I'm having a problem with my Hayward Super Pump 2 after replacement of shaft seals and O rings. The pump is not rotating when turned on. The motor assembly did not want to seat fully into pump housing during reassembly. Stopped short ~ 1/4-3/8 in. I closed the gap between the motor assy flange...

Well, my 11 year old PacFab De filter bit the dust over the weekend. It developed a crack in the lower section. The filter was approaching 30 psi when I discovered the leak. I tore the unit down, epoxied the crack both inside and out and let it cure overnight. When I put the filter back in...

I am somewhat confused about the recommended TF balance for a plaster pool w/ SWG and the resulting CSI values. My current test results are as follows; pH- 7.5 FC- 10 TA-60 CH-375 CYA- 75 Borate-20 Salt-3200 Temp- 81 deg. CSI- (-.48) I know I'm slightly on the high side with my CH values but it...

My 6 month old Boykin Spaniel (Gator, living up to his name) decided to make a chew toy out of the the cable between the controller and cell today :shock: Is this cable consumer replaceable? If so, how hard is it to do and where can I get a new cable? I did not see it on the Hayward site...

I'm seriously considering the installation of a Goldline Aqua Rite SWG. Are there any issues with a saltwater pool and unsealed flagstone for coping and on the deck edge? Better to ask now, rather than later with an issue. Thanks, Larry

I have a Pentair FNS Plus 60 DE filter on my pool. I disassembled the grids today to do a manual clean/soak on the grids. Six of the eight grid frames were broke near the top of the return pipe. It has been one year since the filter was last manually cleaned. The last time it was cleaned I had...

I have been a user of the BBB methods for approx. 5 years now with the occasional wandering off the trail. It seems I have made a critical mistake of having some water tests performed at my local pool store and more to the fact, I took them at face value. Bad mistake! I have a PS 233 test kit...

I have just replaced approx. 50% of my pool water. I made the mistake of taking my water to be tested at a local pool store where the the numbers are very differnt from my test kit (PS 2333). I thought my CYA was in excess of 100 and CH was running a little high @ 500. The pool has started...
