I am replacing my vinyl liner and ordering all new gaskets and face plates. Although not a part of the liner, the black rubber gaskets on my fiberglass pool stairs always run black residue, as they are deteriorating. I made the mistake of not knowing how the SP1023 returns are installed. It...

I have a 16x32 rectangle with fiberglass steps. It's a pretty standard pool shape but there are certainly some dimensions that I am concerned with getting incorrect and adversely affecting the install of the new liner. I want to order a liner online. Considering...

I have access to a physically damaged T-cell-15 where the housing needs replacing but the cell it self has very little use. I also have an old cell with good housing. Anyone know how these cells are rebuilt? I know people are doing it because there are vendors selling rebuilt cells.

One day last week I cleaned my pool with the brush and I must have created a tear because the next morning, the pool was 50% down. I ran out assuming my pool cleaner had jumped out of the pool or something, but saw a 6" tear in the bottom corner on the shallow end. I assume that the brush tore...

I was looking at buying this used cell listed as Not working, For parts. It's my impression that this could be caused by a bad connection with the board, a wiring with the board, lightening, or bad connection in the cell (maybe?). If I know MY board is good, then maybe it was only an issue...

I just overhauled my plumbing with a new VSP and SWG. I re-used the sand filter but did the deep clean from the stickied thread. Now I cannot get circulation with the various combinations. Here are the multi-port setting with results: Filter: Pump will not prime, little to no flow returning...

For replacing my burnt up 1.5 Super pump, I decided to go Variable Speed for my basic 20K in-ground. It was between the Hayward SP2302VSP and the Pentair 432001 both equally priced at $640. I read reviews, articles, and forums. It's hard to get a real comparison of the two so I found Energy...

I am looking for an alternative to jug dumping for convenience and going out of town for extended periods of time. However, I am trying to do this for under $500 but the cheaper the better. I've done just a touch of research and here is what I have seen: This guy just put DC power to a cell...

With my 20K gal vinyl, my pump 1.5hp Hayward Superpump motor failed. I have replaced bearings and seals twice and pieced milled other pieces for the last few years of it's 10 year life but it needs to be replaced. It's a 2005 pool with 5 year old vinyl and an old, barely functioning Polaris...

I am leaving for a 7 day vacation (Key West if you must know! :cheers:) and I would like to be able to keep the pool as low maintenance as possible. I keep my pool b/w 3-8ppm with my CYA around 35ppm and borates. Should I buy a few tabs and put in the skimmer? I know they are stabilized but...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KZ ... os_product Amazon wins again! I finally get confimation on what my borate levels are. Hopefully the strips are accurate and easy to read, but you know how strips can be.

Just opened the pool and my fiberglass stairs are yellowish. I noticed these stains last season but didn't know the reason. Now I see that it is probably because of iron levels in the water. Since my water is below my steps at the moment, would this be a good time to clean them? If so what...

Getting ready for borates: Yesterday I lowered my TA to 80 with MA. Resultingly, my pH dropped to ~6.8. In the sticky it said to get the pH to ~7.5. I was wondering why you can't just go ahead and start adding borax. It seems to me that borax would raise the pH anyway and would just mean...

Hi, First post and a very recent pool owner. I just got in my kit and most of my chemicals. I have bleach, baking soda, muriatic acid, and aqua chem stabilizer (100% cyanuric acid). First off, when I got home noticed a slight greenish tint which I'm sure means trouble. I did a test of all...
