Hoping to get my pool running for the year, waiting on some new parts (simple stuff, gaskets, etc). Today I was moving some ornamental grass that was too big/too close to the pump and filter and managed to break the pvc return line. Oops. I don't think it will be a huge repair, but my husband...

I recently opened my pool, water was relatively clear (for the first time ever, yay TFP!). Bottom was filthy with dirt (loop loc permeable cover, so no surprise there). Pump motor dead so had to replace that (successful install, I think, yay me!). Ran the pump last night for an hour and a half...

I admit to being ignorant about all the parts and pieces, but I know we have a 1HP AOSmith motor on a Hayward pump. The motor has gone bad and needs to be replaced. We have replaced it before with exactly what we already had, but didn't know if this time we should be looking for something...

This past year was my first year using TFP methods, and in nearly twenty years of pool ownership, it never looked better. I closed the pool MUCH later than in years prior; hyper-chlorinated and put on the loop-loc mesh cover. Ignored the pool all winter. A few days ago I peeked under the cover...

Hayward DE filter, just took apart and cleaned. Before I put it back together, do I need to lube this: Thanks!

At the risk of asking a stupid question...I'm new to TFP, my fancy test kit is on its way to me, so all I have is basic kit for now. I had a slight algae bloom, nothing too bad, so have been adding 10% chlorine and nothing else for now. As it stands, chlorine at 3 ppm, pH at 7.8. Water isn't too...

Hi everyone! Just discovered TFP a few days ago when researching how to get stains out of my pool. So glad to have found you ( tired of being "pool-stored"). Here's what I can tell you about my pool: 24K gallon gunite pool with plaster (pool is 30 years old +/-, plaster redone two years ago)...
