So I guess I'm kinda stupid. Upon closer inspection, the black pipe is like my pool line, but has a yellow gas line inside of it. I still can't quite see what size the line is, so will have to get more into it this weekend. I guess the good news is that if I need to pull a larger size pipe, I...

Here is the pic. Think its 1.5" looks to be the same size as the return lines from my pool. Will that be enough?

Here is a pic of the gas line coming in. Looks like at least an inch -1.5 " black pipe, tappered down to maybe .5" or .75" going into the heater. Is this sufficient?

Approx. 40 ft or so

Not sure on how large of a supply pipe I have now. How big would I need for a 400k heater? Thanks

I am in need of a new heater. Mine never fired last year, but we were lucky to have a warm summer and never needed it. My pool is a 20x40 igp, with around 35,000 gal, and I do use a solar blanket. I live in Michigan, so could use the extra help when pool drops below desired temps. My current...

This is a year old thread that I let go last year. I checked the previous suggestions and those seem to be fine. If I want to just replace this with a new light set up, can that be done? I am a pretty handy guy, can I handle it DIY? What kinds of price would I be looking to install a new...

I'll give that a try. Thanks

I have been a little confused by it, since the pump is a vs it goes up and down with the speed. Old 1 hp pump it ran around 20 psi right now I have the pump on 2000 rpm and it is at 10 psi. At 3300 it jumps to 25 psi

No one has been in the pool yet, I vacuumed Saturday, put the cover on, came back today and uncovered to find a good amount of sand. Maybe my closing practice is bad. No new sand added since the filter install last summer. I did just install a Superflo vs pump last week. Any chance the...

Trying to get my pool in order and I am getting a enough sand blown back in the pool to make it very noticeable on the bottom of the pool. It is a Hayward sand filter and was just installed last July. Could it be a broken lateral or more? Or could there be a simpler explaination do to my...

I probably could have drill and tapped it, but I was in a yank and don't really have that skill set. My buddy was able to weld enough to get the bolt in and I put JB weld all over the place. It is holding just fine right now, but might still need to figure out a more permanent fix. Again...

There is nothing left on the inside to be able to screw into. Maybe a rubber plug that twist from the outside?

I was opening the pool last weekend and the heater plugs and opening are badly rusted and one completely stripped. Right now I am unable to run my system because it is not plugged. I would like to just get through the summer with the heater and replace next spring. My buddy tried to weld it...
