Hi Guys!! TIA for any and all help. Here's my problem. Several weeks ago there was a large construction fire several miles from my house. Major fire that pumped a ton of debris, ash, soot etc into the air. There was so much of it, it looked as if we were having black snow showers. This...

Hey Guys! Wondering if anyone has put in a liner that is borderless and solid color. Replacing my 15 year old liner that finally gave out. Looking for some practical experience. Reason for question, my "old" liner faded to the point where there is no pattern left. TIA for ya'lls thought...

Bingo!!! Found out today after some more testing that I have a leak between the throat and the body. NOT the gaskets. Looks as if I had some deck movement that allowed a leakage between the two. Guess I will be looking for an underwater sealant that will fix my seam that is leaking...

Opps.... after looking again, mine is a bit wider. Will post Pic later.. Thanks!!!!

That does look like it!!!

Need some help!! Looks like I probably have a leak at one of my skimmers at or around the gasket. Trying to find a model number on my skimmers, but nothing to be found....so far. When I search for gaskets, the info is pretty non-existent. Anybody have any leads, ideas, or path for me to...

Hey Guys... Just did a stain removal with the acid treatment. Everything went great and am very pleased with the results!! My question is the instruction on the site say to keep Ph at 7.0. TFP quidelines say to keep it in the mid 7's. Just a little confused so I thought I would ask the...

Hi Guys! TIA!! Put my CYA in socks and hung off ladder.Question is, is some of the CYA being filtered out by my cartridge filter? I do know it will take some time to show up on my test, but want to know if I;m loosing some to the filter. As always, thanks for all you help that has save me...

Hi Guys, Got the start of an algae bloom, but water ~52-53:cool: degrees. Thought algae would not start below 60. Has been a bit warm with plenty of sunshine, just not expecting algae this soon. I sure know how to fix it (Ph to 7.2 then SLAM), but just want to get ya'lls thoughts. As always...

You guys were dead on this one!! I found the leak....I think. Used the flowing water over the area I suspected, and stopped the bubbles. Gonna use the shaving cream to confirm. Looks like it's at a connection where male to female screw connection with SCH 40, 2" PVC. Either I used too...

I ended up getting a whole pump...price was about the same. I got the Waterway Champs 215. Put it in yesterday and really like the solution! Very quiet and now saving a ton on energy cost. Sami

Need a little help here. I just put in a new 2 speed pump, and am getting some bubbles showing thru the pump cover. Can see the bubbles coming in the inlet for the pump and none coming thru the check valve. It only does it on low speed and clears completely on high speed. It would appear...

It's sucking air from somewhere....probably the lid. Stop the pump, open the lid, check for debris around the lid and lip. Fill basket with water and replace/reset lid. Make sure valve are in correct position, then restart pump. Sami

My Waterway CHAMPS 115 pump motor after nine years is about on it last leg. Noise, whine....you know the drill. Looks like the replacement motor is the standard B2853, and is an easy cheap fix with a gokit. I would LIKE to go to a 2 speed motor. My timer is Intermatic PF1102MF digital. Both...

I agree with ALL the previous 256 post. Having read and memorized them all, I now have a "jug" of PhosFree, un-opened, for the small price of $20 plus shipping!! Any takers????:p Sami PS...Make that $15....I'm feeling generous......

Got it !! Thanks jblizzle !!!! Sami

Thanks Texas Splash!! You guys are the best !!! Sami

Duh..... I forgot...which one first? TA or Ph? Sami

Replace the motor or whole pump? If just motor, how about a two speed? And...who do ya'll recommend for on-line purchase?

As stated above, 9 year old CHAMPS 115 Motor that is getting a bit noisy. Is it possible to replace bearings/seal and get new life. Or best to just purchase a new pump/motor. Pretty handy and am able to tackle the issue. Thoughts? And where best to purchase "kit" to rebuilt. Thanks...

Uh..... I looked at it today. Opened a few weeks ago. Water temp in high 60's now.. Be ready to get in.....NOT !!!

Bought a gauge from TFP.net two years ago. MUCH better than the one I got at Lowes and MUCH larger dial. Just my $.02... Sami

Just personal experience...I did use the pool store way for 3 years. $1000 a year on chemicals and pool was just "ok". Went with TFP and the help of some many experienced with the process and have never looked back. Only maybe $200 a year on chemicals if that. Pool looks and feels the best...

Welcome Peter! I've had a TigerShark for 6 years now. Works great for me with only one issue with the tracks that were replaced in-home under warranty. Was a toss-up on how they got damaged....was probally my fault. Climbs walls great and cleans my 16K pool fully in the full run. Have only...

Did have something crazy in my pool for a bit. Turned out to just be my mother-in-law. We do refer to her as the "old bat", so I guess that qualifies.....
