I am closing my pool and notice dirt particles coming from my returns. Long short 3 of my grids have small holes. I plan to try to make a repair and use a t shirt and crazy glue it over the less than 2" hole's. this is a temporary repair of course unless it works real well. :) Any...

Thanks for the quick reply. It is cement based grout. This was the way Anthony & Sylvan the company that built my pool did the tile work.

The grout is falling out between my coping and tile in a about a 20 foot section of my pool. My decking is pavers. Is there any problems this can cause with water getting in there and lifting the coping? I feel that any water that gets in there will not stay since I have pavers and my soil is...

Suggestions 1. When you tap on an item for instance PH. General information on what this does. If it’s too high this happens, if it’s too low this happens, it’s more important with a liner pool compared to a concrete pool etc. etc. etc. 2. The ability to graph your logs over variable times...

My PH also increase so I am constantly lowering it, TA is also on the high side last check was 110. My CH is always very low, last check was 250. I don't notice any other problems beside this and this has been like this for many many years. I am just servicing the light and noticed that it is...

I have this whiteish building on the stainless ring for the SAM light. It will scrap off if I try very had with a finger nail. is this a chemistry problem, hardness?

The grout between my coping and tile is cracking in about 30% of my pool at the shallow end. Besides the aesthetics will this cause any other damage to the pool or the coping that I need to make the repair as soon as possible? I was reading another thread about four years ago that I did not...

The housing near the drain plug on my Waterway SVL5 Pump is chipped and leaking water. I temporarily fixed with with teflon tape. A few years ago I replaced the motor with a 2 speed A.O. Smith B983 high efficiency. I am very happy with the way it performs. So I need a recommendation on a new...

In my limited experience hayward is generous with the warranty. I have no experience with a variable pump for a pool but in my opinion with variable motors and drives, they are expensive and more prone to fail. stick with the tried and true regular ac motor. I purchased a green two speed 3...

I have been using Pool Calc for years and seen that is hasn't been updated and was wondering it there is a better app?

It turned out to be the Motor. This was for a friend and they called a pool company and they determined right away that it was a bad motor. I didn't want to take the chance since the measly motor was around $200 or more and didn't want to steer a friend wrong. Suck on the vacuum switch switch...

I pulled the motor from the housing and had no suction at the hose fitting mounted on the motor. I could blow air with my mouth in the fitting and there was "0" restriction. Someone told me this motor should really spin and make a decent amount of noise, a desk fan has much more air flow than...
