I opened the pool yesterday with hardly any issues. When I started the pump, water started leaking out of a crack near the pressure gauge in the multiport. It isn't leaking too badly so it's not a big deal. I plan to try epoxy to stop the leak first but I was searching for a new replacement...

I opened the pool last weekend (Yay!) and the water was nice and clear (YAY!) but my Aquarite SWG said the salt level was at 1800 ppm and wouldn't produce chlorine. I had emptied out some water when I closed and added some when I opened so it was plausible that the salt level was accurate. My...

Last year, while trying to air lock my main drain I think I damaged my existing ball valve. I would blow air into the main drain line and could see bubbles coming from the main drain. I closed the valve and when I opened it to see if the air lock held, water was on the other side. It didn't...

Has anyone purchased anything from www.poolandspasupply.com? They have the best price on a rebuild kit I need but would like to make sure someone else has at least confirmed they are a reputable site before I buy something. Thanks! Matt

I am thinking ahead to when I try to close my pool by myself for the first time in a few weeks. The picture below shows the three pipes coming from my two skimmers and the main drain. I need to air lock the main drain but can blow all the water out of the skimmer lines. The far left valve is...

I bought my pump 11 months ago and it's worked just fine with no problems until today. I came home from work and found the clocks flashing as if we had a power outage. The power was on and the pump was making a very loud noise it hasn't made before. I checked and I had normal water flow and...

I hope this is in the right forum. Now that I am getting more confident about my pool and how to take care of it, I've gone through the things in the pool shed that came with the pool. I came across 7 of these things that are stacked in the pool shed. I can't figure out what they are for...

I'm looking for some confirmation that I'm buying the correct timer for my set-up. I have a 230 volt pump and an Aquarite SWG (running on 230 volts also) that are both wired together and come on with the throw of a switch at the pad. I turn both on and off by hand (again, one switch controls...

I am looking forward to beginning my second pool season and I plan on spending a lot less on chemicals on it now that I've found this forum! :party: Over the course of the summer I got some (now I know was bad) advice.....I had someone tell me that if I'm not going to use my heat pump, I...

I ordered a safety cover for our new-to-us 24k gallon in-ground pool this fall. With my Dad's help (he's a professional pool boy) we drilled the holes for the anchors and installed it ourselves. When we had a company come close our pool (back in October) I specifically asked him if we should...

I've been learning a lot from this site. I bought the house and existing pool in January and don't know much about the pool and equipment. I just finished the aqua rite circuit board thermistor replacement fix :whoot: and turned the pump on. After a minute I heard a click/pop and black smoke...
