I had to get a new motor. Need to attach the bonding wire. But it’s not long enough now. 1. Do I just need more wire, #8 copper and a copper color bolt? And just snip off the connector that lets it be screwed to the motor and get a new one for the new piece of wire? 2. I attached a picture of...

Came home and pump wouldn’t turn on. No him, click, just nothing when I turn the black dial on the timer. Can hear the pool timer clicking so it’s getting electricity to the pool area. Checked the capacitor with a multimeter and on 200k or 2000k it starts at zero and continues to go up until it...

Few days ago my energy filter started leaking when in use. Replaced the O ring and didn't change anything. Took the jar off and cleaned the threads and relubed the O ring. No change. Anything else to try beofore having to order a new one and replumb it? Here is the video:

What causes the problem in the picture attached? The wall plug starts to come out on one side, then eventually blows off into the pool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reading in here pretty sure I have mustard algae. I'm pretty disappointed, as I have been a member here for awhile and really kept our old pool looking good. but I have had a rough time with the new pool lately. I was in a car accident and hurt my back and lost control of it at the end of the...

There is s rattling in my DE filter (sounds like plastic hitting the lid) and pump won't prime (fills up basket 75%). Filter pressure up about 5-10 psi over normal. Just showed up over night. I think I have a small rip in one filter grid, as DE showed up in the Polaris cleaner net Before I put...

My sight glass broke and now i can't backwash, which is an issue here in Dallas with all this rain and my pool doesn't have a overfill prevention drain built into the wall anywhere. The screw is still there, but I cant get it out. it just spins and spins. Any ideas on that? Also below is the...

This is the timer in there now. We just bought this house. The timer seems to get stuck a lot when trying to either turn on when off or vice versa. T just gets hung up and won't roll over past the first or last tab to change status. Any ideas to repair or the best one to go with that will...

Just bought a new house and we are looking to re-plaster at minimum, and maybe replace tile and the bricks that line the pool depending on total cost. Anyone have any they recommend in the Dallas/Flower Mound area?

Heard a weird noise coming from pump. Went to investigate and wasn't primed. Worked fine on the morning cycle today. Unscrewed the basket lid and the water was literally smoking and super hot. Had to let it pull from hot tub and pool to get it to fill back up. Cleaned out the basket turned it...

I currently have a broken and unrepairable Lara Lite 2 heater (400,000 BTU's) We are selling the house and the buyers want the heater fixed. Its around $2950 for the only quote i have so far to remove old, install new master temp 400 heater. If they were interested in replacing the old heater...

Need to trouble shoot these stains. The plaster is a little scratched/chipped and where to does there are brown stains. This only occurs around these scratches. I am in the process of selling the house and want the pool to look as good as possible. Was re plastered in 2010. Water specs are...

have the spa-rite dura glass pump with a Century centurion 1.5 hp motor. Took apart my pump to change the bearings and shaft seal. That went smooth, but when I got the impeller back on I only hand tightened. If I hold with a wrench in the back and tighten more, it doesn't spin very easy after...

Motor repay is in a tire thread but what are the steps to drain everything and protect against freezing temps when pool can't run. I know to pull the drain plug on the filter and pump. I assume the booster pump is ok as is. I have a heater that is not working at the moment, but I know there are...

I feel like I am missing something. Undid the four 9/16 bolts, and the motor won't pull away. Feels like it is stuck to the bottom of the front of the stand. Is there a bolt Iim...

http://youtu.be/J1UidKL63SE Just started. Been running for about 3 days straight with the freezing temps. I can get the model info tomorrow. Any ideals? Does it hurt to run it like that? Don't want tonal emanating worse.

Please see the video. This my dads equipment http://youtu.be/Rha-wwFeBeg It was doing the same thing with the old valve so he replaced the entire valve and all the o rings and lubricated well. It still leaks. It looks like it starts from underneath the base of the handle. Any ideas?

Has a small leak on the bottom that squirts more when back washing. Doesn't leak too bad but i a m assuming it will only get worse. Just noticed today one of the nuts on one side is missing.

Worked fine last winter and spring, Didn't use it through the summer and now it won;'t fire. Knob inside is turned to on. any ideas where to start?

http://www.youtube.com/embed/wymR1w-bjoA Ignore my 3 year old yelling that he found "dog poo poo" :) It also will stay near the walls, taking right turns back up the wall more often than it seems like it should. I am pretty good at fixing this thing, just want to know where to look first...

my CYA came out to about 30, but I tested the water right out of the pool. My thermometer is broken, but the outside temp is about 65 without overnight lows in the 40's. Should i be waiting for the water to get to room temp? If so for just the CYA or all tests?

Do I have old checmicals? All my other chemicals seem to work fine, but when i add the 5 drops of green solution after the two drops of r-7, it turns a sort of bluish color, then when i start adding drops of the last reagent, it turns yellow within 2 drops. I haven't tested it in a long while...

See pictures. Have large buildups under the hottub Rick overflow and along the grout lines on tiles in a few spots near the hot tub. I think I remember MA/water mix in a cup with some sort or brush to clean it...

My CH was too high about a month ago so i backwashed to waste before a big rain and a little after to lower it. got t back around 350. now it is back to 460, and i haven't added and hardness. i did just add MA and bleach Just finished test results FC - 8 CC-0 PH 7.2 TC-8 TA - 45 (out of...

Noticed recently that I seem to be adding more water than usual. Now, it is getting hotter, but just seems like a lot to me. Also, when I turn the pump on now, the basket before the main pump has to fill with water, when usually it has water in it and just starts. (pretty sure) Is this a...

Is it a problem if I take it from 0 to 24 ppm then do the test next weekend? Only have 8 boxes of borax, and I bought out the two walmarts near me.

Came back from our of town and booster pump won't run. It tries to kick on, and makes the sound in the video below for about 10 seconds. If I don't turn the switch it will do that about every 2 minutes. Any ideas what the problem is? I replaced the front cover (leak) 15 days or so ago, but it...

I have a pool with a freeze protection standalone box that seems to not be working. I really don't want to pay a pool service 80 dollars to come out and tell me it's not working then charge to install one. Is this something that is easily installed with proper safety precautions taken? It has...
