Re: In Stock Pool Supply (Santa Ana, CA) .. Cheap, but hones Near the top, right corner of their web page is a header saying they are BBB accredited. If they are, they should show up in a search of the BBB database.

Re: Hayward 6060 booster pump - replace seal or bearings ... I recently replaced the seal in my 6060 booster pump with one from U.S. Seals. The part number is PS-200 and it works fine. I didn't have to do the bearings, so I can't help you there.

Does the level drop if the pump is off?

Wow, that's a bunch of pipes! Glad the expansion coupling worked, but I like the four 90's tip too!

Is there enough room for an expansion coupling? This YouTube video shows how to install one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=so9XZS0aD1s#!

Is it this one? http://www.poolpartsonline.com/p-176-pentair-hi-flow-2in-multiport-valve-parts.aspx Scroll down and click on the picture of the valve top assembly.

The shaft seal has two parts. The white ceramic seal presses into the pump body, but does not touch the motor shaft. The other half is the spring loaded carbon seal and it is installed behind impeller with the carbon face against the white ceramic seal. It slides on to and seals against the...

I have the same filter and replaced the motor on my super pump with a two-speed motor about three years ago. My basket lid also squirts when the motor goes to low speed -- at this point I consider it normal. My automation is set up such that it goes from high to low once per day. The only...

I think the part number is GLX-CELL-UNION

I use the coarse crystal solar salt from Home Depot or Lowes. Look for the solid blue bag -- no additives, just 99.6% salt. You can search this site (go to the bottom left of this page) regarding the salt, there are a number of conversations about it. Dump the bags in the pool and give them a...

Congrats! There is an article on SWG water balance in the pool school that has some good info in it. Be sure to turn the SWG off when you add the salt and while the salt and water are mixing (overnight I think).

Our pool is on a hill. The dig was deep enough such that the pool was fully in the ground on the low side of the hill and long enough to have a retaining wall on the high side of the hill.

Our pool and SWG are four years old and I have not had any rust or corrosion problems. We have a concrete pool deck, so I have no experience with how pavers hold up to the salt water that gets splashed out. From what I've read here, it costs about the same in the long run whether you go with...

I am not familiar with your SWG, but they do have a website that might help. Here is the link: http://www.resiliencepool.com/technical/manuals/psc-3/ They show some details about the flow sensor. Hope you get it working!

1. Consider adding a union in the waste line close to the multi-port valve. It will make it easier to remove the MPV when the time comes to service the filter. 2. Are the check valves necessary? Especially the one at the suction of the pump. I am not an expert, just asking... 3. I agree with...
