    Sta Rite Max E Therm heater diagnosis

    After educating myself as best I can by watching videos and searching the forums, wondering if someone could help me (as much as you can virtually) diagnose my heater. It seems to function fine, but leaks from the bottom manifold bolt hole. This season it seemed worse. I've attached pictures of...

    Sta Rite heater question

    Hey all, my Sta Rite Max E Therm 333 has a leak. Assume maybe manifold, gasket, etc associated to the area shown in the picture where the bolts are rusting. Is this a common enough problem and/or easy to diagnose on my own? Fairly handy, but I figured I'd ask before opening stuff up and...

    Thinking of going to swg...

    I've had great luck with my pool since finding this place and following the tfp method, buying bleach at Walmart, etc. Towards the end of last season it was hard for me to find it. Now I'm seeing articles about a shortage. I found plenty today and stocked up a bit. But now I'm thinking about the...

    Valve screws

    I'm an idiot and for the life of me can't remember where I put the screws for my Pentair diverter valves. I've been able to locate the part number as 520389. I really don't want to have to special order these or pay $40 for the set. Can anyone smarter than me figure out if I can get something...

    couldn't be happier

    After turning to BBB last summer and just opening I couldn't be happier. I pulled off my winter cover this weekend, tested the water, and everything was spot on except for 0 TC. Added 7 121 oz jugs of 8% bleach, did an OCLT last night and it was still at 17 like it was when I tested last night...

    another happy convert

    Since converting to BBB (or really should I just say B since everything else has been pretty much on the money), shocking once and maintaining proper FC with Walmart bleach, and testing with the TF100, I haven't had a single problem with my pool. Such a relief from when I was dumping so much...

    new to the forums

    Have had my pool a couple years now, treating with Bioguard 3" tablets (they said 2 at a time in each of my 2 skimmers) and putting in 3 bags of Burnout3 each week. Finally fed up when I got "chlorine demand" for the second time this month and they sold me another $100+ of Burnout 3 to shock it...
