Thank you! I still consider myself pretty new at this and I know next to nothing about mechanics. My husband cares nothing about a pool, so it’s on me to take care of it. Until last year all I ever had was the crappy intex cartridge filter. I’ve been all over that pump/filter though and didn’t...

Oh perfect. Thank you! Do you have any idea how I can prevent this from happening? The entire pool and filter/pump system was new last summer. We stored the pump in our outdoor storage building during the winter months. I’m just surprised I’m having to replace parts already.

We have soft water. Pool was filled last year and I’ve been working on turning it from a swamp to clear this summer. I added CYA on Sunday and have been slamming for weeks. Could finally see the bottom today! Water also tastes salty which seems weird since I don’t use swg. What would cause the...

We have very soft water?

What is this white stuff on my pump? My husband thinks it’s chlorine buildup? I’ve been in the slam process since June 6, (didn’t consistently keep levels at slam level the entire time). I was using too much chlorine at one point because I bleached my liner. I also have a couple of pump...
