    Pool Light Tripping GFCI

    Just wanted to see if anyone was actually able to fix this issue. I have replaced the light and gasket even though I do not see any moisture in light. I have re-terminated the cables at the junction boxes. Also have plugged a radio in at the GCFI and does not trip. Still the light will come...

    Liquidator model R-101

    Can I ask where you found so cheap? Ill be honest I have not ordered one yet because I can only find it for $200 shipped which I think is way too much for a plastic bucket, some tubing and a couple of valves.

    Poolskim and Kreepy Krauly

    Hello... Picked up a pool devil pro from amazon for 39.99, placed it on the end where most leaves fall and the kreepy krauly would get stuck on the fitting hooked to the return. As it would go over the hose and hang up. I relocated and found that I shouldn't have tried to cheap out on this...

    Aeration to RAISE PH

    Question: My PH is at 6.8 and I ran my spa blower for over an hour but did not raise. How long should it take to raise PH to 7.2 by aeration?

Just a small history i had a pressure cleaner polaris 380 and was sick to death of rebuilding. Yes i know i sacrificed one of my two skimmers but having...

    Suction Cleaner

    Hi everyone I was looking at a robotic cleaner but cannot spring for the money. Whatever cleaner I buy will probably have to stay with the house when I sell. With that being said I was looking at a Kreey Krauly cleaner. The price and the rebate just make it the best practical deal. I then...

    Help with leak

    Yes, but its not my black plastic, its the work of the guy before me. He used plumbers tape or something. The union is glued right up to the elbow so the only choice is to replace the whole thing. I have no idea why the guy put these in. It wasnt leaking until now so I had put the project off...

    Help with leak

    Good Morning... Below is a picture of my location of leak. These two pipes are my returns, however I am confused as to why there is a 3 way valve here. I assume one return goes to the pool but what does the other go to? I have never turned this valve after purchasing the house 4 years ago...

    Temp boost

    So I brought the floater in and put it in a bucket of ice water and it dropped to 40. Put it back I the pool and 30 min later was back to 78. I think the Jandy is bad. No way the floater could be off by almost 20 degrees.

    Temp boost

    We get shade on this pool till about noon so they water is always pretty chilled. Is there a way to boost the temp a little? I've looked at the solar options but was wondering if I. Used my heater to give it a boost would it hold? See the odd thing is my handy Carl says 62 but the floating...

    Selling Need BIG Organic Stains Gone!!

    I boosted chlorine to 10 and have held it there for almost 2 weeks, brushing like crazy. Sadly the stains remain. Last year I held shock lvl for almost a week (costing me a fortune in bleach) and still couldn't get these to fade. Not sure what else to do but drain at this point?! :( I took a...

    Selling Need BIG Organic Stains Gone!!

    Ok need some big time help. I bought the pool and had some stains, got rid of them by shocking for 3 to 4 days and scrubbing. Then one fall the Oak Tree from the neighbor dumped its leaves in my pool when I was gone on vacation and stained the entire bottom. Since then I cannot get rid of the...

    AA and sequestering agent

    I started to bring my levels up and did a full test on the water. I had skipped the cya test this year thinking that it wouldn't change but I went ahead and tested. The cya levels are showing 0 and last year before closing I was at 70. I tested twice and same results. Could this be a result of...

    AA and sequestering agent

    Thank you Jason. So yesterday I did a pretty good AA treatment and some of the stains are completely gone. Now I have what i feared the most. The part of the pool that used to be under the neighbors Oak (lets call her oak doom) is still deeply stained so I am starting to think these are organic...

    AA and sequestering agent

    I am about to tackle the metal stains in the pool. Wasn't hard to identify since I found bottles of algaecide in the shed after buying the house. Vit C tab worked as expected. I have ordered the AA and now need the sequestering agent. I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on what brand...

    Ready, Set, Swim!

    Thanks for the compliments. TF-100 how I love thee! The pool was already in when I purchased the house. I can say that my father in law just put his pool in and went with pebble simply because he enjoys the feeling under his feet. I guess... hehe
