I am getting lots of worms in my pool. These are not earthworms but little inch long white worms with brown stripes. I had my first outbreak about a year ago and it coincidently happened after I was told one of our grand children had an accident (#2) in the pool. This left me to believe the...

I automated my liquid chlorine delivery to my pool with a Stenner peristalic pump. I power it with a current sensing switch so that it only runs when the pool pump is running. When the Stenner is adjusted to anything under constant flow it makes a very audible clicking noise. Setting the...

On my parents pool they have a Pentair VS pump that is programmed to run at predetermined times as programmed thru the pump software. I want to install a salt water generator and in my way of thinking it should be wired to the pump so that it shuts off and on with the pump. If it was wired to...

Is there a Pool Cleaner on the market that has the ability to be controlled remotely. Some reference being able to be directed toward corners and such but are vague on whether that is considered 100% controllable? I would like to have total control like I was mowing my lawn.

Would a panel mounted surge protector like HOM2175sb be enough to protect a VS pool pump or is there a better method?

My pump had died. It was on hospice for two year so I have been planning for this day. I wanted to check with others to see if my new pump selection is appropriate? My new pump selection is based on the assumption that my original pump was sized correctly. The deceased pump is a 10 year old...

I have concrete pavers: Pros: The look awesome, They hide rust stains if pool chairs rust assuming you get darker colored pavers, They can be removed and replaced if you have plumbing problems. Cons: The are hot, hot, hot, you have to spray for weeds and ants making their home in the...

I agree it should never leak but sometimes it does and it does not give me any warning. So this switch would just be a precautionary step to protect my pump should I lose prime for some reason. Thanks for the reply

I will eventually install a 2-speed pump for my pool. Will a typical in-ground pool pump prime on low speed? If it will then below is a mute point. If it will not please keep reading. I want my new pump to run on high speed for the first 10 minutes to make sure it is primed before and...

Thanks guys, I knew someone had calculated this. Looks like I bought 7-1/2 gallons of drinking water! Is there a simple test to confirm this? I would never be able to convince this ACE Hardware of the degradation factor!

How long does it take liquid chlorine to degrade in strength? I bought some from my local Ace Hardware store and when I poured it in my pool is was clear not yellow like previous chlorine I have bought. Three hours after I added it I checked my chlorine and it did not change. My math...

My exact thoughts Rocco

Fortunately my pecan trees are not close enough for the pecans to get in my pool but I do get the 8 to 10 sticks that shed off of the tree yearly that cause me problems. These sticks weigh less than the pecans and the wind carries them into the pool.

When mine quits working I will purchase another. Love it
