My Polaris 9300 stopped working a month ago. I had installed a new floating cable in 2011 after the unit stopped working after 1 year. It was under warranty. Now the warranty has expired. I ordered online a new floating cable 2 weeks ago from Aquaquality Pools out of NY. I installed it yesterday...

If algae is present, will the walls be slimy? I didn't have any slime on the walls. I opened my pool 3 weeks ago. Water was clear and levels were good. Then a day after opening, we received 8 inches of rain and our back yard flooded and a river of mud got in the pool. I finally got the mud out...

I'm having our pool closed, but they can't do it for 7 days. The temperature will drop to 25 degrees one night this upcoming week here in Indiana. It is a salt water pool. Can I just run the pump during the cold spell or will the pipes freeze?

My Hayward Super pump was locked up when I opened our pool last week. When I took it a part, I got the shaft to spin, but it didn't spin very well. I ordered new seals and when I installed it today, it was running very hot, could not touch but for a few seconds. At least it wasn't leaking. I'm...

We have an Undertrack Automatic Pool cover. Last year the rope pulley broke and our pool installer fixed the problem after several days. Yesterday I heard a noise while I closed the pool. Today I opened the pool cover only a few feet and tried to close it. Only one side of the cover would close...

I have an automatic pool cover. When I close the pool for the winter, How far below the skimmer do I drain the water level? Since the cover rest on the water, if I drain below the return eyeballs, this will make the cover sag and could damage it? I have plugs for the return eyeballs, but will it...

Last Friday here in Southern Indiana, we received 3 inches of rain in several hours. Water usually drains fine through the easement between the houses. But the muddy mess backed up into our pool. The other day I dug out a trench in the easement and will add rock to it next week to hopefully fix...

I have the Aqua Rite SWG. The "Inspect Cell" light began to flash today. It is less than a year old. I'm guessing it is flashing because it has over 500 hours. Can use something other than "muriatic acid" to clean the cell?

Opening the pool, Before I prime the pump, I read I should unscrew the top of the sand filter and release any air. After I open it, do I screw the lid on the sand filter shut and prime the pump or should I leave it open until it is primed? If I leave it open, will the water shoot out of the top...

Our Salt water pool is only 4 months old. The screws that hold the skimmer on the side of the pool are already rusting and bleeding down the side. I just talked to our Pool installer this morning and they said it was the "metals" in the water that are causing the rust. They pretend there is...

Can we swim after adding stabilizer to the pool? I added 4 LB yesterday and need to add 4 lb today.

OK, First time using the TF-100 kit. I fill the CYA mixing bottle under the label, I add R-0013 to above the label. Shake, wait 30 sec, shake, I then hold C A tube at waist and slowly fill. So when the black dot disappears, that is my reading? Does the water become cloudy in the tube? I filled...

We are having an inground pool installed. They started June 10th. They poured the concrete floor 3 weeks ago. Today I noticed several cracks in the floor. What are my options?

We are having an inground pool installed this week. A friend warned me about the type of anchors being used for the hand rails, ladder, etc... with the SWG system. Should we use copper, bronze, plastic, etc....?

I have searched for hours for a good quality basketball goal that is anchored in for our new pool. I have seen the SR Smith goal for $400-$600, Dunrite goal for $300-$600, First team Hydro sport goal for $1200-$3500. I only want to spend no more than $600. I would like a breakaway goal due to my...
