Had a power outage a while back, when the power was restored hours later I turned on the pump and there was a loud pop sound then a quiet hum from the motor but nothing was pumping. The pump was almost 9 years old, I said - screw it, not gonna bother trying to troubleshoot and replaced it with a...

I've read people say to use the Oatey red can All Purpose Cement. On the Oatey site they say this: I don't care about the cure time and no hot water will go through the pipes. I know they're two different kinds of plastics but has anyone used this glue and then the joint leaked?

I've got an older PacFab NSS-48 DE filter, stainless steel outside. I need to replace the filter grids and the threaded rods that hold everything together are disintegrating from corrosion, I don't think the manifold is cracked anywhere but it's old and I saw this complete grid assembly on...

Need to replace my entire pump and one diverter valve. Two questions: 1.) Since I'm also replacing the pump I don't know if there was a better way to connect the plumbing to that valve - or just copy what was done here, which is what the installer did last time, except there are no unions. I...

In DFW here, our power went out for a long time yesterday. When we got power late last night I stupidly turned on the pump - heard a loud pop from the motor. At first I thought it was a surge but then I thought it was probably because ice was stuck in there. Not smart on my part, not thinking...

Leak is from the gray pipe that comes out of the pump, area is circled in red. The gray pipe is threaded, I haven't repaired one of these before. Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm guessing PVC glue wasn't used on those threads but a sealant? And is this a case where I need to cut the pipe...

Pool was replastered (white with quartz) last week, it's been 6 days since filling it back up with water. After talking to the re-plaster company, the pool store, and reading countless threads here, I was under the impression the pH would be really high initially and I'd have to be dumping acid...

Need to get new plaster and tile, called three places initially based on reading this site and got estimates but ran into some issues. Romo's Pools & Plastering - best price, emailed a couple questions more than a week ago, emailed several other questions two days ago, never heard back Classic...

New guy here, been reading and learning a lot about pool leaks but I can't figure out what's going on with mine. Water level is fine with the pump off. It drops when it's on, so I changed all the gaskets and o-rings of the backwash valve, which haven't been changed in who knows how long. We ran...
