    Couple questions re: replacing Pentair auto gas shutoff sensor

    Greetings all, I have been getting error messages on my Pentair sr400NA heater control panel about an AGS problem, so I got a replacement part. Check out attached photo for a bunch o' stuff. So my two questions are (would have been helpful if they had provided instructions!): (1) When...

    Is this a suitable replacement pressure switch?

    Greetings all, I have a StaRite SR400NA heater, and need to replace the pressure switch. The one I have now is a TecMark switch and its model info says "4037P- CWCW, K30F/3005" (see first photo). One I found to replace it has similar, but non-identical model info: "4037P , K30F 1814" (see...

    Greetings all! I need to replace the control board on my Sta-Rite SR400NA heater, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what model I need. ANY help is very much appreciated. I can see in the photo that I have attached of the manual, that I need to know if my heater has a (1)'stack flue...

    Wondering how much evaporation loss is expected in covered pool?

    Greetings all! I know this forum is for "just getting started" and we have had our fiberglass pool since 2006 (thus not really "getting started"), so feel free to direct me to a better forum for this query. We had leak around the skimmer that we THINK we fixed. We haven't yet refilled the...

    Fixed skimmer leak with sealant; how long should I wait before refilling?

    Greetings! I had a leak in my pool skimmer, so I lowered the water below the leak and used Boss 801 to repair it. I know the tube says "cures and bonds in 24 hours. Optimum strength is achieved in 7 days;" it has now been about 2.5 days since the sealant was applied. Is it okay to refill the...

    Two Q's re: correct sealant use when replacing FG pool skimmer faceplate

    Greetings all, I have a fiberglass pool that has a leak which my wife and I are pretty sure is located at the front edge of the skimmer. The pool was put in in 2006, and the sealant in that area was peeling off, and the gasket between the faceplate and the pool is definitely degraded, leaving...

    Anything tricky about owner replacing skimmer faceplate and gasket on FG pool?

    Greetings, I have a fiberglass pool with a Sta-Rite skimmer. We have a leak in the pool and are fairly sure it is at the front edge of the skimmer. We were going to seal the gap, but realized (if we understand the construction correctly) that there is a gasket between the skimmer faceplate...

    How to clean white mineral deposits at waterline in fiberglass pool?

    Greetings all! We have a sand-colored fiberglass pool, and ridiculously hard water. There is, of course, a hazy white section around the waterline that drives my wife absolutely nuts. We have currently drained the pool a little (beneath skimmer) for now to fix a leak around the skimmer, so...

    Can (possible) plumbing leak be repaired without jackhammering

    Greetings, My wife and I have a approx 12'x24' fiberglass pool, that was installed about 15 yrs ago. For some time now, I have been suspicious that there could be a leak in the plumbing (doubt it is in the pool itself) because I am losing more water than I think should be the case due to...

    Any particular variety of muriatic acid to use for cleaning filters? [also, is my cleaning plan acceptable?]

    Greetings all, I have never used muriatic acid to clean filter cartridges before; I have only ever used the detergent I buy at the pool store. However, I have two cartridges that I alternate between, and I think they are probably both pretty close to replacement time, but I'd like to see if an...

    Greetings all! I live in the Santa Ynez Valley, about 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara in California, USA. I have an approx 12' x 25' in-ground fiberglass pool with a pool cover that my wife and I have always absolutely hated. So now we are interested in a paradigm shift: We want to build a...

    Better sweeper than Pool Shark for small pool, low-ish pressure pump?

    Greetings! My wife and I have a 6000 gal fiberglass pool, and for years have had nothing but trouble with our Pool Shark sweeper. We have replaced parts on 2 or 3 occasions, and we are not remotely interested in ordering a new Pool Shark product, so we are looking for a suitable alternative...

    Better alternative to StaRite system2 cartridge filter for small pool?

    Greetings all! You know how you are not supposed to post to forums when you are angry and possibly unreasonable? Too bad...I am furious and sick of my horrible StaRite2 system 2 cartridge filter (the ones that are about 13" in diameter and 18+" tall). I have a 6000 gal fiberglass pool, that...

    Any recs for best filter cartridge?

    Greetings, My wife and I have a 6000gal fiberglass in-ground pool, and we have been using StaRite27002-0150 filters that are about 20"inches high and 13" in diameter. I never found that these cartridges do a great job. I clean the cartridge periodically by soaking it overnight in some kind of...

    Where can I find 12-sided replacement spa cover?

    Greetings all! I have a 12-sided in-ground spa (raised 18", surrounded by concrete, providing a ledge of about 2 ft to sit on) and I desperately need to replace the cover. I'd prefer to get something like I already have...a 12-sided insulated hard cover...but all the sites I have seen online...
