    Main Drain Cover Broken, Is it Safe?

    My inground pool has one main drain in the deep end that I believe is attached to the skimmer basket. I have no valves where I can switch the pump to draw water from either the skimmer or the main drain. Last night, I had the main drain cover break and am looking for a replacement. The cover...

    100% Water Replacement So I'm Starting From Scratch

    Having some work done which required emptying the entire pool. I'll be refilling in the next couple days. During the transition, I'm also moving over to SWG with the Circupool Core-55. I know it is probably more SWG than my 15000 gallon pool needs, but it was available and I figured less %...

    Pentair Superflow.1.5 HP 2 Speed Whining and Roaring

    Hi, Two days ago I had a problem where my polaris pump hose broke at the outflow of the pump. We weren't home at the time and found it after a good deal of water had gushed inside of our pumphouse. It didn't submerge any of the equipment, but everything in the building got a good dousing...

    Dead Pump Due to Electrical Event

    Well, I totally screwed up this evening. I have a pentair superflow 1.5HP 230v 2 speed pump. When we bought the house with the pool, the pump wiring was a bit bare where the flex conduit had torn away from the pump body, so there was just red, black, and green wire coming out of the pump...
