    Repair bottom stitching on FNS Plus filter grid?

    I have your exact same problem. the seams on my 5 year old grids are mostly “un-sewn”. I was thinking of using a hot glue gun myself ! Did it hold up over time ?

    Deconstructing an old pool light.

    The previous owner put in a non stainless steel bulb and me removing it wrecked the bulb holder. Can I “dig” into the plasticy area under it and find 2 wires that I can solder wires to-to make my own LED light arrangement ? Thanks in advance ! Greg

    Surgical options for broken light-AGP

    I was filling the pool yesterday-so its under water now. I think I'll probably try to solder a little bulb onto the tiny bits left before I risk pulling the wire-and the water is way to cold to get into, now, anyway. I wonder what the odds are of having the conduit leak after man-handling the...

    Surgical options for broken light-AGP

    The non-pool rated bulb a previous owner had in the socket was a rusty mess, and broke all apart when I removed it-as I figured it would. Has anyone ever managed to use the two tiny electrical "nubs" left and soldered in a new socket for a modern bulb. I am afraid to pull the wire from the...

    Bad pool pump ?

    Bad pool pump ?

    Thank you SacPoolPros-it is locked up ! I didn't even think to try to turn it-since the last once a year time it was locked up, I had a humming sound. I wasn't even able to turn the impeller with a rubber stretch wrench, so I'm disassembling it now, according to directions found on YouTube...

    Bad pool pump ?

    I just opened my pool today and when I went to start up my Hayward SP2607x10 pump and my A O Smith 1HP motor model C48K2N143B1 motor set at 230 volts, did a flash at the rear of the motor and tripped both breakers. I checked all three wires going into the motor and don't have continuity between...

    I found a ton of reviews for a different brand on amazon.com, after being amazed they weren't mentioned anywhere in this forum.
