I am planning on going SWG and changing to a CircuPool, Black & Decker or Calimar VSP. I am aware that normally these pumps are intended to run all day or run most of the day then turn off and start the run sequence again the next day. Generally this would work for me but I would like more...

Becasue of the cost of LC these days and the fun of lugging it around I think SWG will be money well spent and a time saver. Recommended brands & models? Size: From what I have read as big as I can afford. Is there such a things as to big? I most larger one are is the 50K to 60K gallon range...

Liner was leaking and had seen better days. I looked for the leak and could not find it and it was leaking at a decent enough rate that I would need to add water every few days. As it was I filled it back up 3 or 4 times over the past winter. Not sure how old the liner was, it pretty much...

I should have replaced these when the liner was done earlier this year, so my bad. Everything is exposed, I have replace all the pool line and found that the back side of the return jets is cracked and leaking. They are split and no amount of pipe dope, teflon tape, glue will seal it. I...

I know I should have done this when the liner was replaced earlier this year, but that did not happen. How easy is it to pull back the liner and reinstall the liner now that it has been in for 6 months? Any tips or tricks? I'd like to replace because half the screws holding in the face plates...

Does anyone have information of replacing the light cord that is an a large Pentair line voltage light? I would like to not have to put a whole new light if it's possible to just replace the line. If I recall there connection inside the light are just crimped on lugs. I would imagine where...

Anyone know the differences between SR Smith's Economy line and Residential line of pool ladders? Their spec sheets only list minor dimensional differences (Residential is 23" inches above pool deck and the Economy is 19"). Is one from their own line and the other from a company they acquired...

I'm having a liner replaced and also changing the coping out so that pavers can used. The rest of the paver and concrete decking around the pool will be replaced next year. It's not in the budget this year to do everything, and I know it will look messed up with the coping pavers being higher...

I have a Hayward sand filter ( S244T ) and it's sprung a leak. I am 99% any fix is a band-aid at best (patching from the inside would probably be best, but still a band-aid). I am content with replacing it with the same exact filter (the cost of the tank looks to be almost as much as an entire...

I am wondering if anyone has found a source of bulk chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) that is equal to or better in price that BJ's of $14 per 4 gallon case? Is there any suppliers willing to sell by the pallet? I would be willing to share with out BBB/TFP users. If possible have a shipment...

I have been reading the posts on using bromine on this site to find out more about it use and how it compares to chlorine. BTW I use the BBB method for my pool and it been working great. A project I am working on (not pool related) has issues with filters clogging because of biofilm forming on...

After closing my pool the first year I realized it was a pain to blow out the lines. So I looked though the plumbing section at the local home improvement stores to see what I could rig up. What I ended up doing was to use pvc union connections for connecting the skimmer lines and return lines...

I saw an add for this on facebook and looked over the website and at first glance it looks like a nice idea and concept. I have some doubt as to how well is can measure the chemical levels in the pool and how long it takes for them send you the chemical you need. Plus there is the also the...

Anyone have a recommendation for an r40 size LED bulb to replace the 400 watt incandescent that has burned out? I am guessing something with 3500 - 4000 lumens?
