    Interfab wild ride slide parts

    It seems impossible to find a lower runway, left turn, for an interfab wild ride slide. Anyone have a good source for parts like this ? I hope not to buy a new slide

    Mystery leak.

    Ok, here's the situation. My pool is losing water. It possibly started last summer late. A mid winter snow storm destroyed my mesh cover which is how I noticed the pool was danger low. I added some water and marked the level a few weeks ago. Seemed to be alright so I put a lot more water in; and...

    Pump won't stop leaking

    So I open the pool this year and my 2HP super pump is leaking a good volume out the bottom. After losing a ton of water the pool is open, clean, and I am ready to take on the pump. I buy all new gaskets and replace them. To my surprise it doesn't fix the problem. I hold my breath and go in the...

    Foggy water

    My pool has been open for a few weeks with no problems. I noticed the pool was a bit cloudy and burning through more bleach than anticipated. At the point I have had 0 fc readings twice. I am headed to the store for some bleach and plan to add just after sunset, test in 30 min, then see what...

    Will bubbles in the basket hurt anything

    I just fired everything up from the winter because I noticed some stuff growing so I wanted to get the pool up fast. I believe I have a leaky gasket on the filter basket. I have suction and operating at normal pressure. Can I keep this running till I get to the store tomorrow or do I risk damage...

    air release on DE filter

    I let someone vacuum my pool the other day, and they pulled it out without disconnecting it from the skimmer first. I noticed rather quickly because I heard a strange noise from the pump.:mad: I proceeded to re-start the system as if it was the first time for the year. The weird thing is now...

    Hayward H250FDN Heater Error Code HS

My heater is only a year old, i have a call into the pool builder but haven't heard back. Does anyone know if this is a part that commonly goes bad (so I...

    CYA Usage

    I have virtually no CYA in the water; can't really test less than 30ppm. I use a tri-chlor feeder all season. Last year my pool builder told me to never add CYA because I use tri-chlor. By the time I closed the pool, I think i might have had 30ppm in the water, then I lowered the level for the...

    Pool to Full

    I have a mesh cover, and it appears my pool is full again. It is hard to say because it could just be the ice on the cover pushing the water into the return. I was planning on opening in a couple weeks. Should I drain the pool a little so that if it rains, likely, the pool doesn't fill higher...
