Wow...this link helped! thanks a lot!!!

OK I think I understand...it definitely sounds like I cut it wrong. If I can describe it correctly, the reel is attaching to the cover on the end, the end where it curves. I cut the cover from the wide end, eventually narrowing to the curved in. I was only able to attach about 6 clips to that...

When you say put the straps on toward the middle, do you mean toward the middle of the cover? So it sounds like I cut it wrong...the pool is oval shaped and has a cutout for a seat. so I cut the cover so it lays on the water, but it sounds like on the end where it attaches to the reel, I...

Hello! I just brought a solar reel. I've had a solar blanket for sometime, but just kept it tucked away in the yard since it was such a pain to put on. I'm not sure if I attached it to the reel correctly, as it is VERY difficult to roll on. Am I supposed to cut the cover to fit on top of the...

LOL!!! Right, when they are trimming the grass...I probably should have thought of talking to them first but I thought it couldnt' be helped. As far as the birds, it seems like as they walk from the gravel to the pool, they track 1 or 2 stones (I have a problem with pigeons unfortunately). The...

Hello, Does anyone have any suggestions in regards to this? My Pool vac ultra keeps getting stuck. I have gravel on the other side of the pool but the landscapers and birds help make those deposits back into the pool :) Has this happened to anyone? Thanks!

Hey Adam, yes, you guessed correctly about the blue valve. the Red ball valve I have not tried to turn, from what I remember I was unable to turn it by hand, so maybe I do need a wrench for it. When I first moved here I didn't know anything about pools and the pool was in such bad shape I was...

Hey Adam, I took pictures this evening, it was raining unfortunately but hopefully these will give a good idea on what I have, and what they old plumbing looks like. Thanks a lot for your help!

Really? I have been thinking a lot about it but it looks a little scary LOL. How would I determine what kind of valves to buy, would I just need 1 Jandy 3-way? The plan part is probably what will throw me. Any advice on the planning would be great! :)

I'm located in AZ. I'm glad to hear it's pretty typical, it's so hard to know for sure.

Thanks very much for the advice! i'm starting to picture the extra runs now, so that I have at least a little bit of "future proof-ness" I don't think the plumbing has a problem per se, except that it's old. I know for a fact the gate valve doesn't work, or works very poorly because it takes...

Hello, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to replace the plumbing at the equipment pad. I've lived in the house for about 2 years and the pool was neglected for a long time. I had some work done last year too so i'm wondering if I should have this done. Right now, I just have a sand filter and...
