I had some old gate valves on my pool and spa suction that went bad and started letting air into the strainer basket, filter etc. At one point it got so bad that the pump lost prime and ran dry for a while, not sure how long. I've since had the suction lines re-plumbed with new 3-way valves...

I have a gate valve on my spa return that has begun to disintegrate. I'm pretty sure this is the culprit for letting air into my system. I've replaced the pump lid o-ring and lid itself (which was cracked), but continue to get air into the filter and constantly have to bleed it off. I also...

I have 4 recessed holes with metal bars/anchors in the walls of my IG pool approximately 1/2 between the deep and shallow end, at about a 1 foot depth, and again closer to the bottom of the pool. Can someone tell me what these are for? Can I attach a safety rope to the upper ones...

About to buy a solar cover for my IG 16x36' solar heated kidney shaped pool and am researching reels. Can't really spring for one of the nice $200-300 reels, so I thought I'd look into building something myself. I came across the solar roller coverstick (http://solarfactory.com/) that has a...

Just installed 6 Aquasol 4x12' panels on the roof for my 14x36' IG kidney shaped pool. Want to make sure they're doing their job and don't have any air pockets, blockages, etc. The panels are on a south facing roof and at about 40-42 GPM I'm getting a 4 degree rise in the temp entering and...

I've been researching a while to replace existing IG solar collector system. Fafco seems quite popular, especially out here on the West Coast. I'd like to get about 280 sq. ft. of surface area, so I'm looking at something like the Sunsaver 4' x 12' collectors, 6 of them positioned vertically...
