Hey, all... I have an older Sam Spectrum amerlite pool light that had a small leak. I cleaned it out, got everything working again, replaced the lens gasket with an original Pentair gasket (#79101600Z) as I was told the black rubber gaskets are not as good. About 2 weeks later, I...

Hello, everyone. I have an older pentair intellibrite LED pool light, 120V, w/ integrated 12v transformer. Up until tonight, I was using the on/off switch to change colors & patterns, but I've just installed a "new" controller, (#600054) purchased off an auction site & the light now won't...

Hey, all, & happy 4th! I have here a tile grout issue I can't explain, so I'm hoping someone else can. As you can see in the pics, the grout is oozing somthing, or something in the water is leaving this caking of something on the grout. It feels like cement. I've destroyed 2 scrubbers trying...

Hello, all, I'd like to know what the best/reasonably priced chemical to use for tile grout cleaning. Apparently, the local birds are using the top of my tiled spa wall for a bathroom ( i know... real gross..) & the grout seems to be getting it the worst. Strange, as this never happened before...

Hi, all... So I installed a new Pentair Variable pump, model 11018, all works fine except... According to the pentair site, they say if I run my pump @1000rpm for 17 hrs, that will be one complete turnover. (Pool size is 17,000 gals.) I have it running at that exact setting now, but geezo...

Not real computer literate, I admit, but I'm trying to post a pic to one of my posts, but can't figure out how to add a resized pic from my library. Or do I need to set up a flickr account or something? Tx for any help!!!

Just wondering if it would be a good idea to try to install a SWG myself or should I just not hassle it & hire someone. I'm no pool contractor by any means, I know I definitely won't be able to install it as quickly, but I'm not a complete idiot either. About a year ago I was quoted around...

Hello.. So my Pool builder just completed 5-day water start up service last friday, (10/8) after fantastic replastering job, turned the pool over to me, but now isn't very helpful as far as what I need to do to get the water chemicals up to specs. Obviously, I need to add chemicals. I've been...

Sorry, still newb. Can someone tell me where the Tips & tricks thread is? It's very helpful, but now I can't find it. Thanks for any help! Corey

I'm considering replastering. Understanding it's almost the start of summer, I assume I won't be able to use the pool for several weeks afterwards, which doesn't bother me all that much, as summers here run well into October. Construction-wise, is there a general rule of thumb regarding...

So glad I found this site & proud to be a lifetime supporter! I refer to this site often, so I thought it only fair to help out. I'm still pretty green when it comes to pool care, so I'm sure I'll be back here many times. Thanks!

Ok, so I've been in my home for a year. Now that summer is approaching, I did a CYA test & it was through the roof, (over 100) & my chlorine is getting eaten away with the bright sun. So instead of countering every bad chemical reading by adding more chemicals, and since I have no idea how...

Newb here. I'd like to store my pool chemicals outside in a covered pool toybox type container, just for convenience sake, but I now I read I'm supposed to store them a cool dry place. In the past I've kept them in the garage, but is the outside toybox storage going to have a worse effect on...

Hi, Newbie here, older pool, new pool owner, trying to get everything under control. Finally got chemicals under control, but now when the solar cover goes on, in the morning I see a white powder-like substance where any water that spilled onto the solar cover dried up. What is this? Is it...
