Yesterday my pool temp. sensor started reading that my pool temp was 159 degrees which is totally off. Anyone have any idea why the sensor would be reading so off like that? Time for a new sensor?

I'm pretty sure it's called the pressure release valve that's what is connected to the end of my cleaner hose into the wall. The valve has a filter screen, and from my guess in the way it's positioned it's not screening in from the cleaner but the opposite direction. This screen gets clogged...

So I have a Hayward Super 2 Pump (3/4 HP) strictly used for our small waterfall. The pump hasn't been working. I wanted to ask you all from a DIY standpoint would it be easier to replace the motor or the entire pump? I know the motor would be cheaper but both options are cheaper than paying a...

Any ideas how to get this off the tile? Not sure what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just tried turning on my water fall and it didn't work. Went over to my aquaLogic PS8 control panel by the pump pressed water fall and could faintly hear the pump make a buzz but not pumping water. It is a Hayward SuperPump II 3/4hp. Anything I should check before I go and buy a new pump...

We have an existing pool that has an exposed aggregate (peagravel) pool deck, next to that pool deck is a wooden deck and that deck butts up to an existing concrete patio. As shown below: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78425727@N05/12459708644/...

Can anyone tell what type of flagstone this is (besides calling it deteriorating flagstone)? Will probably need to replace a few of the flagstone coping around our pool. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78425727@N05/12364271464/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78425727@N05/12363999293/

We are about to have a pergola built as a kind of extension from our small covered patio. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of their pergolas where they have the bottom of the beam at 7 ft. Our beam will be a 4"x"12, so that means the 2"x8" that sit on them will be at a max height of...

It's been cold in texas the last few nights and my aqualogic freeze protections keeps turning on pump and waterfall and then turning off like every 5 minutes because of my freeze protection set on my aqualogic. Is this bad for my pumps to turn on/Off so frequently? Shows to be 26ish through the...

Okay so our salt cell went out about 2 weeks ago-ish. I've noticed what looks like some slight algae building up on the walls of the pool and spa. (picture attached). I've just received our new salt cell and was about to install it but thought to ask TFP first what you all think I should do...

All I'm pretty sure my salt cell has died. Its only 2.5 years old as the original owner replaced it on Mar 2011. Wont generate chlorine cause it reads a low salt (2300) used salt test strips which tell me it;s closer to 3400. Test water and chlorine is not being generated as I am having to...

I'm thinking about converting my pool to a regular ol' chlorine pool. We bought this house with a 6 year old pool and I believe the SWG maybe on it's last leg (2 years and 3 months old). We have had major issues with out flagstone coping and apparently the white plaster (calcium scaling I...

We have an existing pool deck that is exposed aggregate. This pool deck butts up against a wooden deck and that butts up next to our concrete patio. Anyway we are looking to have the wood deck ripped out and have concrete poured then go over the aggregate, new pour and existing concrete with...

Anyone here seen or have an outdoor kitchen that butts into their detached garage? I've seen a number of installs where they back it into an exterior brick wall but have not seen any (possibly for good reason) where they butt it up to their detached garage> Our garage has hardi on the side and...

This past weekend I removed my cleaner from the pool for the first time. I diconnected it from the quick disconnect wall fitting similar to what is shown here http://www.swimnsaveusa.com/13046D29.ht ... 7AodzA8ALg. I can not for the life of me get it to connect back on. I can feel it fall...

Previous owner put in the pool and decking as well as the wood deck you are about to see in the images. I'd like to hear opinions on what people think I should replace the wood deck portion with. We really do not like the wood deck because 1) it has 2 heighths as you can see some of it is...

Unfortunately the flagstone on my coping has been deteriorating. I've only owned the pool for a year but it was originally put in in 2007 by previous owner. Some of the pieces are really bad and some of them not so bad, interestingly enough. I'm sure I'll have to replace it shortly but hoping...

The pump for the pool has a clear top so I can plainly see if there is debris in the strainer. I was wondering does the pump for the waterfall also have a strainer, and does it require to be cleaned out. The cover is not clear and our old pool guy never mentioned if I had to occasionally clean...

I have ordered a new Spa Light. I've seen a few videos on Spa Light replacement so I am familiar in general how they are replaced. The one thing I have not been able to find a video of is how to disconnect the existing spa light from my AquaLogic PS8. I have deducted that of the cords that run...

This is probably a dumb question. I am either going to get lucky and only need to order a bulb and gasket or will have to order a whole new light for my spa. I know that I have this light http://www.hayward-pool.com/prd/In-Grou ... 4008_I.htm I know based on original owner documents that it's...

Quick question I have been testing with the K2006 for a few weeks. This question is a general one but one that I thought about when testing the TA. In most cases my initial tests are always using the 25ml amount of pool water. After I tested the TA at with 25ml. I came out to 150. I then...

I have an AquaLogic controller that i turn my pool lights on and off with. I have noticed that in some instances the lights cycle through a few different colors but sometimes they dont. Is there a special sequence on the controller i need to hit the pool light button to have it change colors or...

I'm having issues with my flagstone coping around my pool (SWG). The pool was built in 2007. I'm to the point where I'm going to have to try and seal the stone coping as well as the rock waterfall. Has anyone had any experience with the Dupont StoneTech Salt Water Sealer...

I have a pool light and spa light both which i believe are on the same breaker. A year ago they were both working fine. The pool light works fine as well, but if at anytime you try and turn the spa light on , it renders both non- functional. I then need to reset the breaker. Then the pool...

I have an Aqualogic PS8, with a Hayward H400 heater. I messed with the PS8 to figure out if i could just heat thenspa by itself. No look, seemed likemit was trying to heat the whole pool. I found the menu to adjust "spa heat" but what ever i entered there also reflected on the "pool heat." Is...

As I am starting to get into testing my own pool and adding chemicals myself, I was wondering where do you guys store additional /extra chemicals? I know that I need to keep my test kit indoors, but do you guys keep your bags of salt, muratic acid, shock etc... in the garage? In a plastic...

On poolcalculator.com Its shows different kinds of acid. For example 15.7% 10 degree Baume or 31.45% - 20 degree baume What does this mean? Are these different types you can buy?

Okay as the subject title suggests I am a Newb Pool Tester - Just want to make sure its not way off. I just got my Taylor k2006 kit in. I have a ~10000 gal SWG pool, these are the test results (after i cleaned my salt cell and cartridge filters yesterday) CYA - 0 (is this possible?) FC = 4.6...

I have a very uniquely shaped pool. This is a survey of what the shape of my pool is. . I have an original work order for the building of the pool (2007 - I am not the original owner of the home, moved in after the fact) These dimensions are listed for the pool: - pool size: 18-28 ; Per Ft...

First time pool owner, had a pool service until about 3 months ago. Anyway recently our AquaLogic started showing lower Salt levels PPM. I unfortunately let it get down to like 2300ppm. At that point it started showing "Chlorinator off - check salt system" I just ordered a pool test kit...
