    Pentair 10 hole sealing ring replacement.

    Thanks James and yes kimkats I need to replace that inside ring sometime. The rest of the parts....light, and the niche itself is in good shape.

    Pentair 10 hole sealing ring replacement.

    Question..........don't the screws go through the wall and screw into the niche? If so what keeps the niche from out of alignment? This ring is junk in my setup I guess because of poor quality, everything else looks brand new after 9 years. 12k IG Fiberglass, Pentair Intelliflo, Intellichlor...

    Located leak at skimmer (after pressure and dye tests) - Ideas on best repair method?

    It's like play dough. Cures under water and it's all you need. You can make it look a little better with a dry setup but wet works fine too. I used it on my light and skimmer. My skimmer pipe is about broke off and I have it holding there on that skimmer pipe for 8 years now. 12k IG Fiberglass...

    Seasoned pool owner, still learning new tricks

    Curious about how do you filter. I have trees on my south side owned by my neighbor so nothing I can do about it. I switched from sand to de quad this year and has made a difference in how clear my water is. I wish I would've put in a bigger filter but it's doing the job. I have to clean the...

    Pentair Rebate Denial

    Makes no sense to me. I could see a battle over who installed as far as the warranty goes but what difference does it make for a rebate!!! Besides that lets say you buy a motor that's a replacement for the original motor meaning plumbing and wiring is already there and all you do is hook it up...

    Laminars and variable speed pump issue.

    Well I have to ask did it do that with the old pump? Sometimes I think depending on pump HP you can get weird things happening like that. Reason I say that I know I'm oversized as far as my pump goes and because of that and the way the return water is plumped my deck jets will surge out with...

    Leaky pipe fix = broken pipe in pump. Help!!

    My first thought is strong blade. Try to cut it loose. Take a hacksaw blade and carefully cut a slit it it. However you do it doesn't matter and you won't have to cut all the way thru the wall of what's left. Then small hammer and a punch to cause the slit to open up and unscrew it out. You can...

    Skimmer door question

    Ive noticed on mine that due to winter cold and summer extreme heat the area where the door is changes. It gets smaller or egg shaped. Like previous mentioned shave off some width from the door and you'll be fine.

    Bad for pools

    Pretty frustrating and makes you like to start all over again. This spring I called my local pool store that's sells to all the locals and asked if they had any Taylor K2006 kits and they responded "Never heard of it". ?
