On a previous post, I had a leak detection company come out. They found a leak in the skimmer and and repaired it with epoxy. However the pool was still leaking so I call a different company. They found that one of the bowls of the main drain was cracked. They do not do repairs, but said that...

I need some help on selecting a new skimmer weir gate. I had a leak in my pool, and the leak detection people determined that the throat of the skimmer was cracked. He repaired it with epoxy and now the old weir gate will not fit. The holes where it pivoted are filled with epoxy. The guy...

No. I did that once with my pump.

There is a company in Tampa, FL which has replacement repaired boards. They do repair on Aqualogic boards.

You will have to match frame. Look at the name plate of your existing motor and it should specify frame. Then find a variable speed motor with the same horsepower and frame. It should fit. Lacking that you could also go to a two speed motor.

Still have trouble finding a company to repair the pool. one of the issues, I think is the removal of the coping blocks. No easy way to do that. I an thinking: 1. Remove the water line tile around the crack using a chisel and hammer. 2. Drill 4 holes through the concrete shell about 7/8" x 12"...

I have a Hayward AquaPlus system that is 15 years old. Replaced the salt cell three times, and replaced the main board once. Still working great. Biggest issue is when the salt cell starts to go out. Several different things may happen: Won't maintain chlorine level, low salt reading etc...

I am beginning to see the repair issue. It looks like the leak repair companies all use epoxy to fix cracks. It was suggested to look for pool remodeling companies to perform a more permanent repair. ajw22: The pavers need to be removable because every several years I have to remove them to...

What you are looking for is surface area of the tubing. Smaller tubing, more surface area. Heat transfer is all about surface area. More area, more heat.

Ok, some news. One company has responded. They want to remove the tile around crack (good), and then inject epoxy into the crack to stabilize it. I'm not sure about that approach. Wait on more responses. The pavers are tight together. Under the pavers is sand. I believe that the pavers are...

I have a roof mounted solar panel array. By mid day my water temperature is 90. It is fed by diverting some of the return flow from the filter through the solar array. Again the area of solar panels is about the same as the surface area of the pool.

It is possible via the pavers. The concrete foot of the house does not extend beyond the sides of the column. I can probably dig up some photos taken during the construction if that would help.

When constructed, the base was a thin layer of crushed concrete. The area in question has had a amount of subsidence over the years. No it is just leveling sand. However I agree that it looks like the pavers are the root cause. I am currently looking for a company to come and make repairs. The...

My pool after 15 years has developed a crack in the concrete shell: An overall view of the corner: The crack also extends to the other side of the corner. I need recommendations on how to stabilize the crack. Thank You in advance.
