    Sand Filter & Multiport Replacement

    I had to Google Rube Goldberg before I found the hilarity in that sentence. For the record I only repiped the suction side of that setup and I cannot figure out why there are so many couplers between the pump and the filter. Unfortunately this is right out of the playbook of the previous...

    Sand Filter & Multiport Replacement

    Here’s all my ugliness. I’d like to take a sawzall to the whole shed and build a different enclosure but time is an issue. The breaker box is also an issue I’m not sure what to do with. I had an air leak at the ball valve last year and I cut them out and replaced them with the Hayward diverter...

    Sand Filter & Multiport Replacement

    Kind of like those before & after photos. “Before” has bad lighting, colors toned down, no makeup, hair is so so. “After” pops with color, makeup, bright lights & salon hair, oh and evidence of that thing they’re trying to sell.

    Sand Filter & Multiport Replacement

    Just closed the pool a few days ago. It took forever waiting for the water temp to get under 50 degrees. The sand filter has been in use for around 20 years. I estimated based on the manufacture date for the serial number. Based on how fast debris settles on the bottom of the pool I've...

    Step Rail Replacement Part

    Hello Friends, Any idea where I can find or even begin to look for one of these dewhickeys? It locks the step rail in place and one of them was missing when we bought the house. TIA.

    4) Don't be a stupid like me and add garden grade DE before learning that it's not the same thing. OOPS
