I bought some Ahh-some on Amazon and got Winter Pool Clarifier & Biocleaner instead of the Hot Tub plumbing & jet cleaner. Will this still work to purge my jets? Is the dose different?

Hi all, our small 2 seater Beachcomber tub has this strange substance floating in our tub.

Hi all, Our new hot tub(175US gal) was installed a couple of days ago. The installer added all the chemicals that came with the tub. There has been an overwhelming chlorine smell ever since. They supplied test strips & I have a TF-100 kit. My tests don't come close to the strip tests. I haven't...

Hi all, We have an 18x36 kidney inground that will need a new liner soon. Our old liner is light coloured which I appreciate because I can see if algae is starting and can slam it asap. I like the look of the darker liners. Can you see the algae on the darker liners? What other suggestions does...

Hi all, My solar blanket ties keep coming away from my reel. In the past I have used plastic drywall anchors into the holes with the screws provided. Anyone have a better idea as the plastic gets squished and broken when I put them into the holes with the screws. They don't really hold well...

Hi all, I have an older Diamond pump(label says PN 306656) that has developed a rip in the electrical cord at the pump connection. I want to disassemble the pump to fix the cord. Can anyone talk me through how to get into the windings? I don't want to mess up the seal. I have the outer cover off...

Hi all, I have a Sta-rite Dyna-Glas series MPRA that had a pretty good leak. I replaced the shaft seal, diffuser seal and the seal plate o-ring with parts listed in my manual. Was perfect for a couple of days, but now has a very slight leak (about 1/2c) per 24 hour run time. Suggestions? TIA PS...

Hi all, I have purchased 2 75' firehoses (for $50 bucks-what a steal!) and my plan is to run 1 to the front yard and 1 to the back yard. This will take some sort of 2 way valve. I have 1.5" PVC coming off my multiport for the backwash. Any ideas on what I can use to achieve this? TIA

Hi all, I have had solar heaters installed for about 5 years and this year I am experiencing constant bubbles at my 1st return (I have 3 ). So far I have back washed & deep cleaned my sand filter and switched the VRV from the top of my run to the bottom. When I close 2 of the jets the bubbles...

Hi all, I'm 99% sure I have a liner leak in my inground pool as I have not opened the pool yet and the water is still below the plumbing. I am losing about a 1/2 inch per day. The water level seems to stop at the same place each time(about 6" in shallow end. I did the dye test and found...

About 5 years ago I installed solar heating to our pool which is barely OK for us in mid-summer when the heat is intense in South West Ontario Canada but, in spring and fall when it's not as hot & the days are shorter it doesn't cut it. The highest we get is in the 82F range in summer so not...

Hi all, I have an older in-ground pool and under the concrete deck living in the sand/gravel is a colony of flying ants. I have tried for years to eradicate them, but every year they come back. They seem to enter & exit thru the coping thus bringing with them some sand into the pool. Do I need...

Been aerating my pool like crazy for a few weeks and am finally successful at bringing the TA into range, but now seem to have algae coating the walls and floor of the pool. Will SLAM it, but since I have had the jets all facing up was I compromising the water filtration? Also, now that my TA is...

Hi guys, Fixed a leak at the pump this spring when I noticed small bubbles coming out of the return and now the pump basket has very little air in it. However, in the last 2 weeks or so we have been losing 1/2" a day but only when running. Bucket test proved not evaporation. I dye tested and...

This just started. Pump runs about 11/12 normally. Now, lots of suction at the skimmer. Low pressure at return jets and the pump is running at 5/8PSI and surging. Took the pump apart, lubed the rings, impeller turning fine and started it up, no change. Back washed filter and glass is clear. Must...
