It is just a pvc pipe.

Hi there, When opening my pool I realized that the skimmer to my pool was not sucking - we are talking 0 suction, nada. I assumed I had a clogged line. I confirmed this by closing off the valve to the main drain so it was not pulling water, and sure enough there was no water being...

I will try to give detail while being brief - I replaced my hayward superpump 1.5 hp two years ago. This year I go to use it and it hums and then shuts off. I reach in and my impeller will not turn. I remove the motor from the pump housing to check the impeller and it is not clogged at all. I...

Bump. It seems the UST 1102 will work? Any advice before I order from amazon?

Hey guys, I have a stupid questions, does the super pump use a round or square flange motor. I cannot tell, because the plate it attaches to is square and am functionally stupid when it comes to handyman issues ... The two A.O Smith replacements I found online are both round flange is...

I am assuming the pump part plastic housing is fine. Do you think if i just stick with a super pump all that jazz will match up? Thanks for the advice about the impeller, I did not know that.

aha, i didn't know if the "wet end" would work with any motor or not

I currently have a (dead) Hayward 1 1/2 horsepower super pump. Would it be easier and cheaper just to stick with another hayward to keep from having to buy plumbing and etc.? or can I bolt any old motor to our current pump housing?

Hey guys I was sitting outside when my pump started whining. I went to check on it and smoke was coming out of it :(. If it cannot be repaired I was wondering what size pump I should get to replace it. My pool details are in my sig. Thanks!!

My pool was a swamp since i didn't shut it down last year. The Cya and leaves made tons of ammonia in my water, I have used 40 gallons ( @ $2.97 per gallon for 1.42 gallon bottles) and it isn't done shocking yet!!! I can finally see the bottom of my pool though and it's almost done shocking, I...

Thanks for the help. I like to learn, but I also like to be told I'm doing it right!

Well, my first set of numbers is in FC 0 TC 2 PH 7.6 ALK 140 CH 80 CYA 40 Since my TC is higher than my FC and my water is cloudy I am shocking at 16ppm (based on my CYA reading of 40) until my water holds overnight with less than 1ppm FC loss. I have already lost some chlorine since...

Went and bought borax and bleach. I decided to shock tonite and add borax in the morning before work. TC and FC both holding at 10ppm per strips and OTO. How on earth did 21 gallons worth of bleach chlorine disappear in two hours????? What is the best way to add the pool calculator...

Thanks, man! I got an email today saying it shipped today and will be here between today and Wed. I tested my water using strips and the OTO method. I am showing no FC or TC using either method. I even diluted the water 1:1 and tried and still got 0 chlorine. I diluted all the way to 1...

Thanks, I was about to run out and add borax and stabilizer after work. I will try that test first. Thanks for creating the Pool Calc app also. It is a lifesaver!
