    Light replacement question

    Good morning. We'd like to replace our current light with a pretty LED light, and my head is spinning with the choices and range of prices. I don't know where to start. Our niche opening is 4.5" wide and 5.5" deep. The light is 5.5" wide and about 5.5" long (see picture). How can I...

    Hayward Superpump VS is screaming

    I just wanted to say think you Marty! I did that and found some that were listed. I called a few and they ended up referring me to a guy who did a spectacular job on my pump. It's whisper quiet now. :) Whoo hoo! He asked if I had bubbles in the filter basket, which I do, not alot, but a...

    Hayward Superpump VS is screaming

    Any idea where I would find out which bearing to get? Or find a motor shop? So sorry to be clueless, but .. I am. :)

    Ok, I'll try a bearing. :oops:

    Thanks Mark. I think I may buy a single speed motor just for a back-up and look around for a motor shop to find the bearings (or someone who will replace them). I'm definitely regretting purchasing the VS pump right now.

    Hayward Superpump VS is screaming

    Hello everyone, 3.5 years old. I did replace the shaft seal and it's still making the same noise. It primes fine, doesn't leak just loud. I'm guessing it's the bearings :-(. There was a flying ant nest inside the seal plate, which I'm guessing did some damage? How do I go about searching...

    Suggestions on new CircuPool SWG system?

    Thanks, looking at the RJ-60 or Core-55. Thanks for moving the message and apologize for breaking rules. A little excited about not hauling chlorine bottles.

    Looks like I'm jumping in the salt pool game myself! Any advice on RJ vs. Edge vs. Core?

    My new high-tech chlorinator

    Excellent idea. My husbands beer making supplies are in Virginia, or I definitely would have used that!

    My new high-tech chlorinator

    Yep, thanks all. You can see how lousy a PVC mechanic I am. :rolleyes: I dump as much bleach in as I need, then dilute it as it goes in. I had to put some rocks in the bottom to counter balance, and put that lid underneath to keep the gravity going my way. It's working just great, though.

    My new high-tech chlorinator

    For those of us too lazy to hold a bottle of chlorine for more than a minute. Price: $18 more or less. Having a drink while it dribbles in for 15 minutes : priceless.

    Recommendations - constantly cloudy pool

    I thought I'd give an update. I decided simply to re-plumb the pool. This gave me the opportunity to deep clean the sand and to add three unions. When I took off the multiport and measure the freeboard, it was 6" too much! The filter calls for 10.5 inches, and I had over 16 inches of...
