Give poolcoversdirect.com a call Or email. They were very helpful when I had questions on replacing my cover. I haven’t yet but they will get first crack at my business when I am ready.

Muriatic Acid is hard to find this year In my area. I can drive to a lowes 10 miles away but then I remembered there Is a pool store .25 miles from my house. It’s in a plaza with Chik filet so Sunday is a good day to go. $12 a gallon, but so close to my house, Lowes is $20 for two gallons...

The members on this site are the most willing and helpful people on any forums I’ve been on. My pool has been easy peasy and crystal clear since the day I joined this site and have learned so much.

Hi DIY, I'll share my experience (I'm just a pool hobby guy because of TFP...LOL...otherwise I would be SOL). My two-speed pump developed a shaft leak, and despite being in worse condition than anticipated, I managed to rebuild it. I replaced the bearings and seals, but also had to deal with...

It appears that I have a similar problem, pretty sure I could see the location where the corrugated pipe has been crushed using a borescope. This skimmer still works to some extent despite the damage. At present, I have decided to tolerate this issue and I don't think it leaks. I suspect that...

My first ideal technique was a 3d printed water collector I bought on amazon for $11 in 2018. This actually worked very well for a few years, then the shape and bottles got more difficult to align and the device finally broke. One of the best $11 I spent on my pool. Fast forward to this...

I found the seal replacement kit, but now I am stuck trying to find the bearings, much tricker than I imagined it would be. Using my Nancy Drew mystery skills the best I can come up with is searching for 6203-2RS bearings and found a few hits on Amazon. Anyone know what bearings I need for...

Thanks James, I’ll add a seal kit to my shopping list. Hopefully that will let me get a few more years out of this pump. One last question for now, will I need to get a bearing puller for that task? thanks again for responding poolman and James!

Thanks! Will look into replacing the bearings.

Hello TFP, just got back from FL and hope everyone is safe down there! When I got back, my pool pump is screaming, thinking it is the bearings? I checked it for any blockage and can freely hand turn the pump with the basket out. Anything else I should check? It's a Jandy two speed Century...

I’m just curious, what work did you pay the contractor to do? Hard to know what sub par work is without knowing what they were suppose to do. edit: sorry I see you posted twice more …disregard my post…I got nothing since it is not a renovation which I have experienced.

Hello John, the knowledge the very kind folks here will share makes having a pool so much fun. Congrats! Cant find a better place to learn about pools!
