensure that the power supply is properly connected to the controller and that it is receiving power. Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning power outlet. You can try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm that it is working correctly.
2. Inspect the Controller Display: Take a close look at the display on the controller. If any error codes or messages are displayed, consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for further instructions on how to resolve the specific issue indicated.
3. Reset the Controller: Try performing a reset on the controller. Look for a reset button or a combination of buttons to press and hold simultaneously for a few seconds. This action can often help resolve minor software glitches and restore the controller's functionality.
4. Check for Loose Connections: Ensure that all cables and connections between the controller and the power supply or the Prowler unit are securely plugged in. Sometimes, a loose or faulty connection can prevent the controller from turning on.
5. Replace Batteries: If your controller uses batteries, make sure they are not depleted. Try replacing the batteries with fresh ones and see if the controller powers up properly.
6. Contact Manufacturer Support: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to the manufacturer's customer support. They can provide you with further assistance, troubleshooting steps, or advise on any potential repairs or replacements that may be needed.
Remember to consult the user manual that came with your Prowler 920 for any specific troubleshooting steps or contact information for customer support.

My Raypak RP2100 heater, when starting for first time of the day, shows CFH, then SPK and then just buzzes.
The error codes and buzzing sound you are experiencing with your Raypak RP2100 heater indicate potential issues with the ignition and flame sensing components. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. Check Gas Supply: Ensure that there is an adequate supply of gas to the heater. Make sure the gas valve is fully open and that there are no obstructions or leaks in the gas line.
2. Inspect Ignition System: The CFH (Call For Heat) and SPK (Spark Ignition) codes suggest that the heater is having trouble igniting. Inspect the ignition system components, including the spark electrode, ignition control module, and wiring connections. Clean any debris or corrosion that may be affecting the spark ignition.
3. Check Flame Sensor: The buzzing sound you hear could be related to the flame sensing system. The heater may not sense the presence of a flame, causing it to shut down. Inspect the flame sensor for any buildup of soot, debris, or corrosion. Clean the flame sensor using a soft cloth or a non-abrasive brush.
4. Verify Proper Ventilation: Ensure that the heater's venting system is clear of any blockages. Blocked vents can lead to incomplete combustion and affect the heater's ignition process.
5. Consult the Owner's Manual: Refer to the owner's manual for your specific model of the Raypak RP2100 heater. It may provide additional troubleshooting steps and error code explanations that are specific to your unit.
6. Seek Professional Assistance: If the issue persists or you are unable to resolve it on your own, it's recommended to contact a professional technician who is experienced with Raypak heaters. They will have the expertise to diagnose and repair any complex issues with the ignition system.
Remember, dealing with gas appliances can be dangerous. If you are not experienced with working on gas heaters, it is best to contact a qualified professional to ensure proper troubleshooting and repairs.
Our control panel indicator lights do not light up when pool comes on but may come on during the cycle. No consistency.
If the control panel indicator lights on your pool system do not consistently light up when the pool is turned on, it could indicate a potential issue with the control panel or the electrical connections. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. Check Power Supply: Ensure that the power supply to the control panel is stable and consistent. Make sure the power source is providing the correct voltage and that there are no loose or faulty connections.
2. Inspect Wiring Connections: Verify that all wiring connections to the control panel are secure and properly connected. Loose or damaged wiring can cause intermittent issues with the indicator lights.
3. Clean and Inspect Control Panel: Check the control panel for any signs of dirt, debris, or corrosion. Clean the control panel and its components using a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Inspect for any visible damage or loose components.
4. Test Indicator Lights: While the pool is running, observe the control panel and try to identify any patterns or triggers that may cause the indicator lights to come on. Gently tap on the control panel to see if it affects the lights. This could indicate a loose connection or a faulty component within the control panel.
5. Consult a Professional: If the issue persists or you are unable to identify the cause of the inconsistent indicator lights, it is recommended to contact a professional pool technician or the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They will have the expertise to diagnose and resolve the specific issue with your pool control system.
Remember, working with electrical components requires caution. If you are not experienced or comfortable working with electrical systems, it is best to seek professional help to avoid any potential safety hazards.

How to replace wheel tubes on aquabot bravo III
To replace the wheel tubes on an Aquabot Bravo III robotic pool cleaner, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Pool Cleaner: Turn off the power to the pool cleaner and remove it from the water. Place it on a flat surface, such as a table or workbench, for easier access to the wheels.
2. Remove the Wheels: Locate the wheels that need the tube replacement. The Bravo III usually has four wheels, two on each side. Each wheel has a hubcap covering the axle. Use a flathead screwdriver or your fingers to pry off the hubcap from each wheel.
3. Remove the Wheel Tubes: After removing the hubcap, you will see the wheel tube inside. Carefully pull the wheel tube out of the wheel assembly. You may need to twist and wiggle it gently to loosen it. If the tube is damaged or worn, it should come out easily.
4. Insert the New Wheel Tubes: Take the replacement wheel tubes and insert them into the wheel assembly. Make sure they are properly aligned and seated securely.
5. Replace the Hubcaps: Once the new wheel tubes are in place, put the hubcaps back onto the wheels. Press them firmly until they snap into place, ensuring they cover the axle and wheel tube.
6. Repeat for other Wheels: If you need to replace the tubes on multiple wheels, repeat the process for each wheel that requires a replacement.
7. Test the Pool Cleaner: Once all the wheel tubes are replaced and the hubcaps are securely in place, place the Aquabot Bravo III back into the water and test its operation. Ensure that the wheels are turning smoothly and that the pool cleaner is functioning properly.
Note: It's recommended to refer to the specific user manual for your Aquabot Bravo III pool cleaner for detailed instructions and illustrations on how to replace the wheel tubes. The manual will provide you with any additional information or precautions specific to your model.

My Saltwater system report a code 93 and beeping 24 hours
See page 18 of the saltwater instruction guide ... 93 means it is on stand-by, power saving mode. Nothing is wrong, it's just waiting for the timer to tell it to turn back on automatically. If you want the system to be on right now, just turn the power switch off, wait a couple seconds and turn it back on.
