I can get the algae to die in the pool water but the cleaner has algae in between all the parts and does not die. Any suggestions? Will the sun kill the algae on it if I leave it in the sun for awhile?

Bought a Skim Eeze and it does not work. Don't waste your time or money. I sent mine back and got a full refund.

Why does the pool calculator suggest using so much more shock than on the back of the product. I have Leslie's SuperPowderPro 73% and it says to use 1 lb/13,500 gallons. It is way more than that if I use the suggested level for green algae on the Pool Calculator. Thanks!

I think I figured out the problem. I think the backup valve is bad on the Pentair Legend. It is staying on continously so all of the power if going thru there instead of thru the cleaner. I noticed that there was always water going thru there, but now a lot of water is going thru it and as I...

I'm not sure of the age of the last plaster job. We almost completely drained it last year to try to replace the light (the cord is stuck in the pool wall and can't get it out) and I think this is what caused the cracks. They are almost invisible except when there is algae on the wall. They...

P.S. Yes the main motor is very hot.

Is this normal to have hairline cracks on the sides of the pool? Also, I have a chip on the bottom that needs to be repaired. Is this something for a DIY'er? My plaster is very white. I have used "pool patch" before and it has come out and it was kind of gray instead of white. Any...

Okay, I'm a dolt. They actually replaced the motor with a bigger one. It went from 1 hp to 1.25 hp. The flow and pressure seem about the same. The booster pump worked fine after they changed the motor. It just stopped working the pool cleaner arbitrarily. I used to be able to turn it on...

What does Fr: 56Y mean?

mas985- I doubt they replaced the impeller, being that they acutally installed the motor incorrectly by switching the ground and the hot wires and then telling us we had an electrical problem - my husband is the one that figured out their error. I'll have to check. When the main pool pump is...

My 1.5 hp pump motor was recently replaced by a home warranty company with a 1.25 hp motor. Don't know why they put a smaller one in - discovered it after the fact. It's working okay, sometimes having problems priming it. But now my booster pump is not working consequently my pool cleaner is...

Duh! I think that is my problem. Funny that the pool supply stores don't even know how to install this item!

Do I have it in upside down? If I put the hinge on the bottom then it would probably close when the pump is off.

I inherited a very old pool when we bought our home. It came without a weir. Found this universal one with spring loaded hinge. I thought the flap would go down when the pump is off to trap the debris (thought this was the purpose of the weir). It does not go down. There is some styrofoam...

I think I have finally found the answer to my cloudy greenish water. My chemicals all looked good but continued to have greenish cloudy water - couldn't see the bottom! Went to Leslie's (have found that by going to different stores you get more/different answers) and got some Fiber Clear sand...
