I have had a CGFI breaker go bad before. You could try to replace that first. Mine was only $30 from Lowes

I have a Jandy Colors light, the 120V Halogen one (I think, there is not an external transformer). There are only 4 of the 8 lights working. I was going to replace them, but I thought it might be better to replace the Halogen bulbs with LEDs. Has anyone done this? As far as I can see with the...

I have 8 or so feral cats, that my neighbor feeds. I usually don't mind them, they seem to keep the mice away. This winter i noticed that they were climbing into my pool through a gap between my safety cover and waterfall. The snow just melted and the pool is not frozen, and they are still going...

I have a 25K Gal In ground Pool in South East Pa. I currently have propane for my furnace, Hot Water Heater, Stove/Burners, and 13Kw Backup Gen. I have a 500 gal underground tank, and could get the gas to my pad where the pool heater would go. I talked to the guy at the pool store and he said...

I have a black mesh cover that seems to do it's job. Last year I opened to pretty clear water. I did get a lot of leaves in through the gap between the safety cover and the waterfall. Is there something I can shove in there to help keep the leaves out? - - - Updated - - - The length of the...

Liquid Chlorine will degrade while stored. If you start with 12.5 it will probably be closer to 6% by next spring

Blower is caller "Silencer Air Blower" It is 2 Hp 240 V 5 amps. It lists Open flow at 105 CFM, and Sealed Pressure at 130" H2O

Has anyone ever used their spa blower to blow out their lines for their main drains and lower (below the winter water line returns)?

The only issue I might have is with my Hayward chloranator ( I know you guys hate these, but I have to travel too much, and use bleach when I am home.). When my water drains back to the pool my chloranator will drain too? Will it recover when the pool pump starts up? I can't see what goes on...

My pump looses prime overnight. It is about 10' higher than the pool, and i notice that the basket empties out when the pump shuts down for the night. It always re-primes on it's own and has protection if it wouldn't, I just worry that this is a problem. I do not have any check valves, and the...

The cracking effect went away with some brushing and the line on the sides is fading as well, The kids went in for the 1st time on Monday. It was a bit cold (68) but they didn't care

you can see the cracks are only on the top step that was out of the water for the winter

I have been brushing with my pole brush, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. It is a pretty good reach and The cl level is a bit high for me to reach down. The line that is left is about 16 in from the bottom of the tiles, where the water line was for winter I will get pictures soon
