    Everything going through sand filter

    I replaced the entire plug assembly, so there is not really a way I could mess up the installation. As you can see in the other two pics, I found cracks on the bottom of the head, but not sure if these would cause the problem. Thoughts?

    Everything going through sand filter

    I didn’t just replace the gasket, but the whole plug (link below). As soon as the rain stops, I’m going to check the standpipe...

    Everything going through sand filter

    If there was just sand in the pool, it would make sense that it may be a broken lateral, but that would not explain how bugs and stabilizer would go right through. I'll open it again tomorrow to see if mt standpipe may have issues near the top (above the sand).

    Everything going through sand filter

    We have a Sta-Rite T-210WF sand filter with a 1 1/2 hp pump on our 16x32 above ground pool. We have been getting some sand at the bottom of our pool and now there are bugs getting stuck in my saltwater chlorinator (which is after my sand filter). I pulled the top off the filter to see if there...

    To Borax or no Borax

    I've done searches on here and I see the multitudes of opinions on this, but I guess I'm asking for a few for my situation. I have an above ground 16'x32' I am using a saltwater generator. Other than a short vacation when we came back to a little green on the walls last year, we have had it up...

    Where to buy stickers?

    Hello, I would like to buy no step and no diving stickers for the top rail of my pool that buts up against my deck. I know that they may be tacky, but with teenagers using the pool regularly, I would feel better if they are there. Any recommendations of where to buy ones that will hold up to...

    Thank you. I was wondering if it may be the spider gasket. I'll have to replace it to see what happens.

    Discharge Saltwater into landscaping?

    When I backwash and rinse, a lot of water is expelled. Makes me worry about if over time, the salt buildup will kill my landscaping.

    Discharge Saltwater into landscaping?

    I am concerned about discharging my saltwater pool water into my landscaping. Will this eventually kill my bushes? I have 120' run from my pool to the street so I would like to avoid running a discharge line all of the way to the gutter.

    Rusted Bottom Straps

    I have just acquired a 16'x32' above ground pool. We just disassembled and found that the steel straps on the bottom were rusted and broken. Where can i get replacements for these? I was wondering if I could just use treated lumber for ground contact, nylon strapping, or steel cable in place of...
