Hi guys, I've had an issue with my pool for a while, where every 2-3 days I need to fill the pool for about 45 minutes to an hour to bring it back to appropriate levels. The pool must be leaking, as it does not seem like as much water would disappear from normal evaporation causes. I have a...

My pool guy called and said my pump wouldnt start and wires looked fried at the timer. Everything has been working fine and the timer was only a year old. I think he shorted it with wet fingers and the water touching the eldctrical when he went to turn the timer on. Is there anyway to salvage...

I just bought a new unicell filter to replace my old one and after putting the new one in, I noticed the hayward cartridge is leaking and I cannot get it to stop.
