I have a kayak pool with a deep end and I’m looking for an automatic or rechargeable pool cleaner for it. I had a pool blaster but it just died after 4 yrs. is their anything better to use or should I pick up another pool blaster.

Has anyone heard of a blue torrent 2 speed pump ? I found one at my local pool store but I've never heard of that brand. It's 2 speed 120v dont want to buy junk.

I have 120v to the pump panel. I see they have two speed motors that run on 120v are these also good at saving energy/$ ? Usually 220 is the way to go but I am not interested in changing any wiring. Mainly looking for something quite

I have a 16x24 kayak pool with a cartridge style filter system. The motor finally quite. I'm looking for recommendations for a new pump and motor setup to replace it. Looking for something quite and wondering what's the best HP motor to run. I have 1 skimmer 1 return 1 main drain in the deep end...

So I just pulled out the cartridge and noticed a date stamp on it from April of 2000. Wow that means this is the original filter the pool came with. Surprised I never noticed this stamp last season. Maybe that's half the problem. From what I've read this cartridge should've been replaced several...

Thanks for all the advice and info everyone. Mandtra that's a very good ?

Ok I have that same valve on the other side as well because I have the skimmer plus a bottom drain in the deep end. I'm currently running 120v to my pump. Do the two speeds just have a switch on the side ? Are they usually 120 ? last year was the 1st year I've ever had a pool. Just had bought...

So I'm trying to change out my filter and pump. I currently have a cartridge style but I'm not a big fan of it. I would like to switch to a DE system and I'm thinking of the Hayward EC50. I have a single speed motor now but was thinking of switching to a 2sp. So I went to the local pool store...

Wondering what's the best and easiest pool light to install in an above ground pool. Really don't want to cut or drill any holes. Are there more options?

So I'm getting ready for my 2nd year with my pool. Last year was the 1st year I've ever had a pool. I have a 20yr old Kayak 16x24 above ground pool that has a deep end. The pool is still in great shape but the cartridge filter setup is showing signs of wear. Not really a fan of the cartridge...

It did hold FC over night and my CC was .5 and I actually forgot that I did drain a bunch of water out to repair a leak at the return fitting so that's probably were I lost my CYA. I will post pics soon.

CYA strarted at around 30 and went up to 50 than back down to 30 then 20. This was over a 4 week period of slamming the pool. It was closed for years and the water was black.

So I'm done slamming my pool water looks Great Wall and floors are clean. I started letting everything drift down Wednesday morning and just tested the water now. I noticed my CYA dropped to zero is that normal ? FC 7.5 cya 0 cc .5 ph 6.8 cl 5 ta 50 my wife and I really didn't think it was...

The water seems to have a green tint but if I fill a bucket it's clear. I've been scrubbing the walls like crazy for weeks. I recently found out from a neighbor that the pool hasn't been opened for several seasons so I'm sure the algae was growing like crazy. It does look MUCH better than it did...

It looks like the floors have some brown/green on them in certain areas
