    Eyeball Diverter Question

    Hi guys — just bought a house with a pool and noticed that two of the jets on the pool wall are missing the little piece inside to direct the water flow. Is it possible to just replace that piece or do I have to buy and install a new jet? I have no idea what kind of jets they are, we didn't get...

    Kreepy Krauly Classic Hose Tangled/Coiled

    Thanks for such a detailed answer. I agree, I need to mess with the return flow. I've noticed that two of the jets in my pool are missing the little piece inside the hole that direct the water flow (only one has a little eyeball-type plastic piece that swivels to direct the flow). Is it possible...

    Magnum Force Pump Losing Pressure

    Hi all — I am new to taking care of and owning a pool so I'm learning as I go. Recently, I was able to pry the top off the Jacuzzi Magnum Force 1HP pump to clean out the filter basket inside. I dumped a bucket of pool water in, screwed the top on and started the pool. It works and runs fine when...

    Kreepy Krauly Classic Hose Tangled/Coiled

    @smforte — I do use the weights that came with my Kreepy Krauly. According to the manual, you add weights based on the depth of your pool and since mine isn't any deeper than 7' I only need two. I also think the balance is correct because when the KK sits on the pool floor, it's at a 45 degree...

    Kreepy Krauly Classic Hose Tangled/Coiled

    Hi Dave, The hose doesn't have any swivels in them. There's only a swivel cone & bearing that's attached to the top of the Kreepy Krauly — the rest of the hose is just male/female connections.

    Kreepy Krauly Classic Hose Tangled/Coiled

    Hi all — just bought a used Kreepy Krauly Classic (about 4 years old, not the newest model they released) and bought all new hose for it. For some reason, the hose keeps getting tangled/coiled/cork-screwed when it makes it's laps around the pool. I have a very long, lap-like pool (one, long...

    Removing filter basket on Jacuzzi Magnum Force Pump Help!

    Thank you! Glad to be here! And no, there isn't really any good way to grip it. Doesn't have any handles or anything that stick out — you're just supposed to be able to twist it counterclockwise and unscrew it off.

    Removing filter basket on Jacuzzi Magnum Force Pump Help!

    No, it definitely doesn't! No handles that stick out on it or anything. You're supposed to just be able to twist it counterclockwise to unscrew it but this thing won't even budge. Not sure if trying to apply lubricant would help...

    Removing filter basket on Jacuzzi Magnum Force Pump Help!

    Hi there! So I'm new to owning a pool (just purchased a house with one!) and learning how to take care of it but I'm having a problem with the pump filter basket on the Jacuzzi Magnum Force. I'm not sure if the owners before us ever took this thing off and cleaned it because it is seriously...
