Rebuilt my boost pump because the ceramic seal had cracked and it was leaking. I got the new impeller, and seals. I had removed that tiny little rubber gasket that goes around the axel for lack of a better term. At the shop I said, I need that little one for the rod that turns the impeller...

Mods, please delete. This topic appears to be quite thoroughly covered on this forum. My apologies.

It is pouring it my house now. Yesterday I flew up to the Red river and Trinity river to take some photos. It is insane how wet everything is.

Leslies is the only game in town and they know it. I needed a bag for my polaris. $45. I found it on line for $12 I needed new cartridges, their price $600. I found it online for $300 So now I need something less trivial. My salt cell has gone Kaput Leslies wants $600. I have a hayward...

I was looking at umbrellas from patio stores they were outrageously expensive. I found one at sears of all places for about 300 bucks. The base was not going to be heavy enough to really hold it w/ some of the winds we get so I filled the base w/ sand and buried the whole thing a foot under...

Fascinated to find the cause of a pump motor failure over the weekend. As of late, it had been making a funny sort f metal on metal noise when running. It started tripping the breaker. I went out of town and decided to deal with it when I got back. I came home and reset the breaker and turned...

I am doing some trouble shooting because my system is starting to show its age. Background: Salt reading "very Low". I take the cell to Leslies and they say it tests fine. Have a guy out and he says he can replace the PCB. The price is too high to I replace it myself. I literally took 1 wire...

The blower for my spa is for some reason, 5 feet off the ground and right in front of my control panel. Any reason, I can't just cut that PVC pipe a foot or 2 shorter and lower it?

I've been out of town on a camping trip in Lake Murry Oklahoma (beautiful lake by the way) Will be back tomorrow. I had my sister get a pool sample while feeding my dogs. When I get back I will run the test myself with the kit but this is the prelim from Leslie's FAC: 0 TAC: 0 Phosphates: 400...

I bought the good test kit. for what its worth just from my 2 test kit and my strips. Cl < .5 Br < 1 Ph = 8.4 Hardness ~500 Alk 180 Stabilizer = 0 All the numbers are extreme. I will post the test results from the good test when it arrives.

I didn't have the energy to mess with it back then. I really just thought "keep putting salt in this and it will generate chlorine and take care of itself" When I came here and found that was not even close, I just kept letting leslies fix my problems without really diving in and learning what I...

SLAM?
