I “think” I have a Hayward s224t filter. I am losing water out of the top of the valve. It starts in the valve grooves slowly (rinse, backwash, recirculate, all of them evenly) and then spills out and just continues to leak. I thought about buying the whole assembly, but thought it could just...

My main issue is prolonging my swimming season as long as I can. I was going to buy a solar cover and build a reel and all that, but then thought a solar panel would be just as cheap. Is there an advantage to one over the other in terms of heating? Pump run time is a non issue. Thanks. Jonathan

Do you guys up the chlorine in your pool before you have a party? I'm going to have 20 teenagers in my pool tomorrow for a bday party. Just wondering. Thanks.

So, I am in the process of building my deck. Well about to start. Wellll, someone else is about to start, I am paying for it : ) It is turning out to be very very expensive deck, which I dont know what I was hoping for trying to go all the way around it, but anyway, I am thinking about...

First let me say sorry For the lazy question but I have run out of time and don't understand it all. I have a hayward s244t sand filter and a matrix power flo 1 HP 2 speed pump. My question is, how long would it take for this combination to turn over a 28k pool on low? It is plumbed with 2" PVC...

We are going to put a pool slide on the deck of our new pool. It is like the ones you see on the inground pools. My question is, how do I plumb for the slide. It has an adapter at the bottom of the stops, that looks like you just screw a waterhose into it, but that would be putting water in...

Well, I broke down and decided to hire someone to finish my pool project. I dug the deep end and got the pool put together and of course Tropical Storm Beryl turns from heading South, and decides to head North right along the Carolina coast. Soooooooo, I battened down the hatches, escaped with...

If I have a return the is on the bottom of a 33' 48" deep pool, and a return that is angled, would that cause me a water circulation problem?

A new pool pump for a 33' round pool, which would you buy? In terms of electricity usage, water movement, reliability. I am not sure if the pump is working, and if it isnt, I definitely have to get a new one and am willing to spend a little extra to get what I need. Thanks in advance.

Soooo, I bought a used pool off of craigslist (2 actually) and it appears that the pump I bought with the newest one is shot. I took it to the pool store and they plugged it up and said the pump would probably not last a day. He (the store owner) said the bearings are shot and he wouldnt put...

I have a buddy that works for a pool supply place that his uncle owns. I will be getting my CYA, Muriatic Acid, and Liquid Beach from him. He also said they put what they call a "board" on pump house wall that has a tube that goes directly to the pool. Has anyone you know used a system like...

Is there any reason why I cant use the beaded liner casing as the strips that cover the overlap liner on the pool. It seems like the same concept, and I can just take a straight razor and cut the bead receiver off of the existing strips. Sorry to sound so cheap guys, but I tend to try to use...

Hey guys, well it is taking me forever to get my pool in the ground. Mainly timing of the person leveling the site for me (relative) and birthdays and mothers day. But it will happen. So here is my thought. I want to get a pool going. I have an intex that we have ran for the last couple of...

Hey guys, I bought a used 33' above ground pool. It had a beaded liner. I want to put in a deep end, but can not seem to find any 33' expandable beaded liners. It seems that all of them at that size are overlap. Does anyone have a 33' round AGP with a beaded expandable liner that you know...

Okay, and I know this is a lot of judgement and such, but I have bought an above ground pool, and honestly went as cheap as I could get and the pool has some rust. My plan is to reinforce the wall at the bottom, where the rust is, and coat it with bedliner before I bury it. How much rust is...

I wanted to see if I can get some real world information on pool liners and what the people that use them have found out. I am pricing liners for my 28' (according to doughboy) pool. The liners I am pricing for them are very very expensive. To the tune of $920 for a 20 mil doughboy liner...

I have narrrowed my list to two pools: The CAMEO from the pool factory: http://www.poolfactoryonline.com/pool-s ... 7QodyzUt0Q Or BARBADOS from bestbuypoolsupply: http://www.bestbuypoolsupply.com/barbados-1833.html To me, the CAMEO looks like a better deal (comes with liner and skimmer...
