10 x 40 SGW, plain rectangular, vinyl liner pool, 13 years old. Existing cover is LoopLoc. Cover is on its last winter, seam joints are separating because the cords used to sew panels together are disintegrating. Panels themselves are in pretty good condition. Did not use UV resistant material...

10 x40 Vinyl liner pool, cement pavers set in sand bed. Lots of ants. Ants at pool edge drag up sand which ends up in pool lowering level of deck! For 13 years. Have tried killing ants without success. I am looking for a solution to solidify the sand so that the ants will be incapable of nesting...

Problem: 10 x 20 in-ground vinyl pool (SWG) / 2 skimmers, one at each narrow end / Skimmer most distant from pump/filter has the greatest pull - even with flow-control slide plate shut down to 35% and other skimmer flow-control slide plate completely open. History: The original installation, 10...

I have read elsewhere that, on average, 1/2" loss per day is due to evaporation. So, it seems that there might be...

Started replacing bearings that were making lots of noise. Took motor apart and found heavy corrosion of the front motor bell casting which makes re-use of this part problematic (there is a rubber washer retained by a steel washer [rusted to almost nothing] which would have to be replaced). The...

Closing pool in the fall means emptying the pool about 40% +/-. Topping up the pool means adding salt in the spring at start up time. I have a Mineral Springs MS-10 generator which does not give today's reading (default reading) of salt level. The generator will not go on if the salt level is...

Tagelus TA 60D sand filter, 6 port valve, 5 years old, low load - 2 people, on/off pressure differential = 18 psi. Backwashing/rinse cycle makes little difference. I do not accurately remember last years reading, but this seems much higher and there is a marker ring on pressure gauge that says...
