    Does the filter head connect directly to the standpipe?

    Yes exactly, No access to knock it out from the top at all so looks like I'll be trying to cut the pipe out gently. Trying to twist it with pliers was just eating into very brittle pipe so if I'm lucky, maybe breaking it in place could produce a crack upwards. Thanks for the encouragement.

    Does the filter head connect directly to the standpipe?

    So pretty sure you're right but impossible to get out given the 1/2"-3/4" grip I have left on it. Also im able to feel the end of the pipe with my finger in it, unfortunately seems to have slightly taken the shape of something in the head and deformed the pipe at two spots ( like keyed on...

    Does the filter head connect directly to the standpipe?

    That makes a lot of sense, I had assumed it was just glued there but never thought that it could have been pushed up. It's clear in the parts breakdown that it's another part, thanks, I'll go check

    Does the filter head connect directly to the standpipe?

    So I've run into a bit of an issue. while deep cleaning my sand filter I got the bright idea of changing it's position slightly by rolling it as I didn't want a ton of water by my house running down the foundation. Doing so made the sand shift and actually raise the standpipe to where the valve...

    Is my pump completely dead, half dead, or...?

    The breaker switch toggles like a standard breaker would.

    Is my pump completely dead, half dead, or...?

    Well the wet ens seems in perfect shape, I've never noticed a drop around the pad. I'll definitely get on a good cleaning of it to see if there may some built up pollen, etc.. As for the breaker, I think it's of the gfci type, it has a yellow push to test button on it. If it's at the main panel...

    Is my pump completely dead, half dead, or...?

    I have a Sta-Rite SuperMax VS pump that has been great for about 8-9 years until about a month ago ( mid-late August ). After a very hot summer our pump started tripping the main panel breaker. It would trip a few hours into the daily cycle and as long as I reset the tripped breaker in the...

    Should a robot clean the whole pool?

    I would usually just throw the old unit I had in once a week and it would clean everything. I'm seeing that I now have to clean a bit more often so that what it leaves behind doesn't bother me as much and it'll get it next time. Not great but not worth stressing over either. Could my pool...

    New water fill in vinyl liner pool

    WOW! exactly the thread I needed now. Not to hijack but to compliment. Assuming the exact pool or a bit bigger (as sig.) and fill time was about 5-7 days on hot weather, but with SWG. What do you add as the pool is filling for it not to turn green on its way to full? SWG can't be started till...
