Found it at the 90 coming up to my valves, easy fix, the glue failed at the joint.

I'm looking for informed suggestions for a new pump, calculators show huge savings for variable speed pumps. I have a 16 year old Sta-Rite, 2hp single speed Dyna Wave pump with 2" inlets. Pump is level with top of pool and runs are 50' to 60'. Main drain, 2 skimmers, and 3 returns. 16'x32'...

I've had a significant leak, about 1/2 an inch of water a day in my 16' x 32' pool. I built a pressure tester and found the center, 1 of 3, return line leaking. It's a major leak as the hose shows no pressure when my hose is full open at about 1.6 gal per minute. Years ago I moved the pump...

Have a SWG and I didn't see any corrosion when the old liner was removed, but don't want to reduce the life of the pool. I've used the SWG for about 5 years and I love it, the pool is always clear. I have noticed some corrosion on my pool light cover and diving board. I was concerned when my...

Just had my liner replaced and the builder recommended not using a salt system as the walls are steel and he has had to repair too many walls due to corrosion. It makes sense to me, though I have loved the low maintenance. Anyone had a problem with corrosion?

My unit fired up and was working fine until.... I went out today and the display was blank. I shut off the cb and opended it up to find mice had built a nest in the wiring box and chewed all the wires shorting out the circuit. I tried just cutting and splicing the wire, but it's still dead...

Sorry for the unanswered questions, I got a new computer and haven't logged in for a long time. I replaced the coverstar ropes at the beginning of last season in May 2010 and the cheap 3/8" yellow polypropolene rope is still working fine. As a reminder, the reel pulls the cover off, and the...

You know I did not think of it. That's probably it, I'll pull on some bristles and see if some come out, Thanks!

I have white plastic fibers in my skimmer socks, I'm wondering if it could be from my impeller deteriorating. I can't think of anything else it could come from. I have a cartridge filter. I have a picture, but can't seem to add it.

I took pictures of the process, but it will take a day or two to put it together. I have the toprail. The rope has 3" webbing sewn to the end where it attaches to the front of the cover by 3 or 4 nuts bolted to a plate. Remove the plate and detach the rope. Then remove the pully at the far...
