I installed my new pump about a month ago. yesterday I walk outside and the pump is making a very low hum and not doing anything. It is extremely hot to the touch. Once it has cooled for a little while, you can turn it on and it will pump and move water and then cut off within a minute. The pump...

So earlier this week, my pump went out. I wanted to get a two speed pump to try and see some energy savings and the benefits of a quieter pump is nice too. I ended up ordering a Hayward Max Flo II 1 HP, Model SP2707X102, which is actually a 1.25 HP accounting for the service factor. On high...

All, I could really use some help. My pump is dead. I've got an electrician friend coming over to check it out but I'm planning for the worst. I may need to order a pump right away. Any suggestions for a good pump that wont break the bank for a 24,000 gallon in ground pool?!?

My pool temps are getting up to and over 100 degrees pretty regularly these days. Is there anything that I need to be aware of at these temps? I'm assuming that algae could be a real problem with water this warm. Are there any additional precautions I need to take?

I'm losing water out of the discharge or waste pipe when the pool is on filter. Took apart my multivalve and it looks like the gasket inside has seen better days. I'm not exactly sure which model I have because the model and serial number are faded out. HOWEVER, I could read the patent number...

Just getting the pool up and running. FC: .4 CC: .2 TA 90 CYA ~55 PH 7.5 I didn't test for CH since i have a vinyl pool. I know I need to bring the FC up and possibly shock if needed but how do the other numbers look. I was happy that the CYA was down from last year. I'm going to try and do...

My dad is looking into a new pool cleaner. Budget is important but really having something that works right is the most important. Does anyone have any feedback on the Polaris 165? He does not have a pool cleaner line or booster pump setup so he's looking for something suction or pressure side...

I need to figure out what type of Polaris I have and there are no model numbers on the unit itself only a serial number on the back. I'm trying to decide whether I want to rebuild this one or get a new pool cleaner. I'm coming up on three years with this house and the polaris came with it, but...

My backup valve is spewing water all the time. Is this normal?

My Polaris is spending a lot of time just wandering around not doing much. It doesn't sit on the pool floor just kind of hovers and doesn't pick up anything. Sometimes it just stops on an open section of the floor and takes a few minutes to restart. This is really driving me crazy as its using...

We have had an enormous amount of rainfall over the last week and the ground is over saturated. We have had flood warnings for the last few days. My pool liner is bulging all around the pool. I suppose it is from all the water in the ground and the water table is very high right now. Is my...

I have a lot of algae but my CYA is very high. As in the 130 range. Is it possible to maintain this pool as is. I don't mind doing and little drain here and there to bring the level down, but to drain half the pool right now would be impracticable right now. Am I fighting a loosing battle here...

I was wondering what some of the less expensive SWG's were that would work for a 24,000 GAL in-ground pool. I'm currently using the BBB method but I am strongly considering the switch to Salt for the simplicity.

My FC is 2.4 and my TC is 0.1. How is that possible. I thought that TC is CC+FC!?! Also of note ph 7.4 CYA 16 AK 19

I have several products left over from the previous homeowner. 1. Stablizied tablets ( I assume contain cya so I won't use) 2. Aqua Chem 4-1 Granulated chlorine 3. Aqua Chem 4-1 Shock Does anyone know how 2 and 3 will effect other readings such as pH, ak, CH, etc.?

Just wanted to say hello. I am the proud new owner of a 20x40 24,000 gallon in-ground vinyl pool. We have just purchased a new home complete with pool and we are very excited. In addition to the pool we also inherited a Polaris 380, which I had rebuilt at the local pool store. I found this...
