Hello all, I have a relatively new Hayward Ecostar VSP that sounds horrible. This pump is going on it's 3rd summer and it sounds like the bearings are going bad (I've worked on cars for decades). I keep my pool open year round so there isnt much "down" time for it although I do run it much...

I looked and saw maybe 100 threads on cloudy water but almost 99% of them didnt seem to match what I have so I wanted to ask just to make sure. Pool info is in sig line. Pool was crystal clear and 84 degrees prior to a 10 day vacation. Got home and there had been record heat and almost no...

Hello all, my pool is in my signature line. I am looking for a robotic pool cleaner. I have a Polaris 360 that has never worked right since new and I am tired of it. It always gets stuck in the middle deep section of our pool and does zero with the clay silt/dirt but I know that isnt really a...

Coming up on my second winter with our pool. Last winter I left the pool open and running at min levels all winter and it worked out OK. Main problem is that we are up against a the woods with 50-80ft tall white oaks and other trees less than 40ft away from the pool. Lots of leaves! Pool has...

Just curious if any of you have an Autistic child. We have two boys who are both have ASD. One was just recently diagnosed, the other has been diagnosed for a year. It is one big reason we installed the pool, he loves water and his therapists said it would help. He definitely loves it and...

I did lots of reading, I did some cleaning and I even ran my hand across this stuff and I cant figure out what it is! Sorry for the long post but after lots of searching I cant figure this out and I am very new to pool ownership. I had a green-ish pool to start the year. I let my FC levels...

Hello everyone, I just installed a Poolskim last week and I am having a couple issues with it and I was hoping to get ideas from others who have it. In case my sig line doesnt show my pool is: My pool is a 20 X 40 Rect, in ground, vinyl. 2” pipe, 1-1/2” return fittings. Pump is a Hayward...

I live in Greenville, SC. Pool is in my sig line. This is our first year for needing to worry about winter, dont ask about last year! Winter temps do go below freezing at night but tend to warm quickly during the day. We have several pools in our neighborhood and its about 50% who close and...

Hey everyone. I had one heck of a time with getting my pool built and there were numerous problems. Some were fixed right away, two are going to be done after we close the pool for the season. One of those issues is redoing the pool base. There was quite the delay from leveling out the...

Hello everyone! I am a new pool owner and I had a not so great experience with the building of the pool. Short version is that we needed multiple sub-contractors to come in and none of them seemed to care about the work being done, they just wanted in and out. The actual contractor is a...

Hello everyone. I did search and I found almost too much information! I wanted to keep this as quick and easy as possible since my friends and neighbors all have different suggestions as well. Pool info is in my sig line. It is a big rectangle with 2ft radius corners, 3ft shallows on both...

Hello Everyone! I read the Pool School and numerous posts, but I wanted some feedback on my pool chem numbers. We are brand new pool owners and the contractor was not the best to say the least. I knew nothing on what to do after getting pool full of water and was flying blind until a few days...
