I'm needing to replace the hose between my pump and my filter. I plan to replace the 1.5" flex line with a 1.5" sch 40 hard line. The pump accepts two types of fittings. The style on there now, which looks like half a union that screws on the threads on the outside of the pump fitting or a a...

I'm thinking about putting my pump on an Intermatic T101R timer. My concern is what happens if the timer turns the pump on, but the pump isn't able to start due to a bad capacitor? For the past few years, my pump capacitor will go out at some point during the season. When this happens, the...

When I bought the house 2.5 years ago, the stain in the attached picture already existed at the bottom of the pool. I didn't give it much thought since you can't feel it when rubbing your foot across it. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I'm getting another stain spot that looks similar in color...

The previous owners of my house left Wanda the Whale behind. She's seen better days and needs several new parts, so I'm debating on fixing her or punting her in the trash. A spring for one of the feet is missing from a pod. Is it possible to buy a new spring and replace just that piece...

I have a Waterway PH2200-6P pump. Today when I attempted to turn on the pump, it just hummed and wouldn't spin. I was able to get it started by manually spinning the shaft with a screwdriver. The same thing happened last year and I replaced the capacitor to resolve the issue. I assume I have...

I have a 2 gang electrical box with 2 GFCI oulets near my pool pump. As you can see, whoever installed it didn't use an "in-use" weatherproof outlet cover. I'm wanting to replace it with an in-use cover, but my pump plug is larger than normal. I need about 3.5" of space for the cover to...

I'm redoing the plumbing of the previous homeowner this year. Several months back I bought 1.5" unions and a 1.5" ball valve from Home Depot so I'd be ready to install everything when opening the pool. Tonight I was watching a video from flexpvc and he showed how a 1.5" ball valve is...

33ft oval AGP in central Oklahoma I purchased my house on November 1 of last year, so with everything going on, I left the equipment outside when closing the pool. Everything worked fine come Spring, but this year I want to redo the entire setup. To start, I want to store the pump and filter...

When I turn off my pool pump, I get violent back pressure through the suction side pipes out through the skimmer. From searching posts, I found multiple comments from duraleigh saying it's probably due to a leak in the suction side plumbing. I know I have a leak because I'm losing water and I...

I recently purchased a house with a 33FT AGP. I've never owned a pool, so I've been spending a ton of time watching videos and reading trying to get up to speed. I opened the pool a few days ago and was able to get the pump to work if I spun the shaft with a screwdriver when I turned it on...
