Hi Guys, in-ground, SWG pool. The top of the liner(metal behind the liner) seems to be sagging. Is this a DIY or do I need to call in a pro? Was thinking of just putting peelable siicone in there to keep water out for summer, but never encountered this before. Thanks for any help! Brian

I have an unidentified pool slide from the 90's. Looks like the same one i had as a kid in the 70's. There is no identifying markings on it. I need to replace the bolts and some type of cork\rubber bushing connecting the rail to the slide. Have searched but no luck... any info would be greatly...

Hi, need to replace my T-9. Going to get a T-15. Should I just stay with Hayward at the premium price or are there reputable dealers with cheaper replacements that people here can recommend? Thanks! Brian

I need to buy a new pump. The old was a Hayward 1.5hp. On amazon, a 2hp is only $60 more. Is there any advantage to paying extra and getting the 2hp? My pump is wired at 110v. Thanks, brian

Been toying with this idea for a a few years. Pretty much given up due to cost. Instead of solar powering a DC pump to run water down slide, do you think a 12v deep cycle battery, wired to pump and use a solar panel to charge the battery. An on\off switch to only circulate water when in use...

Hi, need the spring(GW9522) and I see it for no less than $15. I know $15 is not a lot, but it kills me to pay this for a simple spring. Has anyone matched one at a home depot or lowes? Anywhere else I might be able to pick up a simple, comparable spring? Thanks, Brian AKA "El Cheapo"

Hi, I have a custom shaped pool 18x33 at the widest/farthest. The original cover is shot(15 years old) and I need a new one. It was a Merlin Solid cover. I just got a quote from the dealer that the previous owner bought it from and it was $4,520.00 before taxes... I plan on checking with other...

I am replacing my cracked SP711-txc control valve with SP0714T control valve. I have included pictures. The new head INTAKE is to the side and not directly above the RETURN. I am looking at 2x 90's, but does anyone have any helpful tips with regards to attaching it? Thanks for any help! Brian

Hi, about to open my pool and I need to replace the top control valve, part# SP0714T. It had a crack that I filled with epoxy to get me through the season. The pool is about 14 years old and I've had it for 5 years. I plan on doing the deep cleaning that I watch video on(very helpful). So my...

Can anyone suggest a SWG for a small above ground pool? My brother in-law is looking for a system and what he found didn't look to good... http://www.athomerecreation.net/chlorea ... r-ag-13638 maybe it is though? Thanks for any help! Brian

SWG, 23,000 gal inground vinyl swimming pool. I checked today and my chlorine was .5-1 on the basic test. I looked at Aquarite and it said my salt level was 2300 and to check the cell, add salt. I stopped the swg and went to pour in two gallons of chlorine. I added the first gallon, then when I...

I have an inground pool that the previous owner had a hollow rectangle flowerpot 4'x1' poolside waterfall. It uses a return pipe that has a vavle on it. It sticks out of the concrete surrounding thepool, about 4 inches with a 2.5 coupler. I never liked it, is there any info on a hollow boulder...

I just switched my pool over to SWG. Dumped my first bag of salt in the little end and brushed it around. I used morton solar salt and it didn't dissolve as fast as I thought it would. Took about 1/2 hour to get most of it to dissolve. I had 18 more bags to go... What I did was, place a folding...
