I have a pentair superflo VS pentair part# 342001 and I had planned on getting a pentair solar touch. However after reading the manual for it there doesn't seem to be compatibility there. At least not officially since they reference intelliflow pumps. So my question is what solar controller...

My old pump has started to die and I am just hoping to make it through closing for the season. Right now the dying pump is two speed and is only working on low anymore. It just makes a very short lived try and then clicks off when I try the high speed. Next year when I open I want to redo most...

My family is seeing a few shocks. I did a search here on shocking pools and got lots of threads which I have read in their entirety. I'm seeing Around a volt from a railing pocket at our stairs to the water. No Amps measurable. Not mili not micro, nothing. I see about .3 to .4 volts from a...

I used the taylor drop test with the silver nitrate to determine I am at 3200ppm for the salt. The "instant" value goes to 9999 and then falls to around 2600 before it says check salt and inspect cell. We just bought this place so I'll have to look and see if the previous owner left anything...

Hadn't seen this one before...sorry if it is an old one. Made me chuckle. [youtube:181sop59]GGigjqUW8pQ[/youtube:181sop59]

I have seen from reading this forum that most people say they just balance water, shock and cover when temps are lower. I can't wait for weather that cold...I have to do it now to avoid tons of leaves and nuts from dropping into the pool. At least until I can have the offending trees taken...

There is a small crack in this valve which is leaking a very small amount, but it is still leaking. I thought of just using some PVC glue on it, but that isn't the same as plastic is it? There is a sticker on the side saying don't use anything that isn't safe with plastic. So is there some sort...

I have been using the BBB method for a year now. Just took the cover off two days ago (I know I'm late) and CYA seems to be about zero according to the test (never gets cloudy). Just wondering if it is best to add using something like dichlor or trichlor or simply "conditioner". I am figuring...

Edit to keep all the original info accessible in one post since it doesn't quite make sense on its own .................................. Split from: liner-pulled-away-from-coping-is-this-a-diy-t22235.html ....................................... Hate to hijack a post, but it looks like the OP...

As seen here http://www.lesliespool.com/browse/Home/Floats-Toys-Games/Remote-Control/Jet-Net-RC-Skimmer/D/30100/P/1:100:9000:900060/I/76395 Has anyone used this "toy"? My wife was joking about getting me this for Father's Day, but she won't spend that much without letting me research. I think it...

Is the DWV stuff really inferior?...I have read a couple posts on not wanting to use it and found out (after not knowing what it was) that it is not for pressure. Well, I can't even find anything else at my local homedepot or lowes. You can find some fittings, but most of the stuff including...

Have the panels in place, but need to run piping back to the pool pump now. Not sure how to get the pipes held in place or how to go over the edge of the roof. Previous owner has had some (different) panels up there and they cut through the roof, but that has been patched up and I won't do that...

My pool has the pieces to put a ladder into on the deep end embedded into the concrete decking, but I can't seem to find a ladder to fit. Every ladder I can find measures 20" between the two handrails. Well my mounts (for lack of knowledge of the real term) Measure 17.5 inches, not 20. So I...

Other than the ones listed in pool school of course...I am aware of those, but already have a test kit that does everything else other than chlorine past 5 (or 10 if I dilute half) Just wondering if there is one cheaper than buying a $70 kit for only one thing since I already have the rest. I...

First off let me say this is all still rather new to me. 2nd year with pool that came with house. Having multiple issues at once, but trying to keep them separate. Having algae growth. Have attached a pic to this post. Not too sure what kind it is, but after reading many posts here and...

Hello all. I hope this is the right place to post...I picked here because my suspicion is the equipment, but not sure. I am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction here as I am having issues with my pool. This is only my second season with the pool since we bought this...
