Hi, I have a Pentair Sta-Rite 1 3/4HP pump(P6RAA6F-216L) that just threw some bearings. 28k Vinyl liner pool with heater, cart filter, and Pilot SWG. No water features. Looking for recommendations on replacement (is VSP an option) and solid place to purchase from. I'm located on LI.

I've been doing some research and can't seem to find a clear path on replacement carts for the Pentair StaRite S7M120 filter. Research indicates Pleatco may be a top rated aftermarket replacement but I don't believe they make replacements for my filter. Does anyone have any intel on what's...

Duraclear - Made in the USA - wait for a sale or check your Williams Sonoma outlet !

Sun Garden parts are available in the US via mail order. We have one that is 10 years old and I just replaced the canopy last year, and did a re-cord this year. Great Umbrella !

Sorry guys .. just catching up ... Here's an earlier thread on the matter at hand. It's worth a read through. Perhaps CSI may be the metric to look at: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/63332-Did-low-calcium-cause-my-fiberglass-steps-to-blister?p=534442#post534442

How about tar paper and roof shingles ....

If you have fiberglass steps in your vinyl liner pool you likely want to maintain your CH. I have run into blistering on my fiberglass steps due to insufficient CH.

I can vouch for Volt as well. Use them exclusively. I believe they are brass though, not bronze. Cast lighting has bronze fixtures and they're considerably more expensive.

^ Direct burial landscape lighting cable will work - 14 or 12 gauge.

The devil is in the details. If you have a vinyl liner pool with fiberglass steps you may need to maintain a CH of 150, otherwise your steps can become compromised and/or end up with blistering. See this thread for details and pics: did-low-calcium-cause-my-fiberglass-steps-to-blister-t65720.html

Sta-Rite S7M120 cartridge filter (it's in my sig). http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/System3SMOM.pdf Page 5: "NOTICE: Be sure upper tank half contacts Cord Ring surface evenly and seal area is clean and free from dirt. Do not lubricate Cord Ring; lubricants may cause the Ring to swell." I was...

Just an FYI. Not all cartridge filters are supposed to have lube applied to that seal. The Pentair manual explicitly advises against it. I don;t have the manual for the Black Diamond 90 Cartridge Filter but I would advise checking the cleaning and reinstallation instructions before lubricating...

Just remember the play 3 and play are not weather proof speakers. The Sonos experience is bar none, the best. You'll love it. I would run some direct burial speaker wire (or 12gauge landscape lighting cable work well for speakers) while the ground is open. Locate the spots where you want...

I'm a big fan of the spring suit. 2mm, short sleeve, long legs, with back zipper. Carries me from mid-Spring to mid-Fall.

Re: Liner tracks/rails getting loose The "almost" should be qualified. If your vinyl liner pool has fiberglass steps and low unchecked CH level could problems with the fiberglass steps.
