My 25+ year old slide is still in pretty good shape. The metal ladder portion and the 2 lower metal trestle's are sound and secure. My concern is that there are some cracks in the fiberglass, and I am worried that it could become compromised and unsafe. So here is a picture of my set up I...

I have a SWG, so I am asking for a friend.... Looking to replace his broken offline chlorinator with a Hayward, or Jacuzzi brand. His current one is an off brand. Do the threaded in and out holes for the flexible black tubing have a standard diameter as this would make for a 10 minute easy...

So, my pool has been open for 2 weeks, and since I followed everyone's advice for Closing in October, and opening this season, everything went REALLY easy. I have old fashioned vinyl cover and my water was clear and even had some Chlorine still registering. All other levels, including CYA were...

Got a few little tears in these reduculously expensive vinyl Floats. I know this stuff is supposed to be the best to repair it, but everybody on the planet is sold out. Can’t even find it on secondary market like amazon or eBay. one would think that there is something that is sold at AC Moore...

Good morning everybody Hope and trust that we all had a safe and healthy 4th . can anyone help me identify the cause and/or possible remedy for things like eyeball returns having a yellow/brownish tinge to them? here are a few pictures. aside from the eyeballs, there is a little of this...

I'm helping out my nephew with his new Intex 16x36x52" above ground vinyl pool. He will have a SWG. I'm ready for him to SLAM as soon as filled, but I am thinking this is what I am going to recommend. As soon as he has filled a foot or so of water, I am going to put a few socks with CYA in a...

Hi Everyone. Great to be back after a long, weird winter. Hope and trust everyone is safe, healthy and well. Just opened the 16x36 inground vinyl (no heater) SWG pool over the weekend. Water was mostly clear and I was off and running with my Slam. 48 hours later, the water is clearing up...

(Pool) Life is good Pool has been open and operating for slightly over 2 months, and pool chemistry has been optimized for quite a while now. My Nano pilot plus indicates 3100 ppm salt, midday temp of 86, and I operate at 40% usage. Readings as of July 4 ( the last time I plan to test): CYA...

Anybody have any ideas what is the rotating disk is at the bottom of the basket? This is a b-152 aftermarket basket that replaces my Hayward SPX1082CA TIA Larry

Good morning all, My Brother-In-Law is a Noobe and a novice, and thus simply uses HTH test strips and has an app that uploads a photo of the resulting strip to get results and the recommended chemical$ to add. He's coming to visit me this weekend, and we discussed using my TF-100 to test his...

Hi all, I'm sure I am needlessly worrying over something incredibly silly, but will a small piece of metal in my pool while I'm vacuuming cause anything to be concerned about? The swivel cuff on my vacuum hose developed a crack, and I tried repairing it with gorilla tape, but I eventually used...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure what my electrical cost is to run my pool. I run my 1.5 HP pump for 12 hours. I also run my SWG at nominal 40% for the full 12 hours. So that should be 946 Watts per hour x 1.5 HP x 12 hours x $0.12 per KW-hr. My math equates that to $2.04 per day to run the pump...

I'm relatively new to the forum, so I hope I am allowed to post these questions. I apologize in advance if this is prohibited. -What are the best websites to buy OEM or after market parts for repair? My local pool stores (including big chains like L***ies), charge a lot for the simplest of...

My AutoPilot SWG is controlled by a PoolPilot Nano Plus and one of the read outs on the main status screen is Amp-hours. I understand that this is indicating the total purification hours x the applied current, but why do I need to know this ? What do I need this information for? Since nobody...

The most consistent thing about my leak(s) is the inconsistency... I "usually" lose between 3/8"-1/2" per day, although some days I lose none ! (Weird,huh). I run my filter for 12 hours per day, unless I'm needing add'l chemical circulation or filtering during start up. I've tried switching my...
