So, I left my pump run overnight last evening and I looked this morning and the water was still moving like normal, and then around 10am or so, I looked out and the water wasn't moving. Upon inspection, there wasn't any water moving in the pump either and it had lost prime. I turned it off, and...

My new neighbor is having some flow issues with his pool pump, and I was hoping to help him out. When we opened it for the season, there was a significant amount of algae to deal with, which he has cleared, but now the flow on the pump seems to be low. He has removed the cartridges twice and...

So yesterday, I went out to turn my Hayward Pump on. Shortly after I did so, I heard a pop, but the motor kept going. I went over to look at the motor and some smoke was coming out. I quickly turned off the motor and took a day to clear my head since I seem to be stuck in a rut of things...

Greetings folks, you guys have always helped me with my own pool, but now I have turned the lessons you've given me, and am trying to help my neighbor open their pool. A little back story: They bought the house the end of last summer, and since the season was all but over, they left it closed...

So, since I've been having algae problems a lot, I'm used to pulling my filter apart and cleaning it off. (See DE Filter model in my sig) I have a question. I've replaced the o-ring kit a few times, but I usually get water coming up through the top of the filter out by the shaft down the...

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to the forum and have read a bunch of information on the forum and gone through Pool School. I thought I knew what I was doing, but clearly, I was mistaken. :) I have struggled with green algae the last two years and at the end of last season, we had a Mesh...

Greetings, new member, first time post! I found your site while searching for ways to clear my algae ridden pool. We just bought a mess cover at the end of the last season, and I pulled it back to see how the water was yesterday and found a mess that I'm going to have to clean up. Through all...
