Hello All, Water pools around my pump and filter whenever the pump runs. When it's dry and the pump starts, I can see the water ooze from approximately beneath where the pump and motor join. What kind of seal is there between the pump and motor? I tightened the bolts that join the motor to...

Hey Gang, I've got a new cell (8 months) and my pool's getting green. I have successfully replaced (with advice from this forum) the resistor on my board twice. Now my problem is that the "Generating" light is on, but the power light is not. Sounds like a burned out LED on the power light...

Hey folks, I hate to be a poor-weather friend :(, but here I am with a problem. I have a Hayward AquaRite Goldline t-15. Had it for about 6 years. Along about year 1.5, I had to replace the inrush limiter (as I learned to do on this site) and that solved my problem. I don't remember now what...

Hello All! I’m in the mid stages of building an outdoor kitchen. Yesterday I made the cutout for the grill, and now my wife and I are in a debate. So the grill has a SST hanger flange that goes around the sides and back. The grill is suspended on this flange. The question is: Does the...

Good Morning Folks, Thanks so much for all of your input helping me identify the Hayward Super II that I posted on here yesterday. Decided to go with another of the same. Now I need help identifying a valve. I need to replace one and unless I can find one like it (with coupling), I'll need...

Good Morning Gang, So last night after cleaning my pool I hit the power and....BUZZZZ. Nothing but a buzz. The equipment is 13 years old (was a foreclosure) and the nut at the bottom of my cart filter is stripped out, so I'm going to replace the whole thing; pump, motor, filter. I need to...

Happy Sunday Folks, I got my SWG yesterday and I'm trying to install it. Having a plumbing problem though. Attached is a picture of my dilemma. What tool would you use to loosen the fitting circled in red. I'm hoping that the grey pipe to the right of the circle (the part with the "return"...

Happy Easter Y'all. I'm trying to decide between the Compuchlor and the Goldline Aquarite. The Compuchlor needs ~6000PPM salt and the Goldine about 1700-3400. Why the big difference? I can imagine that it has to do with the charge that the system runs across the grid. The higher the charge...

Hello Gang, I'm about to take the leap into SWG. I'm tossed up about the aquarite and the compuchlor, but the real question is installation. I have about a 1' stretch that the puck feeder is mounted on (been puck-free for more than a year, thanks to this site). Envision an up-over-down...

Hello All, So I've finally gotten the chemistry of my pool under control using BBB, thanks to you all. Now on to tackle a surface problem I'm having. When I did a 75% drain on my pool to get rid of the calcium hardness and CYA, I also did some cleaning. I hit the block border with muriatic...

Good Morning Gang, Yesterday I drained about 3/4 of my pool and refilled it all last night and this morning. As of today I'm puck-free! Here were my numbers before the drain: My test kit is a Taylor K-2005 (got it with the house, in good condition) Free Chlorine - Too high to test. Water...

Hello All, So I've got some light mineral build up on the block that rims the upper edge of my pool above the water line. And I've also got some mysterious very heavy spots (the build up and the spots look to be the same thing). The spots are mysterious because they are in random places above...

Hello All, I've had a couple of spots on the walls of the block border to my pool that had what looked like heavy calcium "leaking" out. The spots were hard white that ran down the block. So I put about 6 oz. of muriatic acid in a spray bottle and started at them. Got most of it off. But...

Good Morning Folks, I don't have any questions but would like to share a lesson I learned. Last week I had a problem with high filter pressure (35) and low flow back to the pool. You all said clean the filter cartridge and both skimmer baskets. I did that with not much luck. So I made...

Hello All, First time pool owner. Been lurking here for a few weeks and learning tons. THANKS!! Now the problem: Just like another poster, I vacuum through the hole in the bottom of the skimmer. After 10 minutes suction goes to nil. Not vacuuming debris, just dirt. Two weeks ago when I...
