Has anyone tried this for a suction leak? http://www.fixaleak.com/pools.html

Hi all, I've just installed my new Jandy cartridge filter CV460. No leaks in my plumbing work!! But now I've realized the one thing I didn't plan for and that is air getting into the system. I have done a lot of work to seal any leaks on the suction side (I dug up the under the pool deck to...

Hi All, Looking for advice on selecting a cartridge filter. I'm hoping that someone could even go to the point of suggesting a specific model. As per my signature, I currently have a sand filter, which I have fought with for the last three years. I realize it has won it's right to retirement...

I've been having troubles finding a leak in my pool. In addition, I am having troubles with murky water returning to the pool after I vacuum and backwash. I think both problems are with my pool filter. The other day my filter started a small leak (not the original cause of the leak mentioned...

This will be my third year as a pool owner. The last two years I did chemical updates blindly based on what the pool store suggested. I had lots of problems (not all due to the chemical makeup) so this year I'm learning more before just following along. I've not yet picked up the suggested test...

I'm sorry to be constantly asking questions, but I can't seem to catch a break. Now that the suction leak has mysteriously disappeared (I guess that is a break!), I started to vacuum for the first time this season only to find the flow is almost too low to even keep the vacuum hose suctioned to...

I've got my new pump in :), I got my new SWG in :) (not turned on yet, but at least installed!), and re-did the piping at the pump/heater/filter area because the original set up was shoddy. My hopes in re-doing the pipes around to pump was that I would get rid of a suction leak...but that didn't...

So I've done a lot of reading hear on TFP about bonding. Great information is found through out the forum and I've learned a lot...but I still have a question. I understand the need for a bonding loop and bonding all the metallic items (heater, pump, filter, lights, stairs, etc) and now I'm...

I'm hoping someone can help relieve my disappointment:(. I recently bought a Hayward Maxflo Variable Speed pump (SP2300VSP). I'm just about finished the plumbing install. However, I didn't fully recognize (when reading the features prior to buying it) that the variable speed feature was only...

Hi all, I've read through a bunch of posts regarding sand filter problems but couldn't come up with an answer for the issue I am having. After turning the pump back on when ever I backwash or when the cleaner gets stuck to the bottom of the pool (causing me to have to turn off the pump in order...

Hi All, I need to replace my pump. Since I'm going to do that work i would also like to replace the existing piping with ridged white pipe . I've got a couple of questions I'm hoping people can help me out with. The first is, I'd like to replace the grey and white flexible pipes (three of them...

Hi All, I may have made a bad mistake when closing the pool for winter.:( I drained the return lines and the skimmer line ok but had troubles with the main drain. I was able to blow the water back (from the pump to the drain) a little ways, but no where near all the way then quickly closed it...
