repair recommendations

Extensive internet search found very little in actual aluminum CP-2 bullnose repair. For background i consider myself a modest DIY'er, most typical pool equipment upkeep, I perform. Avid researcher and info junkie. Im a former military jet maintainer and former powerplant maintainer and now...

I have an inground SWG pool. I have at least 4 screws that have rusted away that hold the liner track in place, which is causing a section to droop. These screws are under the overhang of the concrete deck, so I am unsure of how to replace them. Any suggestions on how to repair this? What do...

Just noticed my supports are splitting what can I do to fix this??

Looking for recommendations on a quick repair for glass tiles on our spillway edge. A dozen or so had fallen out and managed to get the builder back to repair those and close out a few other final punch list items. A week later a single tile popped out. Can anyone recommend a water proof...

I just had the bottom elbow assembly fail for me on my really old Hayward S244S sand filter. I was able to find the parts online that I *think* will fix it, but it'll be in the neighborhood of $250 by the time I get the replacement parts + replace the laterals while I have the sand out (plus the...

Hi, I have a Hayward Tristar VS 900 that was damaged in a hail storm. I have a replacement controller but when I took off the old controller the wire harness came apart and I have no idea which of the 4 wires go to which plug on the controller. Hayward won't help. Does anyone have this pump and...

Hi everyone, I have an AquaLogic / GoldLine / Hayward AQL-P-4 Logic Control Board that was working fine when I closed my pool last year. When I tried to open it a few days ago, I noticed that my Logic Board is kind of going crazy. It seems like the information on it is inverted (needs to be...

Hi all! My family has been a lifelong above ground pool owner. We began in the early 90's with a round aboveground and enjoyed the many, many seasons that we had that 'ol thing! Then, roughly 6 years ago, as a retirement gift to herself, my mother had the original pool removed and we...

Hello there! We are new owners of an in-ground fiberglass saltwater pool (it was installed in 2014/we're not the original owners) and have been chasing leaks. A leak company came out and confirmed it's leaking from the skimmer and from a crack that formed on the pool steps (we think it must have...

I've just lost use of my pool equipment after a lightning strike. No lights will come on my control panel. The pump won't come on. My indoor control panel has no power. The poolside remote has not power. I have done a little sleuthing with the help of some computer engineer friends. We've...

Another "fun" discovery while doing some renovations and having a hard time getting someone out to actually look at it/fix it so thought I'd ask in case there is a way to fix this that isn't terribly difficult. I've done some digging and I was surprised to find this copper pipe as the apparent...

I'm very new to pool ownership. Help me Trouble Free Pool, you're my only hope. I've attached a picture that is hopefully worth a thousand words. When replacing the pressure gauge, I think I overtightened it because I noticed a small crack in the plastic where the gauge attaches to the filter...

Concrete lids alternative/replacement?…Any recommendations? Hello! Thanks in advance for any insights on this topic. Our pool builder steered us into concrete lids (custom poured pavers) as a pool cover topper.…however I don’t think they were implemented the best, as they’ve done some...

Hi! We purchased a home in September of 2021 which came with a less than 10 year old Fiberglass Pool and Splash Pool. The Splash Pool drains into the main pool through 3 spillways. We live in Indiana and had a particularly hard winter. During some spring clean up we noticed that some of the...

After massive rains Zodiac SWG is displaying "Output Fault" error. I disassembled it, but do not see any damaged elements. I'm curious if anyone can advise me please what I need check to return it to life.

I have an indoor pool on our home. I recently installed a new check valve and hose to my chlorination system as the original was slow leaking on to the pump room floor! Purchased all OEM Pentair parts and appropriate pipe tape was used. Checked for leaks and everything was good. Since then when...

Our in ground pool over the last 5 years has sunk in one corner/side. As you can see in the photo, the waterline is sloped to the one end (call it south shallow end). We have a skimmer box on each the North and South side. The skimmer on the North side is barely getting enough water while my...

Hello awesome community! My pool cover is 4 years old and has multiple leaks starting this year. There are 2 long fold lines along the cover and all leaks are along these fold lines. The 2 folds basically form an X and right in the center is the biggest leak. Ideally I'd like to repair it but...

Got into the pool this afternoon and saw these little specs sitting on the bench below the spillover from the spa; i presume this is grout, but wanted to check in and get your thoughts? If so, any suggestions on what i should use to repair this, and any first hand experiences with a how-to or...

15 ish year old pool, original liner. I’ve been owner for the past ten years and we have significant whitening of the liner with some discoloration for the last couple of years - looks like where leaves sat the year we didn’t cover the pool...No leaks or tears that I know of. A corner is pulling...

I’m a new pool owner and need some help. Every joint on my steel coping around my 20x40 vinyl pool is rusted out like this. Can this be repaired or would replacement be the only option? I have a concrete deck. If replacement is the only option, why would I have to replace the entire deck...

Despite our best efforts, like so many North Texas pools, we have cracked plumbing (hopefully all above ground), including a couple of valves due to the recent freeze. Two questions: 1) Since it is unlikely that I can get this repaired over the next 3-6 weeks, due to the overwhelming number of...
