I have a PVC membrane liner on a salt system. When I recently added more salt to the shallow end of the pool, it stained the bottom of the liner. I don't know if this is because the alkalinity was a little low at the time or there was dirt there before the salt was dumped in or what. If anyone...

l travel frequently and I’m looking for a solution to remotely backwash the system to remove water from the pool after heavy rains while I’m not in town. I already can remotely add water for evaporation. Any ideas?

Some of y'all had seen my leak thread a couple of months ago. The leak was detected, but it was too cold to repair at the time. That didn't seem to matter, since the water table rose from flooding and floated the bottom of my pool liner, which subsequently caused it to crack. At that point, we...

Since the leak issue, the last couple days we’ve Had heavy rains and rapidly changing temperatures. The liner now is pulled from the wall in the shallow end and some wrinkles on the bottom. Can this be remedied or am I totally screwed? I think I see a small tear on the seam in the shallow end...

I filled the pool level to halfway on the skimmer to where it's supposed to be. In a couple hours it lost over an inch and started sucking air into the skimmer. I shut the pump off and checked the connections. There aren't any leaks on the equipment pad so the plumbing connections are fine at...

I heard the pump choking this morning. Went to check and the pool lost just under 2” overnight. It was about 34 degrees here with very hind winds overnight. Does that combination sound plausible? I hope im not dealing with a leak after having to replace my robot last week and either the...

Pentair denied my rebate submission for a pump, claiming that it had to be installed by a professional to get the rebate. Nowhere on Pentair's rebate site or the distributor I purchased from had that exclusion. It's there for warranty period limitation, but not for rebate. Anyone else...

I had a Hayward Quietflo RS single speed 1.5hp pump. I don't know why it was called Quietflo anyway since it was loud. I replaced in with a Sta-Rite SuperMax VS variable speed 1.5 hp pump. I have suction. Pump tuns great. The only thing I notice is that the DE filter has 2 psi less than before...

My single speed Hayward Quietflo motor finally has gone out. Instead of replacing it, I opted to order a Sta-rite SuperMax VS. the SuperMax is a multi speed pump with a built in controller. Will my new pump work with my freeze guard? Will I be forced to turn on the pump manually if there's a...

Hey y'all. I hope someone has some insight for me as to why my mounting ring for my pool light is rusting. In February, I changed the old broken 300w 120v light to a 12v Pentair Amerlite. The light's trim ring is fine, but for some reason the mounting ring is now rusting. Anyone know why?

Hey y'all. I'm new to the forum and already got some fantastic help in another thread from a local Dallasite. We purchased our home in the middle of pool season last year so this is our first full season. Already been enjoying the water. The pool is an in-ground vinyl liner 48500 gal. It...

Hey y'all. I'm new to this forum. Last year we purchased this home in the middle of pool season and it was being maintained by a pool service. The pool is an in-ground vinyl liner 36x18 with diving well (unsure of volume). It has a 1.5 hp Hayward Century pump and Pentair FNS Plus 60 Sq ft. DE...
