I have seen variations of my question on here, but I need help with fix. I have a Hayward Pro-Grid DE filter. When the pump is running, I can walk to the front yard and hear the water escaping through the backwash line. I have been told that I need to replace the "bottom O-ring" and that it is...

Had to partially drain SWG pool to remove and replace lights that had stripped screws. That is done! But the pool has sat still for a few days and now has algae - that I suspect got started when I let FC / TAC get to zero. I have to first replace the DE powder lost in the drain process. Then...

At some point over the winter, not at the same time I believe, both my spa light and my pool light went out. We replaced the bulb in the spa light, but no go. When I switch each light on individually, the GFCI gets tripped. My pool friend says this means most likely water got into the lights...

Whoops! I backwashed my filter this afternoon. Then put 6 lbs of DE in the near skimmer with the pump on. Then turned it off cause I noticed the returns were not returning water to the pool. That is when I discovered that I had left the handle in the backwash position. So, did I basically...

See photos here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... 4366039fd8 I have ice building up at my returns (IG pool) AND a lot of ice on my filter. Do I need to be concerned or do anything? I recently had the top of the filter replaced because of a leak - doesn't appear the leak was...

We got our first electric bill in our new house. It was double what my conservative spouse estimated. Wondering how much of that we can contribute to running the pool pump 10 - 12 hours per day? What can we do from a pool perspective to cut power usage? When I replace the pump and or just the...

Dallas Metro area pool owners out there? My spouse asked me if I know how to "winterize" our pool and I told him "no". So I have a few questions. 1. My Hayward heater has a set point for pool and spa set at 64 degrees. I imagine that means that if the water temp dips below that, the heater...

My pool was originally a SWCG. When I bought it was being maintained with lots of Chlorine and Shock to sell the house. I replaced the mother board on the Aqua-Rite system (okay I hired someone to do this). The cell was still in good shape and approx 1 year old. My numbers look pretty good to...

Hello to all! I already posted in the pumping station (my current challenge) and look forward to posting photos in backyard oasis ( where do I post for landscaping?). We are new to pool ownership. Just moved to TX from KS. From Google Earth looks like EVERYONE has a pool. So I thought - how hard...

I'm new to pool ownership with purchase of a 7 year old house with IG pool in August 2009. History on the pool and previous owners is sketchy at best since house was what we call the Big "F" house. "F" for "Foreclosure". I purchased a Home Warranty plan that covers the heating, pumping and...
