Probably a dumb question but how does one attach a 2 inch backwash hose to a 2 inch PVC pipe. Couldn't find anything in Home Depot. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks

Guys - I'm being advised by Leslie's to partially drain and refill my pool. Apparently I have very high metals and very high Cyanuric acid. Is there anything I should be wary of? Is it a good thing to do? Appreciate any thoughts, Thanks

I'm hoping someone can give me a bit of advice. This morning I noticed the pool pump didn't come on. I had a look at the control panel. It has power but switching but the pump isn't working. The motorized valves are operating ok and I noticed that there seems no power to the heater. I can't see...

Hi there Can anyone offer advice please. I turned the Spa on, first time in a couple of months. The spa has heated up to 100 degrees F but there are no jets or spa action. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Guys - As the heading says I keep splitting pool hoses. Over the years I've replaced one or two per year but this year I've already replace 5 or six. I'm thinking there's something I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts what will lead to so many pipes splitting. I just got another today! Thanks for any...

A while ago my pool light failed. It's 15 years old so bulbs fail right? I bought a new one and when the pool guy came around I asked him to put it in. A few months later it failed again. The spa light went out. I assumed it was bulbs and (many) months later I bought two new bulbs. Today I...

Guys - could I get a bit of advice please? Problem - this morning I noticed the water level in my spa had fallen about 6 inches overnight while the pump was off. Yesterday, I had drained the spa to clean it and I noticed there was a cracking noise as the actuator moved. It was the diverter...

Guy - I have a pool heater problem. It's displaying an error, it just says err. No numbers just "ERR" and the service light is on. Can anyone give me any troubleshooting steps to see if i can fix it please? Thanks

Hi Guys I have an inground spa/pool. I haven't used the spa for almost a year. Today I noticed that when I try to heat the spa the water drains from it. I assume it's draining into the pool. Can anyone suggest trouble shooting action? Many thanks

Guys - I've recently noticed my spa getting dirt and sediment sitting on the bottom. I've emptied the spa and vacuumed it but after running the pump the dirt returns. Pool guy came around and said it just needed vacuuming. I'm not sure how these things work but it seems strange to me that the...

The title says it all. My pool cleaner is a Hayward Navigator. Unfortunately it doesn't navigate. I've had it in Leslie's Pool Supplies. The thing used to scoot around and cleaned the whole pool pretty well. Now, however it won't steer. It just creeps into a corner and sits there. Leslie's have...

I think I may have a problem with my equipment. This weekend I noticed that the pressure in my filter was a lot less than normal, about 50-60% of normal. The pump seemed much louder and there seemed to be lot of bubbles visible through the window on the pump. I tested the suction from the pool...

Guys - I'd appreciate a bit of guidance on my heating system. The pool water circulates to the roof where it's heated in those black panels. The system is about 9 years old and it's been very effective. Just recently however we've begun to hear water dripping and gurgling constantly while the...

Guys - I have a problem with my spa. It's an inground spa connected to my pool built about 10 or 11 years ago. On occasion in the past it has stopped bubbling. The company who built the pool advised that the spa nozzles sometimes come loose and there was probably one that just needed tightening...

This may be a dumb question but my excuse is I'm new. My pH is 7.2, a little low I understand. But my total alkalinity is 120 ppm a little high right? Does that make sense? Item 1 tells me I need to add soda ash but item 2 tells me to add acid. Isn't that contradictory? any help gratefully...

Guys - I'm new here and I hope someone can advise me. I have an in-ground concrete pool and spa. Last night the spa didn't 'bubble' it heated but there was no jet. On examination there was a bit of plastic in the spa and it seems that one of the jet nozzles had come apart. They're recessed...
