Ok, maybe I’m worried over nothing but need some advice. The screw plate on my pressure side pool cleaner is cracked. Unsure if it’s leaking but want to replace anyway. The liner is only 3 years old but I’m worried that if i take the plate off, the vinyl might shift or stretch and I will be in...

Hey all, just had a new 27 mil liner installed. The builder recommended not using sidewall foam because it would help the liner resist puncture. Ok, he’s the professional and liable for the install. Today I noticed that there was a pointed bump about a foot underneath the water level that was...

Ok guys, I need some reassurance. I was trying to fill a crack in the concrete deck and was adding sand to help fill in the void and I was using a hose to help wash the sand in (the sand was old filter sand). Come to find out, the water was actually washing a good portion of the sand under my...

I have an in-ground vinyl liner pool. This is my third year opening it. I typically lower the water level to a few inches below the skimmer box which also means my top step in the pool is dry all winter. I've noticed that the vinyl on that step is starting to shrink a bit. I assume this is...

My liner is yellowing (especially in the white areas) as well as the baskets in my skimmer and pump. I thought maybe it was my liner getting old but why would my baskets yellow too? I have tried googling and searching for an answer but could not find anything. I've tried super chlorinating to...

Hey all, I have a pool pump question. My pump will not start and I can't figure out why. Here are my troubleshooting steps. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions. Pump is wired 240 single phase. The pump acts like its dead. No humming, no nothing. Its been running fine for a day but decided to...

Just wondering what everyone does with their pool equipment over the winter. I live in Central Kansas so it does get cold and snowy. I have the pump, booster pump and a SWG. Should i disconnect these and bring them inside or is there a better way to store them? Will they be OK left on or will...

Anyone know what these spots might be? I have tried scrubbing them with a brush and they will not go. I spoke with my local pool store and they thought it might be from metals (but water tested 0 metals in water) so i purchased some metal magic and scrubbed them again without any change. Thoughts?

Hello All So I walked out to my pool today and noticed that there was no water movement and the pump had shut off. The pump was hot to the touch but still had power going to it. OK, so it must have overheated and the thermal protection kicked in. Great. Did some troubleshooting and found that...

I am currently running a Hayward pro series S244-t sand filter (multi-port on top) with a pentair superflo 1.5 HP pump. When I am running the system on filter, I notice a sound in the filter like there is air being churned around. My pump is not sucking air, the strainer pot is clear without air...
