Hello everyone! So I have owned a vinyl lined 16x38 inground pool now for 15 years. I paid the $3800 to have the liner replaced in 2006. I am a strong "do it yourselfer" and have replaced out and replumbed just about everything in my equipment pad, but I have never done a liner. I am...

I am sure someone has already done this, but it is a first for me. I hate having to buy pool water bags every year because they break and tear so easily. This year I am trying something new. In my house we go though gallons of milk and water constantly. I just started saving the...

I might have a deal on a cheap salt water ionizer, but I am reluctant to switch away from my chlorine setup. Is it possible to run both systems and then gradually back off on chlorine? Also, for those of you running the salt system; are you noticing quicker corrosion of pumps and equipment...

So I just bought a used Kreepy Krauly Classic, hooked it up an the thing works awesome. I haven't really opened the insides yet (hope I don't have to for awhile)...can someone explain how the mechanism works? I know the hammer is the only moving part, but I don't understand how the suction...

This is such a great forum and I appreciate the input. I have been recently toying with the idea of installing an antique coal/woodburning boiler on my plumbing loop. The thing that worries me is that I have 2" pvc pipe on the loop, and the boiler input/output is a 1". I am not sure what...
