    Pump maintenance

    Don't have an answer for you unfortunately but the same thing happened to me last summer with our pump, replacing the capacitor did not fix the problem. Loved having to buy a new pump 3 days before going on vacation

    Above ground pool install

    I had the same issue with my sharkline due to poor packaging from the manufacturer, PSW was fantastic and handled the RMA very quickly Good luck with the rest of your build

    Bad weather pool depression?

    It's Mr Murphy 's law at its best. We put up our pool last summer during a crazy high heat streak then once we were able to swim we had an early fall. If nothing it's taught us that if the weather is nice get in the pool because you don't know with the weird weather.

    Bulge at bottom of wall

    I have a Matrix 24 that I installed last summer and I have a oddity that I can't explain. Along the bottom rail of the last upright before the seam there is a bulge that is pushing on the upright. The wall is seated in the rails at the top and the bottom and all the pieces seem to be where they...

    replace matrix up rights after pool install

    Well the first thing I would do is get on the phone with PSW and find out what the delay is with the RMA department. We installed our Matrix last summer and had a couple of base cuffs arrive damaged, PSW was fantastic and got me the replacement pieces within 72 hours. I'm going to defer to...
