Noticed pool pump not on. Timer is running but manual switches not turning on pumps. No breaker tripped. Opened panel and saw melted wires....

Installed my new Polaris 380. I am not sure if I just need to tweak it or I have a real problem. I replaced a Letro Legend II? that was 15 years old 1. I used the blue plastic flow thing in the wall fitting. 2. I got exactly 28 RPM on the wheel speed test. 3. My hose is a bit too long (2ft) I...

Replaced my AS32 2R025 Summer 2015. Yesterday I was gonna get a salt read and had 2.2v on diagnostics. Took apart this morning to find the replacement thermistor split nearly in half. Is it the usage or does weather play a factor in the life cycle. My box is mounted on southwest side of house...

Pool owners... North Texas pool. Open year round. Freeze guard in working order. Last night artic front and crazy wind blew in soo many leaves that my skimmers clogged to the point where water was moving at a trickle through lines this morning and it was 16 degrees. Drained pump by removing...

FC 5 CC .5 TC 5.5 PH 7.8 CH 450 TA 120 CYA 40 SALT 3200 Looks like CYA is low, TA is High, CH is Almost High? I am basing my comments off the article I saw on this site about salt pools and chemistry

How do you KNOW if your pool is circulating properly? I don't have any reason to believe mine is not...

I keep my SWG North Texas (Ft Worth) pool open year round. I have no backyard trees. My vegetation surrounding my pool is Crepe Myrtle and Red Tip Photinia. After a winter of keeping up with my pool and having decently balanced chemicals I noticed this past week a yellow/greenish growth on my...

Currently I have a Raypak 2100 (406) that can heat the pool and hot tub. I don't really ever see me needing to heat my pool. I did get quite attached to sitting in the hot tub in the winter though. I am in the process of Troubleshooting my old RP2100 that may be not worth saving. If I decide to...

I am running in to problems with my gas heater and I am wondering if anyone who does this for a living could ballpark a figure on parts/labor for replacing my Raypak 2100. I am a layman. I assume there is a current model that could replace my aging one. I have a 33000 gallon pool with SWG. I...

My very old inherited Raypak 2100 won't stay on. It ran through April here in Texas. It got hot in Texasp, and I don't do hot tubs in 100 degree weather :cool: so I haven't turned it on since April. As Fall is approaching I wanted to make sure all was good. (The LCD screen was not functioning...

I purchased this home with pool. The yellow marked spa valves are used when I run the hot tub and the other marked valve controls the fountain height in the spa. The previous owner was unclear about the valves I have marked 3 and 4. Can someone help me identify? Thanks in advance... PS Also...

So bought this house in December that has 33,000 gallon pool with Aqua Rite system matched with Turbo T-CELL-15. The Aqua Rite control box on the wall from 2013 according to receipt. If I go by receipts kept I can only assume the T-Cell is from September of 2007. I live in Fort Worth. The...

I have a Summer Escapes pool with side pump/skimmer option. The pump and skimmer do a good job of getting the surface trash off but the fine particles go through the filter paper. I am forever trying to vaccum the sand/dust from bottom of the pool. Are their better paper filters on the market...

I was looking for some North Texas (Dallas / Ft Worth) input on what do with seasonal pool in the Winter? I have a Summer Escapes 15x42 (side skimmer pump/filter type). After this past week's cool off I am thinking it will soon be too cold (water temp was 65 this morning) for anymore swimming...

Good Morning. I picked up a Summer Escapes Pro Series 15' x 42" this weekend for $219 (Reg $299). I wanted to document my site build so you can see/comment on what I am doing wrong or right. I am currently in Day 3 of the build but I will go back to Day 1 for my first post. I live in Euless TX...

Sorry newbie question - Is the salt water generator and sand filter the best option for the least amount of post install work?

I was thinking about getting an Intex Ultra Frame pool 16' or 18' so I came here and did some research... wow, the leveling process is very in depth! Can some of you ballpark the costs associated with preparing their yard to accept the pool? Leveling, sand, pavers, foam, tarps, etc. I need to...
