After many years with my inground pool, the rubber feet that protect the vinyl liner from the sharp metal edges of the pool ladder disappeared during my pool closing last fall. No idea why the people closing the pool would have taken them off, but nontheless, they are quite gone! I have never...

Thank you. Good idea. I will do that instead.

I have a Circupool salt system that is a couple of years old. Since I've had it, I've had more than one pool store tell me that it's still ok to put stabilizer in the skimmer as recommended by the stabilizer manufacturer. On the other hand, the instruction manual for the salt system says I...

Hello all. My quite elderly Dolphin Diagnostic still works fine but the connector that plugs into the power supply has broken and is too rusty to connect back to. This is the pink and aqua blue model and I can no longer find the book that came with it. The Maytronics site lists a bunch of...

Thank you everyone. All 3 plugs (2 returns and skimmer) were 'in'...everything was completely winterized. The selector on the 'inlet' side was set to block the bottom drain...but left open to the skimmer side. I normally left it set to block both sides (skimmer & bottom drain) when I...

They guy who closed our pool showed up unannounced back on 10/13. That started a whole chain of events that have been difficult at best, a disaster at worst. This was a job I did myself for many years, always made certain I met the guy myself once I hired the job out, and this was the first...

Hey just a quick thank you to everyone who provided guidance and advice on getting my SWG installed. Thanks to your advice and a son-in-law who is much more comfortable with working with PVC pipe than I am, the unit is installed and working. I realize I asked a LOT Of questions along the way...

Thanks....just got back home. So do I understand that you're suggesting that I insert the cell on the diagonal pipe and the flow switch on the horizontal pipe? The current distance is 13 1/8" between PVC couplings (if that's the right term) on the diagonal piece and 16 1/4" on the...

Looking closer, I think the model number might be SL-40...here's the box...and the two pieces remaining to be installed. At some point there's the additional challenge of converting from 1 1/2 inch pipe to 2 and back again. Sorry...obviously I'm over my head here.

Oh wow...I had totally missed the elevation piece of that somehow. So my first job is to go 'up' probably 9+ inches and then figure out some configuration that is going to get the 25 or so inches front to back (in terms of the picture) and also the 10 or so inches 'left-to-right'...required to...

The line with the 3 elbows on the far, lower right (closest to the camera) is the return. Perhaps not obvious from the picture (from that angle) is that the longer vertical piece of pipe is installed at a 45 (or so) degree angle...so it is both dropping in elevation and moving to the right to...

Marty, you are almost always the first to reply when I get myself into these situations and I really appreciate it! I will keep the switch in the 'off' position and start sweeping the pool. Perhaps you can also help with my plumbing challenge as well. Any suggestions on how to configure...
