So since as mentioned in a prior thread my pool of 16 years rusted out and I have a new one being installed tomorrow. The old pool was bonded to one of the uprights by the pump, then attached to the pump. Is it a simple as them just attaching that copper wire to the new upright, or is there...

Stupid question. If replacing an existing pool any the need for sand and new electrical Moved from here.

Havent opened yet, was walking around the pool and noticed this rust spot. Is this something that can be repaired or will a new AGP be needed?

I bought an EC40c92s off craigslist about 3 years ago and am pretty happy with it. Looking like may need to replace diaphragm gasket, shaft hardware kit, clamp assembly hardware (one of the inserts a little bent), looking like about 110 there in parts, not major. Looking and see a brand new...

Starting up my pool, had to add a ton of water so no surprise no fc. Put in a gallon of liquid chlorine, tested about 4 hrs later, still read zero. So grabbed a fresh gallon of liquid chlorine poured some straight into the tester, 2 scoop r 0870 and no pink either. The chlorine has a strong...

We had big storms here yesterday so i turned off my pump as i figured the water lever would be up over skimmer, wasnt disappointed. I was disappointed when i pumped water out this morning then turned it back on and it has a whine going on now. Its a bit away from our house, kinda sounds like...

I've got a Hayward power flo matrix pump. While cleaning around the pump, i noticed that the bonding lug (where the copper wire goes in for grounding) broke off. Is there a way to attach this back on, or am i now needing to buy a new pump? been searching the web and having trouble finding...

Kind of a wiered opening this year. Taking cover off, was green, and of course a lot of Crud fell off the cover into the pool. I struggle getting it off more ever year :-( So tested my water, got ph 7, fc 0, cya zero (lost alot of water and had to add water most of yesterday. got the sock...

Pennsylvania AGP, we had alot of rain over the winter, pumped off as much as i could. Took cover off today and i'd say almost half my water is gone.... What are my next steps? How do i find out if i have a leak? i thought maybe it leaked out the skimmer, but water level is well below that at...

Not huge leak but enough to make ground moist. Ive cranked on most of the connections but still small leak. Anyone use plumbers putty for the parts that have to screw into the filter tank? I'm thinking of using on the part that screws into bottom of filter body for draining filter, de and...

Where do you let it run to? Every year i think about this as i am opening and need to bump and dump early. I let it run onto a tarp which catches much of the DE, but water into yard. What does everyone else do?

First off pool is marvelously clear, numbers are good and slam complete. When i tested in April had CYA 60 so slammed at that number 24 fc May 6th completed slam with 0 overnight chlorine loss. PH 8 TA 100 So i added some muriatic acid to which brought me to PH 7.4 TA 80-90 Now we've had a...

Ollies having their sale this weekend, how many gallons do you usually buy to get through the season? Roughly, I know everyones quantity will vary, but just to get an idea.

Hi, winter cover fell in so opening early in pa.... unfortuantely, a lot o junk on the cover fell in creating some algae. My EC40 which i bought last year pressure rising pretty quick and not filtering very good because of. I took it apart, the fingers were dark green. Hosed them down, put...

My Waterways skimmer had a crack in it so I replaced it with a Hayward SP109 WM a couple days ago. I've noticed some waster running down by the corner of the skimmer, which is exacerbated if i push on the wall there with my finger. I swear I tightened the screws until my fingers hurt...

I'm seeing a little rust by my skmmer. Pools only about 7 years old, shoudl this be under warranty? Should I be very worried? I have a small crack where the hose adapter screws in to the body of my waterways skimmer, so I think I will have to change it at some point. Do I just sand and paint...

The spoon to get the powder out for my 2006-k has turned black, like its burnt....I still test ok, but wonder what thats about...this is my first time with the kits.

Reading in Pool School, ABCs of Pool chemistry, "If you have a SWG or very high levels of direct sunlight, CYA is typically kept between 70 and 80." But when I look at the Chlorine/CYA chart 70 and up have an asterisk and say not recommended. My pool is in direct sunlight all day long so I'm...

Is it possible to save the values I enter as goal so that I dont have to reenter each tim?

I've ordered a Taylor k2006, but in mean while had to test water. Took to local valley pool and wonder do their numbers even tie to what suggested numbers are?? For TA it says recommended 120-180 for CA it says 30-100. Are their numbers so that we cant actually figure anything out on our...
