So, not sure if this is efflorence, scaling, a combination or what, but it seems to have become a real problem this summer. I had someone tell me our excessive hot summer is the culprit. I have found the easiest way to get rid of it is using a paint scraper and regularly changing the blades...

Mine does something similar - flipping the handle back the other way and a little jiggling gets it to run. ( I have noticed it works better if I never switch the handle - just leave it) A guy came out today to look at something else and suggested getting the power cord replaced. Also said start...

We have the same Hayward TigerShark that we bought when we built the pool in 2008. For the last year we have had to baby it to get it to run. I think it's an issue with the power cord connection, but hubby is not convinced it's worth fixing because of the age of the unit. Sometimes when you...

Did you do this yourself? if so, any suggestions/ Caveats?

How did you apply it? Did you have any spots on your old Kool Deck that had exposed concrete? I am almost 100% sure our deck was a multiclor Kool Deck ( pool was put in in 2007).

Did you try this? If so, how did it work?

I have been using the people who built our pool for these type of repairs--- but since they said they never replace just the capacitor, I checked with the local pool store - that said sure we can do that, but you realize your pump in still under warranty and whoever put it in last August should...

Thanks - I was just considering something like that.

So that black rounded thing on top might house it? Is that something they would replace when they install a new pump? Is there anything to keep this from tripping if I get it replaced? How long do they typically last? Is this something I can suggest to the repair people I have been using who...

Pool built in 2008 - Hayward. 2014 - 1st replacement motor on pump. 2018 pump motor went out - replaced motor and seal invoice says the brand was Jandy. March 2020 pump quick running - had it replaced Invioce says Regal. October it was leaking, they said mechanical seal failed and replace that...

Our pool motor had to be replaced. I used liquid chlorine to try and keep things okay until it got replaced. Based on "clumps" on the bottom of the pool that show up over night, I started the SLAM and they were almost non existent this morning. I have pretty high CYA, but seem to be able to...

So not sure exactly where this question falls. When the pool was built they included piping directly from the pipe attached to our hose bib to the pool underground into the pool. This allows us to directly fill the pool with a larger volume that could be done by the hose. There is a Wilkin's...

So the comment on the casing being warped is BS? and SCS is silicon Carbide Seal? Reading other posts people mention different seals around the pump/ motor - is there just one and people are using different names? If not will you be specific on which one I would be wanting to replace? By simple...

Pool built in 2008. 2018 pump moter went out - replaced motor and seal. Spring 2020 saw water around base of motor area, call and they replace the pump and the seal again. Fall 2020 - saw water again - they said mechanical seal failed and replace that. Now I see water again. New story is when...

Yes tested everything with a "real kit". May not be exactly 180. The dot disappeared before it reached any reading, so I used half pool water half tap, and multiplied the result by 2. How low do I need to get the CYA...aka how much water will I need to replace.

I have a 15,600 gal in ground pool built @ 2007. It does have a spa and heater. There is some calcium scale along the water line. Before I work on removing it, I want to make sure I understand how to keep it from coming back. Current stats CL -5 pH 7.4 ( I have to regularly add acid to keep it...

So this means my pool contractors comment that pools just do that over time, I should have done a different finish is really - no they did a bad job of finishing the plaster. Does it just get worse over time?

That article does not have any pictures - so it doesn't really help identify. I have similar spotchy spots. The unhelpful comment I got from the pool people was plaster just does that with age, you should have gotten a different finish. So are there pictures of the various stains to help with...

Curious if you ever found an answer.
