Thanks for the link. I guess that this is the best I have seen so far as far as replacement/fixing a broke small valve. I have a cover protecting the pump area, it was bare when I bought the house. Thanks

Hi, I am redoing the original plastic ball valves that have cracked handles due to sun/age. I am going to put jandy valves on the larger valves, and was wondering what to do with the smaller 3/4 valve that runs the above water spray nozzle on the side of the pool. Is there any manufacturer...

Jim, Thanks for the information. I saw Jandy makes a 1.0 HP VS FloPro but would I need to run the pump at less than full rpm when not running the vac and still have enough flow for the skimmer or swcg or would I just be running it at full rpm all the time? My old swcg was just wired to turn on...

Hi, I have a 12000 gallon pool with a single speed 1hp hayward superpump 2 and an old swg and sand filter. Looking to go to a vsp and new swg. Will a 1hp vsp work ok with my current setup? Any recommendations on swg/vsp for my setup? Mix/match? Looking to install myself and have read...

Looks like to control the waterfall, that would require the pool controler and be around 1k, I think that is more than I want to pay just to divert water to the waterfall automatically. So what size variable speed pump should I replace my 1hp single speed pump with?

Hi, At the point of all the original equipment needing replacement. Currently have a one hp superpump and salt system that I need to replace. I also need to replace the plastic ball valve for the waterfall since the handle has broken off. I was thinking of putting a varialbe speed pump in and...

Hi I have a hayward heatmaster that i haven't used in a number of years. I am going to sell the home and opened up the cabinet and there are packrats inside. They have a nest and have eaten up the wires. They have also made a serious mess of the rest of the inside. Is it worth the cost of...

So it is just a feature that really does nothing other than tell you the temp? Have you ever heard of this sensor going bad?

I have a compupool 36 that has been running a few months. When i access the temperature reading from the unit, it can be fluctuating anywhere from 10 degrees above or below the actual temp from a thermometer in the pool. (checked it with two different thermometers in the pool). Actual temp in...

Have had the new system up for two weeks. compupool36 on a 12000 gal pool. ph 7.5, cya 50, alk 100 salt 3500. Running the system at 40% for 6 hrs/night with no use of pool yet. My cl is only around 2. It seems it should be higher with a 36 at 40%. I saw you recommend higher cya levels. Any...

I have some small cracks in the cool deck, what is the best way to fix them... thx

thanks for the info, i guess it won't be a problem.

Have a question about salt and concrete. Will the salt water leave residue on a concrete patio deck when it evaporates? I live in AZ and I have dogs that will be leaving water all over the regular concrete deck that is outside the perimeter of the cool deck? If so do you have to seal the...

I am researching salt water generators for my 12000 gal pool. I understand over-sizing the system and i have read that you should do it 1.5-3 times the pool size. I was thinking of CompuPool systems that come in 24,36,48 sizes. They are rated on amount of cl produced per day but is that...

Ok. one and 2 are ok right now so should i wait until tonight to shock again and just lose my cl during the day or should I add cl during the day before it drops more and continue the shock during the light hours?
