Took it to a pump shop yesterday, bearings were going out already, replaced with higher quality. They let me watch them take apart and fix, nothing else abnormal. Took it home hooked back up ran fine all day and night. This morning I turned it on, ran for about 2 hours on high setting as I was...

Yes. Called Pentair again and they refuse to warranty it because I cannot provide proof of install.

Impeller looks clean, I wiped some small debris around seal and out of inside of impeller. Reattached everything and it's still loud. Pump seems to be running fine.

I have not. Is it just the 6 or so bolts that connects the motor to pump housing?

My 1 1/2 hp whisperflo, not even a year old yet is not sounding right. It also seems to be underpowered. Seems to have good power and connections to switch for two speed use. Took off impeller cap and it seems to spin freely. Not covered under warranty according to Pentair because I did not have...

I appreciate your concern, fortunately concrete and concrete removal is one area me and people I know are fairly good at. I didn't think about the backfill, or the bond beam. How difficult is the bond beam? any tips? As far as shipping steps via online suppliers. I did a lot of looking around...

Looking to finally replace my broken steps. Anyone have any suppliers that'll ship? I found one place online http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/Splash-QP0084TS-8-Straight-4-Tread-In-Ground-Pool-Steps/QP0084TS.htm I'm attempting to put them in myself. All of the local pool service companies are...

Thanks for all the tips, just i to give an update. Today I was having a pool company in area fix my steps ($2300). A "painter" showed up and commented that he had never done pool steps before and was very confused. I asked him what he was going to be using to fix the crack and he showed me a...

Thanks a lot Jason

Bleach, bleach, oh and bleach Like the previous said; read pool school, use search and get a test kit. If you're shocking properly your pool will clear up, keep your filter clean.

Hey everyone it's time I started to replace my plumbing and equipment as well as my pad. My booster pump for polaris shot **** and my main pump is, as I can tell, as old as pool. I'm going to be replacing all the plumbing and valves from ground to all my equipment and my pump. Here are my...

Kias With your space, clumping Bamboo should be fine. You can always thin it out to keep it under control (weedeater). Even normal running bamboo can be controlled, you'd have to put down some sort of plastic barrier in the ground. You can also kick the new shoots over once they poke out which...

Thanks for all the help. The quote was just for steps. Heres pics

I was told that they could be thermoplastic. The steps are about 20 years old

Re: Putting More Tropicality into Your Locality Zone 6b Styl FYI if anyone is looking for hardy banana (musa basjoo) cheap, check out http://northerntropics.mybisi.com/ . Company was extremly nice to work with. Bought numerous banana, went to wrong address by Post office, they replaced the...

Not sure if this helps but i've been buying the cheap $12 solar spot lights from Home Depot for accenting trees and what not. These lights, if they get enough daylight really work well for smaller applications. Even in the winter they would shine bright for most of the night. Cheap alternative...

Formed a crack in my steps last year, other than acid, anyway of determining which material they are? I heard if the're fiberglass they can be repaired. A local company quoted me $5000 to replace, seems high to me.

Need a new liner for my inground. Anyone recommend an installer, need some other things fixed as well (steps, lights, skimmer) Thanks

68 F 100 + heat index expected in STL area this weekend so i'm not complaining

Yea i've been letting air out of filter. The gasket is really cracked so i'll start there. Water level is slightly above mark on skimmer.

EDIT My return valve operates my step returns and polaris line near skimmers. The other pipe goes to the other returns. 2 additional questions 1) Should the polaris line have pressure without booster pump running? 2) Could all the bubbles from my jets be linked to the booster pump and polaris...

Any tips on jet direction for an l shaped pool. I've moved the jets around for a month now and can't find a good position that will get debris to skimmers. A lot of debris accumulates in the corners/turns. Is this common on an L-shaped pool? Another concern is that some of the jets have very...

has anyone had problems with regular wood mulch finding it's way into their inground pool? I'm currently using small black rock about an inch in diameter and i'm constantly brushing it off the concrete and i find alot of it in my pool, sometimes in my pump basket. My biggest problem is getting...

FYI if you're living in the desert or having a drought, animals like chipmunks or squirrels will chew on leaves to get moisture. Just my 2 cents worth. Try placing a pan full of water but then you're just helping them lol.

This is true, Unless the planters are on the ground (dirt) and the roots can spread through the drainage holes of planters, the bamboo will have no where to go. There are some "southern magnolias" that are evergreen but like somebody said earlier they will drop their flowers and at some point...
