So I have had some issues with my SWG this season. Had been bullet proof until this season. I replaced the following: -Power board- it fried and I replaced it completely. That fixed it and it started working again until....the cell went. -Changed the cell and cord. I bought an OEM cell and...

Are they still being manufactured? I called and sent an email out to see about parts, and haven't heard back. Haetsiphon.com I must of had some kind of power surge that took out my Pool Pilot circuit board and the compressor capacitor and contactors. Replaced both but had questions and got no...

Advantage Manufacturing in California. I saw this product .. https://www.advantageman.com/https_www_advantageman_com_product_p_eapv_htm_p/eapv.htm and it seems like a good price. I checked reviews and they were very good. Just wondering if anyone has tried them.

I have had this one for at 6 years maybe more. Opened the pool and it was fine but 2 days later and no lights are on. I took it apart and found one on the wires on the power module board burned to the point the connector came off the board. My dilemma is replacing the Power module is $600, the...

I have a Pentair IntelliFlo Variable Speed High Performance Pool Pump | 3HP Max | EC-011018 currently. It has started making some noises and was looking for a backup pump just in case. I was thinking maybe a CAliMAr or similar, but none to be found and really not crazy about the pump given...

From a company in California. Been thinking of getting a backup pump just in case. My Pentair this weekend was making a funny noise and I would like to be prepared with a backup just in case. A Pentair replacement is about 80-90% more than this. Thanks Rich...

So a few years ago I repainted the 2 latham pool steps. They are blue and I used an epoxy. I used Kelley Technical Coatings - Olympic Poxolon 2 Epoxy Pool Paint, 1 Gallon, Viking Blue I also used a primer first and followed directions to a tee. Extensive prepping, and I did it right before a...

Can I use this for my friends 10500 gallon pool? CircuPool SJ-20 Salt Chlorine Generator good for 20000 gallons or should I increase to the 35000 gallon size. That is the next available size for $1 more at this vendor. Seems like really killing and ant with a sledgehammer.

Not sure if this is the correct area to ask but... I need to rebuild it, I'm sure I can but I have found the spider gasket has to be glued in. What type of glue ? Regular PVC glue or something else? Thanks Rich

I have a 13 year old deck of Nicolock Pavers. Olde Towne 5 piece in adobe. (sort of tan to a light brown). The bullnose has deteriorated where a lot of aggregate is showing through, but most importantly a few need to be replaced. The problem is that are not made any longer and getting the same...

I have a 20 x 40 IG. Had a huge problem with a liner repair the year before. That was finally cleared up and last year we enjoyed a trouble free pool. I have 2 Blue Latham roman stairs installed on opposite short sides. The pool was built in 2006 and never had any real problems at all until the...

The cell is leaking from all over. Wires loose at the cell. Needs to go. Can someone recommend a decent budget friendly for a 22K gallon in ground pool. Its for my 80 year old stepmom. Gotta say the compupool was a budget one but well well enough for the 6 years it was in. Any help would be...

Went out to the pad yesterday and noticed the door to the control unit blew off over the winter. The main white cover is fine the only problem is the door broke off. I see someplace sell a whole cover replacement for around $110 . I only need the door part though, anyone know if that is...

So I decided to replumb the 2 skimmers on my 20x40. Presently they are leaking somewhere, and I only take a plug out of one to vacuum. They are connected via a T, And since I am re doing them is there an advantage to piping 2 separate lines back to pump or can they be T'd like they are now. I...

I really don't use it much but will a problem to cap off. Would have to remove pavers and concrete underneath to expose. I found a Hayward part that says it is a test plug SP1434TP. -Does anyone have any experience with this part ? -Can it be used to permanently close this off ? -Can I glue it...

After my liner change disaster it seems I have a leak. I have been losing a lot of water quickly. It drops about 2" per day until it hits near boom of the skimmer. Then pretty much stops. The new liner guy came out and did a dive to check out all of the cuts into the line. The 3 returns, main...

Generally how long does it take to fill pool after liner change. 28000 gallons. I also have 4 hose bibs around the pool. Suffolk County Long Island.

Contracted with a pool liner replacement company in November of last year, still no liner. Low life company owner kept telling me he had to re measure , delays due to rain, and the new liner is coming in soon, busy on other jobs, blah blah blah. Finally decided about a week before the 4th of...

Long Island house IG 20x40. 3.5' -6' deep. The bottom of the pool is sand filled. Contractor says options are : -simple liner change -troweled bottom for hard floor. The hard floor obviously cost more-about $1000. Says benefits include no dents from feet. Looks better at night. Could cost more...

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post but.... I need a new band for my hayward de 4820. Anyplace I can get a used one cheaper than the approx. $200 for a new replacement? Thanks Rich

My borate level is about 40 already and my ph is 6.8 after massive rain storms. Pool calculator says to add 201 ounces of borax to correct. Will this mess up borax level to high or should I use something else to raise ph? ph 6.8 FC 2 CC 0 CYA 60 TA 75 CH 190 Vinyl pool. Shocking in...

Last week perfect, ph 7.5 fc 3 cc 0 cya 60 SWG 50% this week cloudy water as of yesterday afternoon Jandy SWG showed no flow I don't know why. No error codes, I have since reset it and recalibrated it and it seems to be working. However test results are as follows ph 7.5 FC 0 CC 3.5 CYA 0...

I thought I might have seen somewhere on this forum about trying to keep the pump protected from the elements, notably rain. Is there any need to have the pump protected from rain. I know it's a pool and water is around but is it necessary to build a cover for it. Thanks

It is inside the grids again. Happened when I opened the pool, and not knowing if the manifold was broken or if there was a tear in the fabric I got a great deal on a new filter. Is it possible that the multi port valve is not working right and directing the water into the grids and not outside...

Is there a preferred fitting for the initial fittings on this pump? I know some web sites recommend the pentair union, buy I was wondering what else can be used. The rest of my piping is 1 1/2". If I use a 2" nipple into/out of the pump instead of the union I can put a 2" coupling on the nipple...

On the pentair VS pump do I have to buy their special unions for the install?

Installed a hayward ecostar SP3400VSP about a month ago, it blew this week, totally fried, I dont know why. The fantastic folks at poolsupplyworld graciously will take it back since it is impossible to service locally. I get it, I didn't buy it locally so they are to busy to help me. Wanted me...
