Hi y'all, I am finally getting around to replacing the sand in my filter, however I realized that I have no idea how much sand to put in as I don't know which model I have. The filter itself bakes directly in the central Texas afternoon sun so virtually all words/numbers on it are too faded to...

Hey all, ok this is a long one but am really perplexed what is going on with my pool, hoping someone here may have a suggestion where to begin to address it...or if I should bite the bullet and call in a pro. Recently I have noticed that there is something odd going on with the pressure in the...

Hello, hoping someone here may be able to point me in the right direction. I have a Polaris 280 that stopped moving a couple weeks ago, but after some tinkering I got it to move again. Problem now is it moves very slowly and the water pressure is very low that come out of it, in fact so low...
